    Hmm 3 good reasons.

    Prawns are much cheaper.

    The weather is pretty predictable

    There are very few Welsh there.

    options that you can afford
    beautiful golf courses you can afford
    beautiful caddies on said golf courses
    few welsh people
    .
    and so on.
    I'm struggling to see even 3 convincing reasons above.

    If you are happy to live surrounded by dire poverty, and have people desperate enough to wait on you for a few dollars per day, then its a reason
    If you love intense tropical heat and monsoon rain and floods, then its a reason.
    If you can't get a nice woman in your own country, or like small brown gold diggers, and are happy to take on a woman that the local men arent interested in taking on, then its a reason.
    If you hate your own culture and think people with another culture are better, then its a reason.
    If you like poor quality beer that is much more expensive than you can buy at home, earnings for earnings, then its a reason.
    If you like to regularly eat spicy uncooked isaan food that the Thai government admits is often contaminated with dirt and germs, then its a reason.
    If you get a hard-on from buying pirated goods, then its a reason.

    ^No, I'm being honest, and the post I quoted stinks of simple Thaiophilia.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention that Thailand has pretty much the highest death toll for motorbike users per capita in the world. I've sold mine.

    Bought a car instead. And if I happen to see Marmite crossing the road to the whorehouse when I'm out in it, perhaps I'll accidentilly confuse the brake with the accelerator....

    I once confused the hooter with the windscreen washers. A cyclist cut in front of me and he was little perplexed to see me swearing at him wildy whilst frantically squirting water.

    Mercs are for jerks who see a car as more important than a home.

    Not really. You see as often as I do the 10k apartments with an array of mercs in the carpark worth more than the apartment. My BMW cost me less than 20k in the UK, my apartment cost 100k.

    Any other pointless points, or is it time to accept that cheap insults are all you have to retaliate to my trashing of CMNs Thaiophilia?

    Yep, keep it up CMN! Plenty of limp-wristed Thaiophiles out there need to read your points to see off the "normal" people and bring them back into the Thaiophile fold....

    WEll as you can see some folks are here say tehy like t but can;t say anything good about it...
    Me I like it here. Lots of reasons most of 'em my own. no way you can be told what you'd like and what you don't. Come over spend a ew weeks or a month. if you like it come back. After a few trips you can make your own mind up then

    I have to laugh when I read Thaiophiles saying how lucky they are to live in poverty-stricken Thailand.

    " It was reported that 22 percent of samples of Som tam (a popular raw papaya salad) had a total plate count of 106 to 108 CFU/g, 22 percent of samples had coliform bacteria in excess of 1 100 MPN/g and 11 percent of samples had Escherichia coli in excess of 1 100 MPN/g. A greater incidence and higher counts of contaminants were found in beverages. Aflatoxins and lead in excess of permitted levels were also found in foods and drinks. "


    More than 75 percent of the vendors brought water from their homes or nearby areas in plastic containers. In some stalls less than 1 litre of water was used per consumer for cleaning and food preparation purposes, which indicated that cleaning operations were certainly deficient.

    On average, coliform bacteria were found in more than 50 percent of the food samples. In some areas, 87 percent of the samples were contaminated. Contamination of vendors' hands and utensils ranged from 18 to 69 percent depending on the area. Where tap water was available, the contamination of utensils was significantly lower.
    More than 95 percent of the vendors had completed primary school or more; vendors were literate but had a low level of education."

    Every person has a different point of view.

    I think SMEG likes Thailand cos it makes him feel superior than the local poor,pathetic,low life,full of scum,dirty,unworthy and unwanted locals.

    Iam here for education.I dont other member's reasons.

    I have explained many times why I'm here. Its for tropical sea, wildlife, and the fact that my job has a part-time option here. Plus the fact that I have a queue of cuties waiting to sleep at my apartment.

    I think you'll find that its the long term Thaiophile types that get an orgasm out of being able to earn so much more than the average GDP per capita for the first and only time in their life, and love being surrounded by peasants....
