Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
In terms of politics and law enforcement, mostly due to the lack of transparency. In terms of their industries, lacking the ability of "value adding". Thailand is known to be caught up in the state of "middle income trap". Showed some remarkable "development" since 1990s. However, it was mostly done by the external inputs alone; by technology transfer(foreign manufacturers built factories here. and built up of infrastructures by foreign firms). Almost none attained by themselves. On the other hand, remaining in the status of the 3rd World won't really be that bad. Because of that, Thailand only has to pay a lot lower license fee for the local production of the generic medicines. That is why over the counter doses are often quite inexpensive here. And that way, expats like us are also its beneficiaries. So better not to complain, be thankful instead. -

Has Thailand Long Surpassed the West in Terms of Quality of Life?
Anywhere is nice if you're rich - and in Thailand, most (let's say 90%) of us are "rich"... or "rich enough". If you have a million baht in Thailand you'd need ten in the West - but your life would be the same. If you refuse to believe that, try explaining how great the quality of life in Thailand is to a dirt farmer living in a dirt floored house. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
"You can have what is now Phuket jamesphuket10" Thanks, it is a great place to be if one can afford to buy a nice house in many of the unseen nice areas. I can imagine it is not nice to live in very busy areas such as Patong, I can't understand why so many tourists go there and then imagine the rest of Phuket is like that, but that area is far from me and also away from the type of tourists who want to go to Patong. Many tourists miss out on the splendours of Phuket, they ignore the 543 square kilometers of this island and instead, visit the few square kilometers of Patong.
