Smurkster Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Unless one is really sure there is never anything in their homeland they are going to want again, then DON"T cut ties... I think a lot of us bitch about our country of origin, but at the end of the day, how real are these feelings? Sure I can talk trash about America and Americans and the system, but at the end of the day do I love it any less? No, it was the place that gave me opportunities, friendships and stability and without it, I wouldn't be able to do what I am doing in Thailand today... Same goes for every country, I doubt many of us would be able to do our "Thailand Thing" if it wasn't for our Native Lands...I had to remind this to a English man yesterday who wouldn't stop ranting about how terrible it how Thailand was so much better I asked him "So your retirement pension, that's really awful isn't it" he got my drift and stopped his rant P.S. I'd love to see Scotland gain Independence or for that matter Wales and Northern Ireland once again become part of Ireland. But it's not really practical and I think that if Scotland does become its own country, they will soon find out that they would rather be part of the union again, just my yankee two cents Edited March 15, 2014 by Smurkster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Nixon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 If you cannot become a Thai citizen or a landed immigrant, you can never burn that final bridge. You are here at the pleasure of the people of Thailand and can be asked to leave at any time. So you should as a citizen of your home country, never try to destroy a bridge you may need in the future. The final bridge as you call it would be your passport. If you are fortunate enough to get permanent residency, you are still in the same boat but you have a few more privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take my chances here any day of the week. I can become a Thai Citizen if I want to. But why would I want to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
