Are You Never Tired From Your Thai Life?

Recommended Posts

Please first to answer say your birthplace-age-years in the LOS-actually married or not (ex. Italy-31-0-not married).

I know many italian people who live in Thailand from years, Phuket specially, but they seem always unhappy from their life even if they have everything (good health, good job, no money problems, wife, childrens...), is an human being matter because if you have everything you look always for something more or something else? :D

They don't miss their birthplace (Italy) but they act as permanent unhappy, may be when they have everything they overstimate little problems, but I think there is something more.

What's your opinion?

Can you post something about that? :o

You never ask a lady her age ;, been here nearly 17 years and married for 16.

I suspect Italians are lonely in Thailand for the same reason many Thais are lonely when they move overseas: they are lacking the strong family ties and supports that they get back home.

Sometimes I get tired of life here, it can be very boring on this island (been there done that a million and one times) but mostly I appreciate my life, I have a nice place and a wonderful husband. What more could I ask for (ok lots of money would be nice :o )

I've known guys who've decided to live here after coming for a few holidays but once they settle down and the holiday mode is over, they don't seem to be too happy anymore. Maybe they were miserable tw@ts back home too, who knows.

A few guys have got bored after about 6 months and simply realised that Thailand isn't for them and have looked for something better. Probably for them it was fortunate that they didn't get dragged into a quotidian life-style that I've noticed some others tend to get stuck in.

Maybe some just don't simply appreciate just how good they've got it. There could be numerous reasons why they're miserable; bored, complacentcy, stressed out etc.

My guess is only as good as anyone elses.

I'm happy with what I've got. When I feel bored with something, I do something about it. Simple. So most days are still like a holiday for me and I try to avoid stressful situations as much as possible. If I can, I'll vary my routine whenever possible.

May be there is something of that (italians live long with their parents until 30 or more).

Don't you think that an expat life far from your birthplace doesn't stimulate your potentiality to build something for yourself and for the community?

In other words does your private heaven satisfy your ego after the first time? or does it become an easy way to be far from everything you don't like?

Like a giving up from something you cannot fight. :o

UK (English) - 57 - 3, married to a lovely Thai wife with 4 month old daughter. Love Thailand to bits even if the odd quirk of the Country and People gets under my skin from time to time. Can't think of anywhere better that I would rather live. And, before you ask, and as my nickname suggests, I have travelled and seen quite a bit of this world, far more than most and that is for sure. :o

Japan(and Thai)/39/25 yrs/married.

Same as terdsak_12, wanna live outside Thailand again for a change but nowhere else to go. Recently I find myself complaining about Thailand and Thai people all the time. :o But I know I'll find myself missing Thailand very much once I settle in another country (just as I did before).

30 -Thai/Chinese from the US- married; living here for 8 years now.

Don't miss "home" because I consider both places home (spend 1-2 months a year back in Texas; the rest here with about a month of travel time therein). I think that's the key to balance and really enjoying the LOS and life in general. I can totally understand how a 365 day a year Thailand lifestyle can skew one's perspective a bit. Go home once in awhile, see your childhood/college/etc. friends and relatives, go out to the bars/restaurants you used to go to, jetski/waterski on a familiar lake... it's a good feeling to be able to get off the plane in more than one place and feel refreshed to be "home."
