Popular Post Berkshire Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not to be a smartass either, but you mentioned the word "meany" several times, including the thread title. Is this how they spell "many" in Australia? "Meany" just sounds like a person who's not so nice. But to your question, I've talked to many Englishmen in Thailand. In no particular order, they say their homeland is cold, bleak, over-regulated, expensive, and overrun by immigrants. I'm American, so I'm only speaking from comments that I've heard. And yes, I'm sure Thai women have something to do with this. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HeijoshinCool Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Those who move here full-time but don't get stuck here (by building a house, etc) usually end up going back home eventually. That's why you see so many TV members disappearing from the forum on an ongoing basis. That and Mr Toad annoys them. Then there are those who stay. They are stuck here, or they have nothing to go home to. Then there are the few who fit in with Thais, like it here, and stay here until they die. By the way, pay no attention to MrToad. He's a meany. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of,delicious fresh fruit and Veetables...., also love,Thai Vegetarian Food..... Yes Australia is nice, but for me it's just too far away from Europe...

In proper answer to the OPs question, Brits and English seem to travel a lot more than other nations. Probably an historical thing.

Popular Post chrisinth Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 OP, i feel it a bit strange that you comment on the number of Brits living in Thailand. Are you worried that in the long run that its going to turn out like Australia? After all, (modern) Australia was based on the influence of our exported examples of British culture. Give it a century and Bkk might remind you of Sydney....................... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
