Jingthing Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Does not matter, whatever country it is I would most likely have moved from there as well. Well there are many advantages to being a native citizen of a place. So I judge your response as: INVALID. So, dudes and dudesses, name your ONE top "other" country and reasons if you choose, or be judged INVALID. Edited May 4, 2016 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laolover88 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I do think it is a most interesting question. I also think that once the OP has established the answers to the original question it might be expanded. I know there have been threads about "Why did you come to live in Thailand"? and about "Where might be better"?. But the central question of "Where do you really want to live and why" always remains. For many people proximity to family is important; others have less choice because they need to work: others choose to align their life with a partner's family etc.I was born in a place which I love, but I do not want to live there. My profession took me round the world. There were probably too many choices! I chose, decades ago, to live in Thailand because in those days Phuket resembled the South of France and I could work. Not now! I And then, of course, I met my wife and we have our family . I think, now, in a perfect world where I need security for the children, old age hospital care, the sea, wine, good food, would be a return to roots: my perfect locations would be the much underestimated Corsica and Sardinia. But they are useless for the children in spite of family being there. I dislike big cities. The best I know are Venice, Vienna, Liverpool, Lyon , Edinburgh, Tucson, Seville.(There is a surprise in there!) Again I don't want to live in them and not being a citizen of having been born in the country of 4 of them don't have to worry! about it. I see no-one has chosen Belgium, nor Turkey, nor Portugal. Uruguay was an unusual choice! How about Brunei? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ResandePohm Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 that is the spirit thanks guys oh this is not my post Why is your profile picture a woman and you gender male? Just curious. Don't be curious this is my wife who is going to divorce me but I will love her forever Because of all your mundane and pathetic responses, if I was your wife I would divorce you too.

ResandePohm Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Spain. I think the reason no one has said Thailand is bc odds are they would be raised with very poor education, have low intellect, and be unable to relate to the rest of the world.

I think he means if you were born again in the same year,what country would you like to have been brought-up in..... Agreed but what is the point of including my quote?
