For now. Thailand is cost-effective for this American, but things are rapidly changing. Thailand wants to gouge foreigners for every last baht they can get. It won’t end once they bankrupt us. You summed it up: "Cost effective for Americans" and many other foreigners. If it was not then how many foreigners would stay?

You're making the rest of us look bad. Find a few good gripes, beat them to death, be rude and combative, and engage in senseless tit-for-tat endlessly with anybody that implies that you might be wrong about anything.

That actually has happened in both America and the UK but I was talking more about the number of rules and regulations being rolled out every day and the speech masters (you can't say that), it's difficult to keep abreast of what you can and can't do (don't even start on the traffic rules). As an example;- I took early retirement in Germany at the age of 57, my company would pay me 90% of my salary for 2 years when I left their employment. I went to my tax office to inform them of my new address in Thailand. I was told that I can't do that, I pay tax in Germany so I have to have a German address. I told her she can't keep me a prisoner in Germany because of her rule book and that my company will still deduct tax from my salary where ever I live. She got all confused and apologetic but the fact remained, I must have a German address. In the end she suggested that I register an address with a friend, which I did, and she wouldn't make any waves. I told her that my German bank knew my real address in Thailand, could this cause problems, she had to consult with her manager first. another round of discussions ensued where they decided to turn a blind eye regarding the bank (all duly noted down) but it would be better if my company registered me as having the German address and not the Thai one......just in case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralf001 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Tippaporn said: Well, hello fellow 'lunatic' kindred soul. I never could understand how so many farang are against the freedom one has here one the road. I quite understand what you mean by 'lunatic.' It doesn't mean that you're dangerous. It simply means that you can capably access what is appropriate driving in any given situation and what is not. So instead of following rules of the road regardless of whether they may or may not apply in a given situation you're free to use your own common sense judgement. Perhaps it's because so many farang have been conditioned by their own cultures into thinking that rules must be followed at all times no matter what the unique circumstances may be. Being German maybe it's part of my DNA but I like to drive fast. Now I understand that scares some people. But if I had to take into account everyone's personal and varied feelings on any action that I take then I wouldn't be living my life for myself. I'd instead be sacrificing my life to live it as others demand I live it so that they don't have to deal with their feelings being upset. Anyway, I share your sentiment wholeheartedly. Having started very young in life (7yrs old) on motorcross bikes then onto competitive kart racing in my teens followed by grass roots level door to door racing during my 20's.... Am confident I know how to steer, drive hard and fast for sure... dangerously I avoid, infact I have even stopped roll racing in the early hours cause I could see grief coming. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see too many children on the motorways. When will this supposed "accident" happen ? Been on the roads here for 18yrs to date, only had one accident that was my fault.. and that was cause some turd cut me off and immediately brake checked me on the motorway and I (having a bad day) nailed the throttle and punted the idiot into the guard rail on purpose.
