Yeah, I got out last year.

I find the people much nicer in Thailand if you have money. There is a lot of jealousy in the UK. It is quite nasty.

 

Here it seems to get me a lot of respect. 
Definitely a big difference in mentality.

A lot of people act nice if they think they are getting something from someone, which is a huge reason you see locals smiling at foreigners.

I'm sure taxes are a factor, but I also think it's just the low quality of life that is driving people out. More than likely the same applies to America which has been declining for a very, very long time. 

But people are still moving to the US every day, as many things aren't declining and the US has everything any other country has with more freedom.

Please discuss the topic which is about the UK, not Phuket or the US:

 

Britain is poised to lose a record 16,500 millionaires in 2025

Don't say they weren't warned! The whole of continental Europe is only one hour away. Why the f£ck would anyone stay in the grim, overpriced, overpopulated with Muslims, and bullying police. I ain't a millionaire but I got out. The loss of the millionaires is an incredible loss of income for our nation.  LABOUR JUST DID IT FOR SPITE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES.

Sorry, this is wildly misreported nonsense. There has actually been research in to how often "millions fleeing the UK" or similar articles have been published in certain press vs how many millionaires have actually left.

Here's a clue: the answer to the first part is 10,900 news items in 2024 alone. The answer to the second part is hardly any. There is no exodus. There will be no exodus.

Read an impartial report - with evidence in it - and come back to me. Here's one to get you going:

True dat.! In the UK people don't even bother pretending. The fabric of society is renting asunder.

It ain't necessarily so. They smile at each not just 'foreigners'. If you go very far north east the Thais smile at each other. The premise you suggest is wrong and feels like it founded in bitterness & disappointment.  Perhaps YOU WERE EXPECTING something & when you didn't get it you projected your disappointment on to the Thais with a snide comment.

I didn't say all. I see smiles all the time, especially from locals that know me in my village. Some are genuinely curious or nice people, who smile because of their attitude towards others. I never make any snide comments towards locals, as I'm not prejudiced in any way and am okay with all peoples.  The only one I've ever had trouble with is my ex. The thing is ,you never know what's behind anyone's smile if you don't know them. That isn't limited to here.

Thanks for your erudite contribution.

Not really.

 

But allow me to anyway.

 

Chronic housing shortages.

Pathetic public services. 

A lying PM who seems determined to harm the country as much as possible.

A terrible state education system put under extra strain by Labour putting VAT on private schools.

Rubbish internet. 

A state run left wing broadcaster pumping out propaganda that the public are extorted to pay for. 

A completely biased, bullying police force that police based on their bosses political leanings.

A capital city which has Sadiq Khan as Mayor.

Net Zero folly creating some of the highest energy prices in the world.

 

But hey, who needs them nasty, stinking millionaires propping up the place? 😄

But sorry.

Well I'll have you know these are all highly skilled and experienced electrical engineers, brain surgeons, doctors, architects etc.

 

They were going to fly first class but adventure tourism is all the rage now. 

 

They'll be saving us from ourselves in no time.

Rachel from accounts with her fake CV and her budget for recession is driving wealth out of the country.

 

The politics of envy, combined with financial illiteracy is a very poor combination that will see Britain's economy circle further down the toilet.

 

But hey, at least we can replace the 16,500 millionaires with many times that number of cultural enriching "doctors and engineers" coming over on the dinghys and living free in our hotels (but only until they can land their first job as brain surgeon or rocket scientist).  

 

 

I can't believe that you got 5 thumbs down for that accurate post.

 

Speaking to UK relatives and friends in £100k p.a. jobs and they are saying that it is not just the millionaires, but also other decent wealth creators who are looking elsewhere.

 

Farage must be peeing himself with laughter as the door for him to become the next prime minister opens wider and wider. With Bransonesque opportunism he will latch onto this information,
