Popular Post Dolf Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 If people aren't happy in Thailand I wonder what will make them happy. Unless you are a skier who need snows I'm not sure why people rubbish Thailand.

Hold on buttercup, you forgot: - some of the most dangerous roads in the world - endless bueracracy - visa issues - daily discrimination ( depending on where you live ) - shocking air quality - language that's difficult ( but no impossible ) to learn - banking regulations - abissmal education system Should i continue? 3 7 2 2 2 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand there's quite a few westerners here that spawn kids with Thai women, they do go to school.

So facts then, sorry about that, i'll make stuff up that makes everything rosey from now on to keep you happy. You also need to bear in mind that a lot of people that have been here 20, 30, 40 years or more have watched Thailand loose the appeal it once had but have built their lives here, not easy just to up and leave. I'd not live anywhere else but interaction with the locals is now kept to a minimum. 2 1 2 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted March 5 Popular Post Share Posted March 5 13 minutes ago, Dolf said: I like driving there "There?" So you admit you don't live here. Live here a decade or so and you'll understand all sides of the coin, although certain expert members will keep pushing the "you're only a guest here" trope. However, say that about a Thai living in North Hollywood or some other Thai enclave, and working on a 10 year tourist visa while a pro-bono immigration lawyer plies the US legal framework looking for ways to provide that person citizenship, or at least a green card? Well, tell that person they should "go home if they have any complaints" or insinuate that they are only "a guest" in the US and you'll be called a racist and a nationalist. Point out the systemic racism and nationalism here and you're called disgruntled. Sorry - I really dislike hypocrisy and I'll point it out when I see it. 2 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never experienced it any worse than in the homeland - for me anyway. - visa issues Never had an issue. Very easy to obtain - for me anyway. - daily discrimination ( depending on where you live ) Not where I live - shocking air quality That’s why I use purifiers and stay inside on days with poor air quality. - language that's difficult ( but no impossible ) to learn English is spoken everywhere where I live, no need to learn Thai. - banking regulations Have 2 Thai bank accounts. Never had a problem with any “regulations”. - abissmal education system Maybe to some, but irrelevant to me. Should i continue?

I hate driving here my friend! I was a professional Cdl driver in the States! I ‘ve been to the Domincan Republic , which has third world driving habits too. But Thailand sucks for driving ! One must have eyes in the back of their head ( figure of speech) to maneuver around. I haven’t got in a accident yet here in over 8 years but came close to it and not my doing either. Besides that and the rooster, dogs and Sparrow noise nuisance, its ok Edited March 5 by riclag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
