Thread: Here's why Thailand is home for me, what about you?

After 16 years living in the shit hole l am glad to be back home, sure had some great times and must admit enjoying it for the first 10 years.
Have been back home now 18 months and don't miss a thing.

Three score and ten, after that .........

Don't think the handbag will be going to his funeral anytime soon-

It has gone down the pan as well and will be even more so, can't buy a drink when you want, 10 years for vapping, 15 for laughing a t a certain dog, always an alien, insane driving and surrounded by idiots. Home has a lot to be said for it in the end.

You'd be miserable and whinging wherever you lived, xanax.

Classic Euro-capitalist materialistic mindset, likely engendered at a young age while suckling on a nurse's maid tit.

Further meditation required

Not to mention that Jeff conveniently forgot to mention that us white boys cannot own land so ya buying it for ya Bint.

If ya happy with that then all good, if not don't be fookin idiot by buying land in this shithouse.

Jeff's a bit fuked in the head though eh.

Yer put in a good innings in this fuked up place Rigger. Give it a good shake.

Ya got Kids but so good choice to pull em out of this Dog House, ya certainly would not want them growing up as stupid as most of em.

It's a great place to retire and base in but fuk raising kids here. No way .

I've been straight up with my handbag from the get go.

I've told her one day I may need to return back to Australia mainly if serious illness happens.

She knows the score. If it happens though I'll sling her a few million baht for being such a great partner.

I will too.

She don't know that but.

I really have no plans of going back though, i really like living in this mad arsed joint.

But, then I was booed for having an opinion that all women are beautiful, so at times I think differently than others.. shoot me under the bus.

I've been thinking of moving to Thailand for a long time, but i'll only go for the right job/money. I've also been thinking in the future of doing a one year ED visa and studying Thai language and Muay Thai. Within five years or so, it should pan out.

so, your preferred location then...

^^

Your first part was good but then ya had a big bitch.

Cut that out.

But yer,

That's why I have two homes and go home twice a year for 5 weeks or so.

Keeps shit fresh but gota tell ya, after 4 weeks or so back in the real world I'm booking a flight out.

Fookin boring and so predicable and has no edge.

Fook that, i love the stupid shit these retards do.

Be advised, PB, that the ed-visa policy and availability isn't what it used to be - if they haven't nearly trashed it already.

I'd look into it before committing yourself to the mystical ed-visa.
There are better options if your looking to teach/reside.

^I have a friend that did it recently and it is definitely possible and not hard to do. I should have some cash in the next three to four years and then I just want to relax for awhile and enjoy Thailand and all the things I love about it. I feel guilty for wanting to just kind of take a sabbatical for a year.

I know exactly what you mean. When I'm in Canada for more than two weeks, I feel like it is a ghost town and I wonder where everyone is hiding. You get used to the madness after awhile. I shake my head a lot, but don't get angry like I used to the first year of living in China. At times I will give the finger to a driver or say fuck that under my breath, but then it is back to living it. lol

You're in for a shock, if you think "back home" (wherever that is) is universally better in those respects... some places are on the way up, some on the way down; but most places are on the way down if you are

Well, other cvnt-struck punters buy a house & land, at least they get some nice space, larger than a shoebox, to enjoy while it lasts, eh.

I live out in the middle of no where, low to zero crime, great sporting community, excellent school, plenty to do, 4x4, dirt bikes, camping, fishing, boating all close by.
Only down side is winter, cost of living, longer flights from work.
Even the kids tell me they only want to visit and not live in Thailand.
Might head over xmas time for a island holiday.

That sounds more like Canada or somewhere on the south island New Zealand.
I still think everywhere has gone down the pan, though... everyone from everywhere seems to keep saying it from wherever they're from, so they must all be right, if taken as an aggregate.

Uk turning into Wogistan is a good enough reason

it's those half chinks that piss me off.
