Crazy chef 1 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 it seems that the majority on our forum are coming from the UK. i know we are multi national here but I reckon other nationalities are a minority... is it due of the weather in the UK ( also quiet a lot of Aussies around- though not sure about it) or is it purely a language matter? in my area most expats are scandinavians and from german speaking countries... what do you think wich country of origin has the highest population here?

Popular Post ATF Posted November 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2014 Haven't you heard? Parts of England have been annexed by Pakistan or rather the Pakistani Muslims. There are now no go areas for Indigenous Brits. There are signs posted Whites cannot enter this area between certain hours. It's completely gone to the dogs a Frankenstein social experiment gone wrong. The Police actually support this behavior. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry123 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 It is an English language forum seeing that English language is the no 1 internationally used language it would be difficult to ascertain that the majority of members come from the u.k.

Popular Post siampolee Posted November 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2014 Personally I subscribe to the quote and ideals of Cecil Rhodes. Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life. That answers the question succinctly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KittenKong Posted November 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2014 The reason there are many Brits on this forum is because in spite of our collapsed economy and surveillance state we are still world champions in criticising and complaining (and queueing, which isn't relevant). I am proud to do my bit for my country in all three categories. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post neverdie Posted November 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) It started about 220 years ago. Groups of decent, hard working hi-so brits jumped onto ships and set sail for a better place, they sailed nearly the whole world round before the came across paradise, they went ashore and claimed it as 'Australia' (Sydney Cove to be precise). Back home, the lo-so Brits and common criminal got jealous when they saw the hi-so British counterparts post various pictures on their Facebook account & instantly became angry listing rumors and lies about the new land and it's people being convicts and the like. The Australians weren't to worried as they were the ones living in Gods Country and fought back with thousands of beautiful photographs on Instagram. A few years later, the Brits who were still trying to flee their shitehole of a country were unable to do so as the now Australians had shut their borders, with only the British cricket team allowed to enter once every two years to have their backsides kicked prior to being sent home looking like incompetent fools. Ever since the Aussies shut and bolted their gates, the Brits have flooded thru the rest of Australasia looking for better lands to escape to and Thailand is one of those places, through a lapse of better judgement allows the Brits to stay briefly....most likely because they feel sorry for them. .....and so history continues Edited November 23, 2014 by neverdie 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 i was mainly referring to ( it seems that the majority on our forum are coming from the UK.) One guide is the Visa Forum. You just need to look at the number of questions being asked by the members here about taking their Thai Partner to visit/relocate around the world. By far, the largest number is from the UK. Some from Europe. Less from Australia. Even Less from the USA. Occasional KIWI. A very rough guide .. but a guide, nonetheless. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy chef 1 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 we also got quiet a large number of Yanks here but the USA is just too big to assume it is about the weather.if from Boston or any northern states-yes. but from Florida,Texas or LA ??? my conclusion is the cost of living.... but what about Switzerland?.. though enough things to think about it! ...and it can't be just for the Ladies..

Popular Post MW72 Posted November 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm a Brit. Here are some of my reasons. The weather. The food. The countryside. The woman (singular my gf). The cost of living. I came a few years back for a friend's wedding and fell for the place. There are plenty of negatives like in any other place but at the moment the positives outweigh them.

If she gets it (and don't anticipate a reason why she won't), we would be disappointed if it wasn't issued by Songkran next year. It can take up to 12 months.
