1FinickyOne Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well Possum, I would not use the word better, but I simply enjoy it here more so and that is mostly for the differences it presents, in culture and language and the fact that at least in my country region, the people are friendly and smiling, laughing, and to my eye, much happier than the people back home. Much less stress here... I also enjoy the small affordable luxuries, like taking my afternoon nap while getting a foot massage at the local temple or storefront... I can go on, but you have been here long enough, you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeahSiam Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 God knows I wouldn't move to a whole new country just to get women but I accept that others place a higher priority on that than I do. Thailand isn't better than my country (UK) but it is easier to save, it's cheaper to live and the people are generally nice. Suits me fine for now.

ebonykap Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 TNC (Too Numerous to Count) One thing though, I feel I have more relevance here in my aging years, whereas in Australia you are virtually written off as a liability once you hit your 50's.

Well....secretly ..they are horny and sexually motivated also...but not openly I am not talking about the sex industry because if it did not exist the fact remains that the women have sexual aspirations also and they also like sex...preferably by way of old world mannerism and courtship ect...in theory...but they do not deny their sexuality...rather do not openly show it or flaunt it ...being prim and proper like.... until lust overwhelms them...like all people...you know.

Laughing Gravy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would be paying far more tax in my home country 405 and NI contributions (I still pay) than I would here propping up scroungers and lay about's.

hyperHowie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm an American so my answers will probably differ from those of you from the UK or EU, who seem to make up the majority of responses. Additionally, I have never lived there, having only visited for several weeks with years intervening. However, despite my naiveté, perhaps some of you can also set me right before I move to CM in 2017/18. I was an Army brat, so I went to an international middle school in Tokyo and an American high school in Seoul. My parents wound up living in Korea for over 20 yrs. I'm 1/4 Japanese but you never could tell. I currently mentor two 27 yo Chinese students and as a result have spent the equivalent of several months in China. Thailand & Vietnam intrigue me because of the imprinting I received hanging around with my Asian friends as a kid. My parents' extensive experience in Asia also is an influence. I have no desire to live in China for multiple reasons and I'm not interested in Laos nor Cambodia (though limited exposure.) BKK might be too "big city" for me, CM seems a fit. I don't even think I would be interested in rural life as of yet. Danag, VN is another option as that country isn't as developed as Thailand nor as undeveloped as Laos/Cambodia. Japan is too westernized by Asian standards. I'm NOT looking for Thai women, bar life nor even beach life -- I have sun, sand & sin here if that's all I want. I'm hoping to experience a culture that's different from mine: sounds, sights, smells, tastes (food), touch, et al. Yes, I know they'll be irritating noise, not just music, awful smells not just fragrant ones, irritating noise not just Thai music. Add in bureacracy, politics, traffic, headaches ad infinitum, so what? I can afford to live anywhere comfortably, but I do NOT want an easy chair in front of the tv nor traveling my country nor even (westernized) Europe (backpacked in my 20s). Australia, maybe. Africa, South/Central America & the Middle East hold little intrigue other than as tourist destinations. SO WHAT AM I NOT SEEING? WHAT DO YOU THINK I NEED TO KNOW? WHAT UGLY SURPRISES AWAIT (good ones too)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somchai jones Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Life's great here for so many reasons.........in fact the only miserable people I encounter here are the sad old western farts that thought they'd hit the jackpot when they moved over here after marrying the first bar girl they met. They now sit stewing in their misery and bitterness whilst those like myself who enjoy it here carry on enjoying it..........oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure the UK is one of the worst for cameras, but just to toss this out there: About 3 weeks ago I drove from Surin to BKK and back. Over the last couple days we have gotten 3 tickets in the mail with me doing over 140kph in the car on that trip. 500 baht each lol. Hey I knowingly broke the law and they got me so I happily paid but its getting worse (or imho better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepinthailand Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Laid back non judgmental people. The lack of stupid health and safety rules governing my life in country of birth. Build what ever whenever (in the sticks) Walk around village and apart from me Mr Farang there all Thais (couldn't do that in my birth village now all English!! Lucky if you find 60% English now). The overriding reason my wife and son are Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a difficult question for an Englishman you could get many replies from people you don't know also with different views and confusing opposite ones, my take would be without doubt go and spend time in CM and make your own mind up. OK America is big with lots of different people but maybe it would help to get to chat with some American people who live there as well as expats from the many other countries. If you post your own topic in CM forum I guess that would be more helpful. Goodluck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
