bangkokblue Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Many have chosen the LOS to be their ideal destination long and short term for one reason or another, so in the interest of newbie's to this amazing kingdom it would be i'm sure of interest to all in sharing your reason. Since my first visit back in 1969 obviously i've seen much change, today's Thailand reminding me of the singapore's of yesterday and no doubt it will go that way, However, there still remains that magnetic pull despite a few negative points, so what are your 'positive 'thoughts.

Guest IT Manager Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Sitting down with my freinds and discussing whether we should barbeque Nui's dog which ate 2 new chickens and then deciding not to, because it is a puppy and doesn't know, then deciding to bbq its' mother for not teaching it properly. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Well...it sure is a vibrant and exciting place to be. One is never left with nothing to do. Hills, beaches are a short flight away, and there's nothing wrong with beer Chang either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Now we understand at least one of the reasons you propose to retire in the L O S. Watch something growing from your balcony, ice box within hands reach. Surin Province awaits you. Believe it or not, you can buy beer Chang there too.

dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Tell 'em your motto is ' Make your politician work. Don't re-elect him. Then head for that mango tree, the beer Chang, the parliamentary pension. It is a hard life, but someone has to do it ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomy Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 today's Thailand reminding me of the singapore's of yesterday how the hel1 did you figure that, Thailand is nothing alike Singapore, thailand is a place of beauty, natural beaches,gentle people and many many more. Singapore is a dam-n rock, with nothing, the people are conceded up the ying-yang, oh! did i say they smell bad too. Met my girl in college back in the state, we grad. , have good job, was about to get a good raise, planning to buy a house, life was good, suddenly bada-bang bada-boom (her side) family medical problem, gotta head back to thailand ASAP, not that her family is poor or anything, when a family member is sick you gotta go back ASAP no question ask, as for me stuck in bangkok for awhile, a long while lol, fuk i wanna go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Mist Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 prefer heineken (or VB if available) chang gives me a rotton headache, it is cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufkenmill Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Beer Chiang is no reason to move to Thailand much less live here. You can get it in the states if you really want it there, costs a little more but none the less.... Does anyone have a real reason of why they're living here besides cheap beer?

bangkokblue Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thank's for the feedback guy's, it certainly gives the impression expat life is just one big beer guzzling experience with the exception of a couple of home truths. For me the mix of buddhism and democracy is the ideal chill out, add to that a beer or two...... dee-jai mahk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 ask a serious question and you get beer me, I live 5 feet from the beach on an island, except for the rainy season downpours not much to complain about really. we own our own business, own our own house, vehicle, etc. not too bad. we started out in the US when we first got married but my husband is an ocean person and my family lives in the mtns. brr... never liked the cold myself. so, since i don't drink beer (chang ugh) I guess I 'd have to say, the lifestyle is good.

Kan Win Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 SBK, Nice post..... Each to it’s own. Life must be a beach for you then LOL. I live 15 feet from a river bank in Kan. --------------------------------- Beer Sing, Beer Thai for me. Beer cells are kicking in now. No Brain cells left at this time of the day.
