Just general negative about thais? They already manage the farm without us present. There is many Thai people who live decent lives, wake up 4 in the morning, and go to bed 8 in the evening. Do not drink or gamble. But I understand for some it is hard to grasp when only have experience from here, or their own relationships with gf, wife's and their families. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSD1 Posted Wednesday at 08:12 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:12 AM 3 minutes ago, Korat Kiwi said: Karachi in Pakistan Sounds like paradise: 1. Urban Infrastructure and Services: • Overcrowding: Karachi is densely populated, leading to strained infrastructure and public services. • Utilities: There are frequent shortages of electricity and water, and waste management systems are often inadequate. • Traffic Congestion: The city suffers from severe traffic congestion due to insufficient public transportation and poorly maintained roads. 2. Safety and Security: • Crime: Karachi has a history of high crime rates, including street crime, gang violence, and terrorism-related incidents. • Political and Sectarian Violence: Periodic outbreaks of political and sectarian violence further contribute to the city’s instability. 3. Economic Challenges: • Poverty: Despite being an economic hub, many residents live in poverty, with limited access to basic services and opportunities. • Unemployment: Job opportunities can be scarce, contributing to economic hardship for many residents. 4. Environmental Issues: • Pollution: Air and water pollution are major issues due to industrial activity, vehicular emissions, and lack of proper waste disposal. • Climate Resilience: The city’s infrastructure is often ill-equipped to handle natural disasters like floods, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. 5. Healthcare and Education: • Healthcare: Access to quality healthcare is limited, with public hospitals often underfunded and overcrowded. • Education: The quality of education varies widely, and many children do not have access to reliable schooling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have practiced this for years already, and have experience by living and working abroad. Have nothing to do being on a high horse. Managing with a western thinking, expectations, methods and solutions is the main problem for most who fail, but by experience and willing to adjust, you can make something that actually works and will be sustainable.
