Hi there longer term EXPATS (only).

Express your "expatisatisfaction" or alternatively your "expat-Dissatisfaction" for these TOP Thailand expat magnets (only).

Pattaya Metro Area

Bangkok Metro Area

Phuket

Hua Hin Metro Area

Chiang Mai Metro Area

Isaan MASSIVE area

If you're not living in one of the TOP expat magnets, this poll ain't for you.

1. Don't like and avoid normally but visit occasionally.

2. Like. Lots to do, see and eat.

3. Dont like been and done it.

4. Like. Good for family visits.

5. Like. Again good for family trips. Diddnt like it so much last visit.

6. It's OK. Only usually visit anually on visa trips. Nice enough.

Entire Central Thailand area missing?

Plus Southern Thailand and Samui etc !!

It would seem for whatever reason the OP does not consider any other areas, than those listed, as "top magnets".smile.png

I would probably have added Samui if I had thought about it. Not central Thailand though. Isaan I almost left out intentionally. To my view an expat magnet is a place with a very well developed infrastructure to support international residents.

Poll for entertainment purposes only.

Your OP, your poll, up to you, as the Thai's say thumbsup.gif

Well like I said I would have added Samui.

Look at it this way -- if you were doing the top expat magnets in the U.S. you would include LA, NYC, Miami, etc. but leave out Kansas City and Milwaukee.

Whoooo hooooo, another Jingthing poll. Ohhhhh, dammit, I can't participate :(

Why can't I be "expatisatisfactioned" in a certain area and grumpy ?

(ps: Poll says 24 votes but the numbers only add up to 21 at time of this posting.)

Due to recent Brexit we have once again been told "Don't believe the polls". I notice here that this poll has nobody dissatisfied with their choice, yet on TVforum we see plenty.

I get 44 and 35.

Clearly 20% of TV'ers opinions aren't worth counting.

Maybe "null" (deleted) votes are counted in these polls.

"...but leave out Kansas City and Milwaukee. "

But surely include Chicago. Just ask Frank.

Where I live has decent infrastructure and many international expats live there so must be ok. Maybe you should have said if it doesn't have boy bars or girl bars it doesn't qualify for you and others. Isaan is part of Thailand so if you do a poll on Thailand it should be included. It is the major food bowl of the country.

Isaan. Why would it be left out? Its the food bowl of the country. Where I stay has decent infrastructure and must have support for the many international expats living in and around here. Maybe we do not have boy bars and girly bars many of you like but it is our home and love it. You stay in the dirty (morally) places and we will keep Isaan a secret from the like of all you detractors of Isaan. In fact you can shove your silly little polls, you are so fond of, where you would most enjoy.

"Isaan I almost left out intentionally". Are you serious? Do you know how many expats live in Isaan? Thailand is not just about sexpats being here. Isaan is the food bowl of Thailand so therefore pretty important. Where I live it has obviously a lot of what expats look for in infrastructure and support. Mind you we do not have the bashings and murders and balcony jumpers. So maybe not important then. Also do not have the boy bars and girly bars like many on here like so maybe not that important again. Probably better to get your head out of your a-- and get out and see how many good places there are in Isaan. You can then go back to the morally busted areas you put in your survey with a bit more knowledge. bah.gif

I'm "serious" about putting you on my ignore list. Now go eat some food. Out of a bowl.
