its not my fault that most tourists are blind and clueless to the truth!

 

Eric.

Again, tourists don't come here seeking the ''truth'' they come for fun and there's plenty of it around.

  • We understand that you dislike Thailand. Please feel free to leave.

  • Amazes me that people judge an entire country on the few square km they choose to inhabit occasionally.

    Everyone has choices, if you cannot cope with the rules, regulations, climate of Thailand, leave, personally, I love it here.

Because of the beautiful, kind, honest, wonderful Thai people and their beautiful culture and country.

In fact, the great diversity available in Thailand is one of its fundamental attractions.

 

There seems to be a high-degree of acceptance for diversity here, which is part of the culture.

 

It might be difficult to find a better place to live, in 2025.

Sunshine and palm trees. Oh and my wife lives here.  Easier for me to get a visa here than for her to get a visa there.

Sunshine and palm trees, we have where I live, yes, the only reason I travel to Thailand twice a year is that my Thai wife still has relatives in Thailand.
