I'm originally from the UK. I yearn for a pint of English real ale. That's the only thing I miss.

Probably my job, the most fulfilling experience in my life. Often think about going back for a few months a year just for the fun of it.

People acting in a safe and responsible way, thinking about the consequences of their actions.  Although, perhaps if that was common in Thailand, it might not be such a relaxed place.

The variety of good and not expensive cheese, wine, etc.

 

Some foods, favorite restaurants, & catching a baseball game once in awhile, along with actively still participating in a form of the sport - but that option went away with a hip replacement....

I go back before I miss it to much

What do you miss most about your home country after permanent move to Thailand? 

Nothing. 

 

Nothing comes to mind... so i willl say nothing.

The stars. Even in the countryside, there is too much haze.

Marks & Spencer ready meals, Pret a Manger, reasonably priced decent wine.

Long long walks / hikes admiring the beautiful English countryside, woodlands and hills without breaking into a sweat after a hundred meters.

Miss a decent library too. Decent sausage sandwich with Daddys sauce.

Some posts of a trolling nature and the inflammatory replies have been removed.

Roast beef and Rosella chutney. And roast potatoes with it.

 

 

The girls in Middlesbrough on a Saturday night…..they make these Thai girls look like double-baggers.

Besides good friends,

Back in the day, I struggled to walk 100 metres, but I’d cycle 100 km.  After the hip replacement, walking was a lot easier, but why bother? It takes too long.  

political correctness - thank god

Jersey Royal potatoes with English butter.

 

Also, I would like to take my dog for a walk in the park, or on a canal towpath, without being harassed by packs of strays.

Lack of superfluous paperwork, quality well priced beer/wine/groceries, silence. Can easily forego the above to avoid mind-numbing politics and unrelenting feminism/wokism.

Yes, not much that I can't source here, and make, so miss nothing from USA.   Even made Scrapple the other day, an Amish regional pork breakfast meat, hard to get, or used to be, in most of USA.  Most never heard it, outside Amish community (Lancaster / Philly for me) areas, till a conglomerate bought Hatfield's, and ruined the recipe.

 

Change of seasons, and fresh air a couple months of the year, is all I miss, and that's location dependent.  S. FL was same as here.  Memphis TN area, damn hot, and mild, little to no snow winter (boring).  Philly was nice, not too brutal in winter or summer.   Detroit had the Canadian winds & snow winter, and brutal the winter I worked there.  WV had nice weather & lots of fun snow.  NJ (Princeton) was OK, but still, it was NJ   ... crap surf.

 

Miss concerts & plays, but they were getting so silly priced, I stopped attending, last few years in USA.

I attended the HH Jazz festivals, till alcohol advertising was banned, and their budget plummeted.  1 stage down from 4 stages in the past.

 

Took the wife to see Clapton @ Impact, as everyone should see at least once ... price was eye watering.   Same with One Direction, as daughter had to see.

 

Last concerts I saw in USA were $50 & $60, and silly priced for at the time, 2000.

I just saw Pattaya Jazz festival ended this week, anybody been there? 

As some others mentioned, for me it would be live music, I revisited Wellington NZ in Feb/March 2022 and crammed in as many music venues as I could in those six weeks; no international superstars, just a good local music scene and see many old (and we're all older) familiar faces still there from many years ago

 

Second - a simple one, hills and trails. I trail run, mountainbike, no options for either where we live. Here I can cycle (road) 12km to two reasonable hills about 5 minutes each. The national mountainbiking event is on in Chanthaburi province this morning, but 70km north near Soi Dao. We both run 5/10km road events but I've never enjoyed road as much as trail.

 

But that's all outweighed by other events, activities and the climate, wouldn't ever consider changing back.

Nah.

 

But if plus sized, opinionated, feminist, entitled drinking, smoking, drugging, loud women with huge vaginas is your thing, then yes.
