Thaivisa Forum Is A Mystery

[mingalaba]

It´s really puzzling, the vast majority of the members of Thaivisa seem to hate Thailand with a passion. Constantly whining about how things are better in their home country and criticizing the way things are done in Thailand. Almost every aspect of Thailand seems to be horrible according to them. Yet, the same people still seem to remain in Thailand. How is this possible? If people hate the place so much they could just go back to their home country. So what is it that makes them stay? And why did they settle in Thailand in the first place if they want things to be like in the US, UK, Europe or wherever their home country is?

So you think the police are better in Thailand.

So you think the government schools are better in Thailand.

Where is it you said you come from?

[White Christmas13]

I guess you don't live in Thailand or not for very long oh I can't get the smilies working

[mingalaba]

No I don´t live in Thailand and I am not planning to live in Thailand either.

Just common sense... Moving to a new country, hating everything, yet not going back to the home country. Seems irrational to a neutral observer.

I haven't seen many people who live here 'hating everything'.

Can you list these forum members by name, or are you just wildly exaggerating?

Most men love the cheap women and warm weather ...... does anyone need any other 'likes' to be here?

This topic will probably not last too long , but I will note that since the dawn of time, humans have made an effort to improve on their lot in the animal world, of survial of the strongest/ meanest. When this is no longer a part of our make up, we will sink to the bottom or to the same level as those that we have tried to raise above.

I think many are not comparing to their home country, rather than pointing out the mistakes, that they have experienced there and giving some input on what the potential pitfalls can be.

Thailand used to be a great place to holiday, not such a great place to live.

To be honest if I didn't have a family here, I would be off.

The constant noise, pollution, terrible drivers, inconsideration and selfishness wears away the rose tinted specs in the end.

You really have no right to comment unless you know the setup, he hurdles, the corruption, WHICH believe me takes years to collate.

I am exaggerating. Still the majority of threads is full of criticism, very little praise. Gives a clear picture of people who are unhappy about the country they are living in. Seems like people want the advantages of living in a country without being able to deal with its drawbacks. Maybe people on here are just whiny but it seems quite weird that people move to another country just to then complain that things aren´t the same as back home.

Oh ... if only my birth country was more like Thailand, it would be such a happier and more fun place to live.

Anyone who owns some land there in Thailand please post me a wee sample of the sweet soil ...

Doesn't everyone want that?

I place cheap women & accommodation, good weather and no taxes as overwhelming advantages.

(In fact any two of those four would do it for me)

I reserve the right to complain about the minor negative stuff.

[rattler]

There's a difference between hating Thai people and hating Thailand.

[Tywais]

I don't know which is worse - people complaining about Thailand or people complaining about members complaining about Thailand.

Personally, I have nothing to complain about.

You praise the fact that taxes are low, yet you complain about bad government schools and bad police. You do realise that the schools in your home country are only of good quality because there is a lot of tax money that can be spent? As I said puzzling...

The police ...... I like to bribe my way out of trouble same as every wealthy Thai.

Thai school system ..... excellent for producing obedient and compliant citizens.

That WOULD be very puzzling if it was even remotely the truth. But it's not remotely the truth. Cheers.

They may not be the vast majority, or the majority at all for that matter, but they are certainly vocal enough about it that it can seem so at times.

Complaining about people complaining is like yelling at a barking dog...

[StreetCowboy]

Why do the vast majority of posters on this forum complain about whinging?

You'd think if they didn't like it that much they'd find another forum to read.

Personally, I think that there are quite a wide range of opinions on this forum about most things, and indeed it is that diversity that makes the forum interesting, and also makes it quite a challenge for the moderators. If we all had common opinions, it would be a dull place, but with little argument

Yerdedonthair,bytheway Cowboy!

no he's no'

[Swiss1960]

There's a difference between hating Thai people and hating Thailand.

Even more: there is a difference between hating and complaining

[Semper]

I like Thailand.

LOL. He'll also never get it because Customs in his country will confiscate and burn it.

On the other hand, Thai authorities would let him receive it but only after he'd paid the hefty duties.

Sorry OP, is that complaining about Thailand?

[krisb]

I like Thailand.

I agree with Semper. Great place on planet Earth.

I also agree with the op. Its quite sad and pathetic. Funnily enough they even do it when confronted with the question!

Ooowww, you could be mistaken for thinking it sometimes. I admit it I cant help but stir them up every now and then. I think its therapeutic for them and they also enjoy the good whinge. Edited February 1, 2013 by krisb
