Nothing like a trip to the home country for a few months to change your way of thinking. Let's see if you can have 1/2 dozen beers and climb aboard your MB without the coppers bothering you, reasonable cost of living, bla bla bla but mostly the drinking and driving part. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, I made the move many years ago and never regret it, no more 90 days reports no renewing visas not paying a lot more than Thais do, not getting pointed at and jelled at Farang, Farang. Not getting ripped off at hospitals. Pending on your age free Medicare. Yeah, I know I'll get blasted for that again, but it is the truths. Most Farangs in Thailand are too scared to move back or can't afford it. I do live on the OAP in OZ (had my super paid out when moving to Thailand) Most things in the west are not that expansive (Apart from renting and buying houses) and of course if you are a beer drinker. The only places you should avoid are big cities. I do drink wine it cost me less than 300 baht per 4 litre box. I had my time in Thailand but still go to my old place over there ones or twice a year. (on my Ozzy pension) Good luck. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're going to give up your property, business and family because you're fed up. That's the spirit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernRyland Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, bob smith said: ive had enough of the racism, xenophobia and silly little games the locals love to play on us. those are easy to resolve by avoiding certain people. The big problems with Thailand are unavoidable but wanting to live in a normal country is a hard to argue against. I'd say go and save your sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
