Why do you post on Teak Door?

George I am quite suprised you are not retireing to Thailand, your money would go a lot further, but then again florida is nice :)

Actually, I was looking forward to a life in Thailand. I had previously found some things difficult to deal with, but tried to overlook them. Upon my latest month's visit, comprised mainly of family and village encounters, the predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the Thai's functioning, as a group, does not fit my vision of an enjoyable retirement.

I do not want to highjack this thread! If there's any worth discussing my feelings further, I'll need to be encouraged to start another dialog.

Go on CG, I'd be interested to know in a bit more detail what turned you off Thailand. I'm sure you'll get other people's perspectives on what you found objectionable. How about a new thread "Why I'm Not Retiring To LOS"? Pretty please. :)

Seconded

Let me get past the hangover and put my thoughts into something worth reading. I won't promise tomorrow, but soon!

Not enough variety of animals in Thailnd?:)

You still allowed on tv then boonmee? ahhh, I forgot you got banned aswell :) cant understand why :)

Well, it turns out it wern't an outright ban as I'm back in there - albeit that I can't post anything of a political nature. It was suggested that I stick to the Pets and Food Forums!:D
We'll see how long that lasts...:cool:

Takes one to know one eh, Headmaster?
But, an extended trolling mission is not the case as I genuinely enjoy the 'free exchange of ideas' we have in Issues!:D

One doesn't exclude the other. ;)

But I take this as a compliment for myself and the moderating team. :)
Thanks!

Goo d selection of people think Teakdoor's regulars are a bit jaded, With a sense of humor. not too many folks trying to prove a point, here or at least taking it too seriously. A wealth of real, down-to-earth knowledge on life in Thailand. We got dye-in-the-wool redneck and some wacked-out hippies (NOT Hippie type now the real deal!) al in the mix.

Reminds me a of a frisco-family get-together back inthe 60's. I like it. At one point or another I have found myself agreeing with damn-near every poster on this board and disagreein' with all of 'em on a point or two.

Most the people here feel genuine. Them's the best kind o' folks.
