Popular Post sidjameson Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) No great transformation for me. A solid 7 in the UK and an 8 in Thailand. Would be 10 here if I could have avoided ageing. Because retired my daily routine is very similar in both places. Bit too much home based I'm sure.

Popular Post CharlieH Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 Life here is far far better in many aspects than the UK that's for sure. For me 8/10 here and the UK well, the UK I knew has long gone so doesnt even rate a number now, but 18 years ago, wouldve given it 5 at best. 4 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bignok Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 I posted the truth. Increase Thai prices by 300% who rates it a nice place to live? Most would leave probably 95%. Its cheap with ok women. Otherwise its a 2nd world country. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should look in the mirror to solve your problems as you bring them on yourself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Furioso Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 I've been lucky and made a few friends my first year here. There's a couple of guys here I know that don't like me but they are still cordial, and I respect them for this. Back in farangland people are much more unforgiving/hostile. Actually, I'm the #1 enemy of at least 75% of the farangland population back home, because I'm a 58 year old white male. Cheap housing and not having to own a car are HUGE pluses. I love riding a scooter here, it would suck back in farangland. I think Europe is going to be ok for the next 10 years, even though there's the war in Ukraine. I think within those same 10 years millions of U.S. citizens will go to Washington D.C. and tear the government apart, thus ending the United States of America. My last few years in Farangland - 6.5 Farangland from 1975-2005 - 7.5 My one year here in Thailandland - 7 My 4 years in S. Korea - Meh 2 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mfd101 Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 Life in Canberra: comfortable, boring and noone to hold in my arms. 7 Life in Surin province : less comfortable, interesting, diverse, unpredictable, plenty of places yet to explore, trips to BKK & Cambodia & Vietnam, and I have my boy to cuddle every night. 9 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 9/10 when in my Bangkok condo or travelling around Thailand and working remotely for my UK business over the UK winter. Lovely GF for last 3 years there too. Huge number of expat friends and aquaintances made over the pandemic lockdowns and reopening, when I was in Thailand for a full 14 months. 4/10 when in my west London flat and working 6 days a week during the British "summer". A few trips out for Sunday lunch or dinner with friends and visits to family in Devon. Highlight of summer 2023 when GF came over from Thailand for 2 weeks and we bicycled 270kms on quiet west country roads and alongside canals, rivers, fields and seasides. Will "rinse and repeat" for next 5 years before hopefully moving to Thailand more permanently (then age 61, if still alive). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
