Kadafi Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Because you don't get a letter in the post everyday saying you have been caught by a speed camera, in a bus lane, issued a parking fine, missed congestion charge payment and everything else that drains you of you hard earned money...

balo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 For me its the laidback attitude, less worries , the food, the smiles you never see back home, and ofcourse the climate , my health needs it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe' Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I like the timelessness of Thailand, and my life in that timelessness. However, if I were you, I would have changed my name before asking a question like that. Here in Thailand, particularly. Maybe you should add a picture, so people can see why you chose that particular name. i chose that name because when i set out on anything, i anticipate a happy ending regardless back to the topic ... beer in a supermarket cant get it my old country riding down the wrong side of the road at night no helmet, no light, no license and the bib waves and says hello where else but thailand $$$$$$$$$$$ You don't need a license, you need a psychiatrist. Back on topic; The food, the girls, the islands andmy nieces and nephews. Not necessarily in that order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The Beach The Smiles The Climate The food The scenery The People Watching the kids play The cost of living If you don't want to do something it is easy to get it done for a few baht. You can smile at someone and they don't think you are a pervert for doing so. Enjoying life. The lack of taxes. Good Medical. Inexpensive medical.

Who, me ? Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 almost everything, but mainly the attitude towards worries, the food, the easy access to food at any time, the markets, the cost of living, the scenery, ....... and the fact that I actually feel so much better than in my country of origin !

telaksslave Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 ok, a topic that looks on the bright side[whingers need not apply - save it for another topic] we are all here because thailand holds an interest of some sort so what is it? what do you like about this place ??? for me i like the way you can go to the markets or the beach leave everything in your bikes basket and when you come back - its all still there - including the bike i once saw money left in a bikes basket and no-one went near it wouldnt happen in most countries around the world a certain respect there over to you... PATTAYA - IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR haha u must b 1 of the many mugs who have came to pattaya and give ur ATM out on the dive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Loy Krathong, the most exciting festival week ever. Watching the monsoon clouds roll in at 4 PM almost everyday in season. Motorcycle riding up any mountain. Hilltribes and their colorful dress. Thai massage People mind their own business. A smile gets a smile back. No bulk mail Very short phone calls and the parking lot guys with the whistles Ya gotta luv em. All of the above too. Thailand is a mind trip for us. Please don't tell anyone, lets keep it our secret. Sawadee Kup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
