BritManToo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Don't blame you, I'm gone at the end of the month too, before the water runs out. Haven't bothered to renew my yearly extension. Not spending so much time here these days. Spain and France are great for the summer and autumn. Edited April 19, 2016 by BritManToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) He is one of many. I myself are tired of lying stealing dirty Thais . And that's the family. There last escapade has nearly cost me my life. This message is sent from a UK hospital isolation ward been here nearly a week. Because some dirty person could not wash his Hands after a shit. Brother in Law he had a fever and was told to stay away. But the pull of the Baht was stronger than my health. He gave me anti biotic resistant. Bug . I have been through hell and still are so that's me finished with Thailand after 10 years the place is no fun any more Edited April 19, 2016 by Thongkorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I won't be deleting my account or bad mouthing anyone,but I've just arrived in the UK with my daughter and wont be returning back to Thailand anytime soon. I've enjoyed my 7 years living off and on with rotational work but in that time I've seen the place steadily decline and in my opinion it's not getting any better. Ok so I don't have the weather but myself and my daughter have recourse to hospitals,dentists,schooling,free safe public transport and a large extended family who have and can give much more than her Thai family. No risk of tropical disease,water shortages or power cuts and the standard of living here is pretty dammed good in all fairness. The lovely government even give her some free money every month until she goes to university or full time work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyUK1960 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Been in Thailand 9 years and I am working on a plan of exit. Reason. Its just to hot for English Farlang.

ThaiKneeTim Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's a bit unreasonable for some commenters the blame a country for their personal mishaps. The guy whose brother-in-law didn't wash his hands, that's obviously the whole country at fault isn't it!! While the frustrations are many, they aren't exactly unique to Thailand, you find some similar, and many alternative, frustrations wherever you go. Oh, and the free healthcare, give it another four years and that will have gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made less than 300 posts in 3 year, so if he hadn't made this post at all nobody would have known. I think the OP is quite honest about his reason, and I have noticed that quite a few have gone before him, and no doubt many will follow in the not so distant future. Now be honest, do you even live full time in Thailand, or do you walk around with blinkers on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thailand is a great place to retire. I'm very content here. If I were a young man raising a family, that is an entirely different situation. You are building no retirement pension and your children will get a substandard education. A good friend of mine took his half Thai daughter and moved to the USA. His daughter is an intelligent girl and she is getting a good education. She loves the US and it is not likely that she will ever want to come back here. No way would I ever want to raise a family here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think you'll find the Thai bashers tend to be the longer term expats who know everything about Thailand but really know very little. Those who are leaving,myself included often do so not because of a disdain or hatred of Thailand it's people culture or other aspects,we simply do so for the better of our families and personal situations.

Happy Grumpy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'd be doing the exact same, if I was a Thai (that had the means). Luckily, I can just up and leave as soon as the joke of a country really becomes sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
