So the obvious and very simple answer is to move somewhere more to your liking, and she can fly back to Thailand whenever she wants for her family and food fix. An uncountable number of people with Thai partners all over the world do this successfully and it's what we'd do too if living in Thailand bothered us so much. Or, the other option would be to just stay and whine about how bad things are because through our faux intelligence we've painted ourselves into a corner with no exit. But, just how fucking stupid would anyone need to be to do that?
You write as if you were a wound-up toy endlessly repeating a simple refrain that represents the entirety of its repertoire.
I think you must be quite fat. Your prose style suggests a limited vocabulary and from this I assume you were inclined to manual labour, or some such physical endeavour, in the course of your career and from experience I note many of your ilk on retirement soon lose shape and become quite, well, blobby.
Are you blobby, Headwax?
^Dance around it and deflect all you want, there's no getting around the blatantly obvious fact that you're stuck here with no way out and that must really hurt. Pure speculation on my part of course, I have absolutely no idea what that must feel like but that's largely because I'm not a fucking idiot who's incapable of enjoying life here (and having options should that change).
Oh, absolutely. (why can't I find my SL travel thread!?) The people, scenery, wildlife, fishing, sports etc...
And that's the rub. Why potentially get involved with that when you can go to another Buddhist country . . . Thailand. That's how tourism decisions are made.
found the link to it on google but it is gone..

To be very honest, I always tell my brother to not bother with Thailand. His previous holidays (that I remember) were Sri Lanka, Madagascar and the Amazon, there was a central america country, but off hand forget. Have suggested that he should visit Japan if he comes this way, with maybe a two night stop here- ain't much of anything to be honest.
I agree. That comes across as a pretty clear assessment of SA. I envision a guy who is trapped and can't leave whether it be financially or his "Wingman" is holding him here. He clearly has no hobbies, limited motivation and simply finds more reward thumbing through a Thesaurus to come up with words to spit his vile nonsense about how he hates this place. The reality is that even if (and that's a big if) SA could leave, he would be just as miserable as he is now anywhere he goes. Being miserable and disgruntled is what people inflict upon themselves. I have met many in my travels just like SA.
Good Luck on your next stop SA once you get all them "Ducks lined up"...
ducks.
in a line.
Millions of them.
Apparently.
Good point, thanks lom - and nice sleuthing re the thread
I believe that for a seasoned traveller Thailand may not have much to offer, and it'd take some work to make it worthwhile. Perhaps we, as Thailand-oldies are too cynical about the place.
My eldest daughter recently (January last year) had a lovely two weeks of swimming and snorkelling etc... but you can get that in many places . . . she went to Hamilton island after that and had the same without the 'spice' of being in a different country
You're being unfair with your examples of "Sri Lanka, Madagascar and the Amazon" Apples and Oranges
Or Belize? Sadly never been but it is firmly a non-mass-tourism favourite from the US
