Hans Brix Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm here cause I found a nice sweet lady and I can't bear to be away from her. What's your real reason. Be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) Drugs and cheap booze to be honest, then nice weather/beaches and food, with cheap prostitutes and Budhhism in the equation too. Then I met a nice sweet lady too and gave up all the above, except the beaches and food. Edited August 23, 2005 by Neeranam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackula Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I came over with my (then) fiancee (Thai). We had met in Oman where we worked in the same hotel. We have split after 6 yrs married so now I guess I am just here for work. Don't have any plans on leaving anytime soon tho', having worked all over Asia and the Middle East I can say that I far prefer living in LOS to any other place.

thedude Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The beautiful thai women. Okay okay i'll come clean. I came for the job. I love my job because it gives me money and power and a twisted sense of self importance. The women are only a decoy so people think i'm normal.

jayenram Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Originally came on business, about 20 times/year (from KL). Retired and decided to live here with my then wife because it was cheaper to live here than UK or Malaysia. Then fell in love with the place.

For those interested, the "Ideals" I am talking about is the family first, the respect for the elders (Things we left behind long ago). The lifestyle is what I love about my life in Thailand, the relaxed homelife etc etc. Lets keep it positive if we can please folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteShiva Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Mainly becasue of the fabulous cross-country skiing, the peace and tranquility you find everywhere, and the fact that everybody speaks Norwegian here! Oh yeah - there was something about a job - and I have spotted a woman and some very small people living in my house as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Maiden Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm here because I have family in Thailand annd I didn't really like doing my A levels, don't think they were for me. I had a great time studying (or my lack of it) got some good grades this year but I don't really want a future career in Psychology or English lang and lit. Fresh start maybe?
