Cuban Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Issan Politics Exam Question: Q. If the blue party give you 400 Baht to vote for them and the orange party promises to give your family a cow if they win, who do you vote for? A. Take the money, chase the orange party for the promised cow regardless of the outcome because you will vote for your uncle anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be successful and happy as an expatriate it is important to recognise and accept that there are differences in the way of life between 'home' and a 'foreign' country. Study and research beforehand will be beneficial, but only time and the experience of living, working (or retiring) in one or more different countries will ensure settling into new environments and feeling almost 'at home' again. It is possible, usually after a period of adjustment. also understand that the things that you hate about Thailand are maybe someof the reason.s you stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 ...also understand that the things that you hate about Thailand are maybe someof the reason.s you stay Not sure you understand my POV, I eat the beef that arrives as an 'unrelated' gift from the relavent person in the village like the rest of the family in the weeks before elections, my wife get's her 'cut' of the voting money and few things change from one year to the next. On a small scale I consider it has little impact on my life. On a national scale, vote buying in the countryside has a huge effect on the nation as a whole - the election is bought, it's that simple. I expect your response to be if you don't like it...... how original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
