MaiSonJai Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 So..how long have you all been living your dreams for? I actually never dreamed to come to Thailand. More like a nightmare. Too much traffic, too much pollution, too much of everything... After 7 years in Thailand, it is still not a dream. But going back to Europe would be a nightmare. The traffic in Bangkok is so much better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayenram Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Started coming here on business 10 years ago whilst w*rking in Malaysia. Retired here just a fraction over 5 years ago. Never looked back. A two week forced visit to Blighty recently reinforced my reasons for staying here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Chaos Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Posted here for work just over 2.5 years ago. At least another 2 to go .......... not that I'm planning on leaving just yet anyway ....... this is the first (and only) job I've ever had that I actually like!

kayo Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I arrived as a backpacker on the infamous 9/11, or 11/9 rather. Got bored of that and settled down straight away. Loved it here. Unfortunately just left due to extraneous circumstances. Now in Central America... Would do just about anything to get back home. (kanchanaburi) . So it was three years, but it will be forever if home really is where the heart is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Far too long. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Been coming here for over 11 years and lived here for about 7 of them including the last 3. Had to elsewhere in between for work but I am sort of retired unless somebody offers me a job. Married for the last 4 1/2 to the girl I met in a bar on my first visit 11 years ago, loved her then and still love her now, especially with the new ankle biter almost ready to crawl around. I live right out in the sticks where the weekly traffic jam is 2 minutes long on market day and the traffic lights have been set on warning mode for about 8 months I think. I love Thailand and though I have been back to the UK this year I would never consider living anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udon Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 PP I'd rather be in Klong Toey market than sharing a Doner Kebab here with the locals. I'll be speaking Arabic and Vietnamese if I stay too long. All the shop signs are in either Chinese or Vietnamese Grrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
