British Expat Finds Bliss in Thai Paradise, Won’t Return Home

[Sigmund]

Obviously she is not in Hua HIn where falangs are cheated from almost anything to everything, mainly when in comes to full house cleaning services, most upgrade works around the house, general maintenance and so on...

Depends on how you look in a bikini.

The Bugs Bunny front teeth look a bit daunting and it ain't that 'lovely' to look at either!

The pose of the legs protruding towards the camera remind me of a FB meme:

 

Delivery guy:          Just delivering this bouquet of flowers - they appear to be from your boyfriend, Ma'am

Shapely blonde:    I suppose I'll have my legs up in the air all weekend then.

Delivery Guy:         Why? don't you have a vase?

I always get cheated on the full service Massage. I never get the full 60 minutes.

Well Peter Pedersen proposed a five-stage model, adding an extra stage:

She's not British with the name Claudia.

People actually think she looks great?  Tall, no hips, no top, muscular.  Looks oddly like man/ladies I see on Beach Road. Sorry.

Nasty?

Though it should be patently obvious what my sarcastic post was about, I'll spell it in detail in case the original guy who dissed the woman for employing cleaners comes back.

 

That guy is looking down on Thais whose vocation is a cleaner. I doubt he would disparage Claudia if she went to a hospital to look after an illness or injury. Apparently being a physician is an approved vocation, whereas being a cleaner or cook is not, and anyone who employs one is guilty of exploitation. I'm of the belief that both the physician and the cleaner enjoy being paid for their labor.

 

Claudia is thus not a drain on Thai society, but rather is adding value that otherwise might not be there. Everybody wins.

I'm here for more than 30 years and have no intention to return home.

Unfortunately I don't have a tiktok or youtube channel, but can I have my frontpage story anyway?

to be on the front page you need to show some "skin" 555

Probably the same as the latest influx of Brits...she will be claiming some benefits somehow or other and not paying tax on their buy to let's...that will all be coming to an end very shortly 

What benefits can she be claiming in Thailand, just asking 

[Denim]

This month....living the life.

 

Next month .....go fund me.

[jas007]

For the most part, "influencers" cone and go.  I've almost lost track of how many I followed on YouTube, only to see them disappear after a while. I suppose when they fail to make much money online, they finally give up.  Still, they tried.  I don't see the harm.

This story is nothing but another taxi driver finds a wallet and returns it….a PR story due to build up a fragile self image 

 

pros and cons to both countries….she just increased her chances of dying in a traffic accident exponentially especially on a Thai island

You're right there's nothing wrong with asking, that's why I asked.   How is anyone ever going to know the answer to the visa question, though?

 

no lou, you asked this question because you are a divisive knit picker who is always trying to annoy anyone whop expresses an opinion. Honestly, I have never seen you put up an opinion unless it is to put someone down.

never say never it has a way of coming back to bite you on the ar*e

She'll be gone before the digital ink dries.

[Sir Dude]

So, she's been here less than two years. Thailand is a great place to be and hang-out, but it's about longevity... not a brief stay. I would like to hear from her after she has managed 15-20 years and all the BS she's had to deal with.

However, if she marries a Thai guy, then they will role out the red carpet for her and she'll get citizenship in a flash... as we all know the disparity in marriage depending on which sex you are when you get married here.

However, this article is a nice puff feel-good read for those who know Sweet FA about anything.

She's happy. Most on here are miserable sods.

What Thai visa is she on?

 

Unless rich with an elite visa or what ever they call them now, it's a 2 year ed visa or one of these digital nomad visas (layabouts with a laptop) 5 years in and out. Not up to her how long she can stay, up to immigration. She needs to go home get a job and pay off her student loan. These people are always giving others the impression you can just get a one way flight and move to Thailand for as long as you like.

What the f is a 'social media strategist' ?

how is she sustaining her lifestyle

Good question. She's only telling what she likes to tell us.

How she's earning money and honey is still her secret.

Maybe she got a night shift job? As many girls?
