bentarm44 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 When I came here in 2006, I would have definitely described Thailand as a "can do" country. Now, I recon it's the opposite; for whatever reasons. Do you agree; or not? On sort of the same topic, I was talking to an old Phuket mate recently about this; and he said the 2 things that were almost the same cost (inflation adjusted) as 8 years ago were whacky baccy and fast love. I think he's probably right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Quote "Do you agree; or not?" yes, I agree with you........8 years ago probably you could do it more often and had no problems in that department, now age is creeping up with you, as with most of us, and you find it more and more difficult to do it. Thailand hasn't changed.........you have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I believe it still is - someone that has the drive and ambition to succeed can still do it - it's a rags to riches country as opposed to an over regulated country that has to support the ungainly weight of "government" cost/license/intervention just to get a business started..... There is a reason Thai's and other ethinic groups go on to do better than well in other countries - 1- Where they got their start and the freedom to do so....2- the children are not taught in school to get a job and work for someone else that is already successful....I see many learning free enterprise from an early age....glamorous = no ......... a good education in life and the pursuit of success = yes....... Forget the cig costs...the other I like..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
