Really, Why Did You Come To Live In Thailand ?

[Gweiloman]

Tommo, go back and search my posts dating months ago.

...............

5) I don't drink or visit go go bars (had this discussion with you several times)

Please feel free to check previous posts to verify all of this information.

Clearly it is beyond your comprehension that a person can spend time in Thailand without spending their days hunkered over a bar stool in a go-go bar?

(*If your scratching your head at this post, TommoPhycisist is angry because some other TV members don't hang out with hookers. Useless spillover from another thread)

And if you had read my previous posts, you would know I don't drink alcohol or hang around in bars either. Can't deny the hooker bit though, my sister-in-law (hooker) often comes to stay, I wish she didn't, but not my call.

This the same sister your wife wants you to marry?

Came here to retire get a better way of life. Cost of living sucks in Australia , no family so free to go anywhere.

Murder rate would have put me off.Murder rate would have put me off.

After the two years, sorted myself out and moved up-country with my wife (not BG)

Why did you mention that your wife's not a bar girl?

My wife is not a BG either.

Just thought i'd throw that out there.

Anybody's wife is B&G? (beautiful and gorgeous). Other than omnilangur's, that is

I don't have one so technically me neither.

[chiangmaikelly]

Why does anything think it is necessary to post that you don't have a BG?

Don't let your mind overload your capabilities.

Yeah, Dorothy, but this ain't Texas

This is a recording...

[chiangmaikelly]

Texas is a lot bigger and so are the women but outside of that it is real close. Oh and the food is a bit different.

Everytime I left Thailand I suffered from the Airport Blues,sitting at Suvarnabhumi in a deep depression,trying hard not to think about how I'd be back in the West in 12 hours or so.

At least I was going back to the Mediterranean,my friends were going back to the UK,I was lucky!

Anyway,I fixed the problem,I stayed!

[phuturatica]

I mainly came to Thailand because I wanted to do something with my life and I was feel uninspired in the UK.

I moved here when I was 23 years old.

[chrisinth]

I figured I'd be let go at the job cos I'd just lost interest in the whole corporate bullshit machine and the drudgery of the Central Line crush from Holland Park to Bank stations every morning. I jumped before being pushed, sold the flat, invested the profits and left.

Having never been to Thailand before, I had no intention of staying but the cost of living in Bangkok - even a Western lifestyle - was (and remains) considerably cheaper than my corner of West London and the local food was cheap and plentiful, I decided to hang on for a bit.

The women - well, the majority of those available to foreigners - were not part of the decision to stay.

I've had no shortage of female attention or company in any country.

Interesting. But why Bangkok and not, say, Mexico City?

I put that in as an after thought (actually edited to include), I think as a note to self that it could have been very different at some stages of my earlier experiences.

It certainly wasn't put in as an insult to BG's; I have absolutely nothing against them. If that has caused offence to anyone, my apols.

In fact, I think I know/knew more BG's that I could take at face value than the majority of idiots I have met over the last couple of days!

Do you mean met on this forum, LOL?

[watcharacters]

Because I couldn't afford 10k baht for a shag/screw.

You can't be that ugly, surely. ...............................

YOu must be married. 555

[NeverSure]

I was about to say that I've never paid a dime for a shag, but oops. I was married.

[kblaze]

came here about 6 months after univ graduation, just turned 23, friend informed me that the company we were teaching for at the time had positions open in BKK, so in the pursuit of adventure and the unknown, i went for it!

I never did either. A dime, wow. That was my great, great grandfather.

20 years is a long time doll

but what about your golden years - your retirement? Is your position providing for pension? Are you socking it away yourself? Or are you just figuring on working until you drop age 80 or whatever?

[Jingthing]

How many (normal) people are worrying about retirement in their early 20's?

"Socking it away" at the moment, only upper-level positions offer pension packages, so hoping to work my way up. Working until 80? No, I hope not.

[Theoutsider]

Yeah, why DID I come to live in Thailand?

Come on tell us, really.

Are you sure, don't lie.

I am here for the temples.

Na, I lied I'm still here in Blighty. It's cold and dark. Haven't see blue sky today.

[Nick in Thailand]

I just lost a job back home and always wanted to work abroad. Since I just had turned 40, it was a "now or never"- decission. I work in tourism, have been to Thailand before (many times) on holiday and was interested in a new and different culture. Hell....I sure got that!

I'll bet you're a liner.

[mrtoad]

Been in the UK with my Thai Girlfriend for a year, decided that needed a break from work so took an unpaid year out from my job, with an option to return. Now in my 8th year, settled , good job, good friends and a lot to look forward to.
