Oh Koh Phi Phi, What have you become?
I agree with you. I'm up in Isaan, and many people on the forums say it's boring. Up here, you really need a car to get to the best spots, or you can fly out from the nearest local airport. I moved here because of my partner, and honestly, when I first arrived, there was nothing. I was recovering from surgery at the time, so the peace and quiet actually helped a lot. These days, it’s a busy and thriving little town. Still rural, but we have banks, large shopping centres (though not quite malls), some decent eateries, and plenty of food and drink spots that have opened up. What I like most is that it’s non-touristy. Life moves at a normal, slow pace — typical rural Isaan. Lately, more foreigners have been moving up this way. Many are people who can no longer afford to live in Pattaya and are trying their luck in the countryside. That is what one or two have said. There's also a noticeable number of African schoolteachers here as well now. They are a nice bunch of people. That said, most foreigners don’t stick around long. Some are just visiting with their Thai partners from other parts of the country, while others give it a try living here. But many eventually leave — they miss the lights, energy, and excitement of the more touristy areas. I should imagine in another ten years, it will still be Isaarn as we know it with a few minor changes. However, it won't be the money grabbing and gouging that is found in tourist hot spots. -

Accident CCTV Captures Moment Driver Runs Over Drunk Swedish Tourist’s Head Outside Pattaya Bar
Nonsense, the results of inaction and no thoughts of safety are evident all over the country, from motorcycles in holes, to riders strangled by low wires, tumbling cranes and being electrocuted in a puddle! Nation is always crying after the event. -

Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting
Particularly when done by heavily armed, masked unidentifiable members of a ramshackle collection of militarised federal agencies, with no visible identification; then holding those arrested incommunicado in privately run detention centres. That has rather come to define the Republican way! -
