January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post They got tired of their, cold, damp, foggy little island with plump white women. Wouldn't you?
January 10, 201511 yr You ever see English women? Over 35? I know some over 35 but under 40 and yes, gorgeous and intelligent and kind and funny. My favourite is a blonde chartered geologist from Newcastle. . How much does it cost to charter her for an entire weekend? God bless her and all who sail in her.
January 10, 201511 yr Born in Australia? Seems you have a good command of Australian English for someone born there.
January 10, 201511 yr 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. Building a house doesn't mean your stuck here
January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Another question could be . Why are there so many Union Jacks in the corner of other countries flags ?
January 10, 201511 yr Another question could be . Why are there so many Union Jacks in the corner of other countries flags ? Excellent point
January 10, 201511 yr 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. What you have heard from those Englishmen is 100% true.
January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Thailand or England? What a difficult decision... Depends what's important to you, I suppose. If rule of law, standards of service, abundance of professional workmen, an absence of overt corruption and women who aren't after your money are important to you, it's a no-brainer. There are as many obese men in England as there women - something to bear in mind next time youhear heavy-set men whining about fat women back home. Finally, I don't believe the OP was born in Australia - I simply don't believe that the educational authoritieswould have let him leave school with English as bad as his.
January 10, 201511 yr There are meany English living in Thailand ?---georgemandm Because they can........................

January 10, 201511 yr Any further discussion/comment on grammar and the thread will close. 3.

January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Mr Toad, meany or not, was right in one of his earlier posts. The Brits are natural travellers and settlers. Has been that way for centuries. We are also natural philanthropists - so being the best educated nation in the world, we like to go out and teach the world's natives how to be civilised. Hasn't worked in Thailand yet of course

January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post They're trying to get away from all the foreigners who are invading their Country. And those foreigners come mainly from countries which England invaded and colonised. What goes around comes back, reverse colonisation? Look at France today.
January 10, 201511 yr costas, can you not see that the OP is about as Greek as I am ? My question would be why there are so many Aussie weekend warriors in Pattaya atm when our dollar is still below 27 baht, but that's a topic for another thread.
January 10, 201511 yr They're trying to get away from all the foreigners who are invading their Country. by invading another country in turn. We do it because we are good at it. We've had hundreds of years of experience, don't you know?
January 10, 201511 yr Popular Post A lot of British come here for the women Here they can be 50 60 or older and get a 20-25 year old Thai to look after them British men want a young hottie to take care of them In the UK they cannot get the hotties anymore
January 10, 201511 yr Id vote for the cold ,bleak, dull ,grey.................this starts in October and goes on until about May, then we get Summer..............possibly a week of 25c temps....it all ends in a thunderstorm and then thats it for another year. Also for quite a few months its not light until about 8am then dark at 4pm............its is bloody miserable.
January 10, 201511 yr My work and main home is in England.But me and Thai wife come here when business lets us .You get sick of cold in uk .But I don't think Thailand will ever be my permanent home.I like to spend short time in Bangkok but most on farm near Rio et.But I've already had two call wanting me to go back home.So probably leave wife here fly back next week and back here again as soon as I can.I want to stay here till March.

You can get the hotties in England, as you put it.but you have to pay more, maybe some thing the cheap charlies don't have that live in,, Thailand, bring it on.
January 10, 201511 yr I don't mind so much that there are many Englishmen living in Thailand...I just can't understand what they are saying.
