...or else we would have bugger all to whine about.

Actually, the usual suspects would be whining that LOS was just as bad as the ****hole they escaped from.

I was actually in BUNNINGS in Australia the other day ,compare it to Home Depot in Thailand 

I couldn't find ANY staff , suddenly I wished I was in Thailand 

I had to go looking for staff to do a door measure 

I found one old bloke in the corner looking at his phone 

It was old ROO , he looked up at me annoyed I bothered him , "yeah mate what's up !.

I said to him "don't be so despicable!

We have Bunnings in NZ too and same problem. Never any staff when one wants them, and then only one or two staff on checkout.

Typical farang arrogant thinking that they are better than Thais. It's like western countries are perfect, when they are just as backward as Thailand in many aspects. People complain about the school system in Thailand when western teaching is rubbish for the average pupil.

Western countries are just as bad as LOS when it comes to violence and crime.

 

Tell me this, if west is best, why are so many westerners wanting to live in LOS?

IMO the west sucks, and Thailand, for all it's problems is way ahead of the west. in so many things.

Of course the poor suffer, as they do in every country including the west, but how many hiso Thais are wanting to live in the west? If west was best all the rich Thais would be living there, but they ain't.

 

Of course poor Thais want to live in the west, because they see western tourists and think everyone in the west gets to live like that, which is far from the truth.

Nothing to do with being better. More educated, better technology, and further ahead in thinking because of it. Look around and see how things are run here. The corruption is much higher, the justice system is decades behind in their thinking. Law enforcement is lacking. The road department is unskilled.

 

People come here for the women. If that wasn't there, they would come to visit , see the sights and leave. Some might stay because things are cheaper, meaning the cost of living. The majority wouldn't.  Thailand is far behind in every facet. You never lived in the US, so all you go by is what you see on videos . Hiso Thais stay here because they have a lot of money to get whatever they want. That makes any place a lot easier to live. Thousands of rich Asians live in the west. Thousands of those just getting by do also. It's a much better way of life.

 

Western schools are the best worldwide. Local schools here, besides the international ones, pale by comparison. Safety for children is severely lacking, as up to 70% of female students are molested by the time they're 17. In the US it's 11%, which is another huge reason I will leave with my daughter. Prospects for the average person here are nil.  Lack of care...........
