Crikey..... Well done, you've just described 90% of the female population back home. 👍

 

The huge vaginas are plentiful 😮

 

Good Mexican food.

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

I went to a couple music festivals at Patts. years past ... way too crowded for me.   People wise, and driving to/from if not well planned.   Gridlock can be an understatement.

1) I do not have Thai Citizenship or PR so my stay is not permanent.  I could leave tomorrow or be asked to leave. I do not have complete control as to how long I stay in LOS. Therefore, I am guest at the discretion of the Thai Government.

2) I miss cheap wine and lower price for olive oil. In my old neighborhood there is a marked called Trader Joe's and they have a wine brand named Charles Shaw  It used to $1.99 a bottle and now it is $2.99 a bottle.  This wine is actually pretty good.  Also, a large bottle of olive is about $7.

3) I miss the best burger that I have ever had at In N Out. 

4) I also miss actually walking on a sidewalk and not have to be concerned about stepping in a hole or even have some guy on a moped riding up from behind.

5) I never thought  I would miss this but when I went to my usual places for years I would actually be asked "Hi, welcome and do you want to the usual?".

Hopefully I will be there in  a couple months.  They have a location very clost to LAX. 

1. Groceries: just endless options for anything.
2. Good roads + people that know how to drive.
3. Knowing that a law is a law or a rule is a rule, clear requirements, knowing that if you call police / ambulance they help you within 10 minutes for sure. If having a heart attack the chance to die here is like 7 times higher for sure as of the delay in medical assistance alone. Same for general accidents.
4. If taxes would become based on global income; good free education, healthcare options, social retirement plans etc etc. (if not then its also an obvious exit).

Never had, if referring to 'in/out'.   It's a burger, and yet to have one better than our homemade burgers, at fraction of the cost.   250-500 baht for a burger is damn silly.

Good thing to arrive a few days before, and leave a few days after, and also find a hotel close by.

 

edit note: with parking

The Four seasons 

 

Here you go

running and cycling in cool weather, and not needing to deal with loose dogs on the way.

I moss people that are now dead, but I guess I couldn't fix that by going back. 

 

Otherwise?  I sometimes miss the 4 seasons. although trying to drive anywhere in the snow wasn't much fun.

On that I agree 100%. The worst flight I ever made was the one taking me away from paradise permanently. I had no reason to relish going home, and I have no reason to change that opinion years later.

With all that I'm surprised you are not living there instead of "inferior" Thailand.

You seem to have an extraneous intrusion into your photo, but from what I can see of it, what on earth is that all over your chips?

For those that don't know what chips are they might know "french fries".

True bakery buttermilk doughnuts.

Denny's/ihop.

Restaurants where everyone's meal arrives at the same time.

Bicycle riding on well-maintained roads, no soi beasts, generally safety.

Burger King breakfasts.

4 seasons,a little snow, not so much rain. Huge variety of food from all over the world--some of the best pizza, burgers, BBQ, seafood variety, especially seeing you can't find much of anything here in the country, peaches, nectarines, safer driving, hunting, better variety of and better fishing, a place where life is more precious, concerts with the best music, neighbors who don't steal and poison your pets, garbage trucks that pick up your garbage weekly (none here where I live), a school where your child actually learns, decent non expensive wine.

With that opinion you should have gotten out much more. Nowhere near that percentage

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

If that's what you made company with, it surely would skew your opinion.

Junk food, cheap wine, snow, mass shootings, fentanyl and the most obese white women in the world.

No thanks.

Some of the best restaurants and chefs worldwide, fantastic wine areas and wine stores, snow for skiing, sleigh riding and hunting, mass shootings yes, just like here, and fentanyl, which is a big problem, like yaba is here and everywhere else., along with thousands of gorgeous women who aren't just there for the gold in your hands.Always best to actually visit a country before you judge it.

Where are you from??  UK has a major pothole issue - many motorways enduring delays -too many "Woke laws/rules" - Hospital treatment/ambulance wait times excessive - Teachers leaving in droves - really which perfect country are you from?

You suckers have to pay Alimony for years after getting your sorry asses dumped.

The Thai system is so much better, gold diggers are discarded. You obviously don’t know how divorce law works here. 

 

I thought you had a Thai woman? Sad that she is only there for your money, but not surprising.
