    I look at this way,

    Ive been travelling to thailand for 20 years, have travelled extensively over the country and met and interacted with many different thai on different levels.

    I can honestly say they aint done nothing bad to me and on many occasions have helped me. I talk to my friends who live and work here and theres only a few who have really negative opinions, they are involved in serious business so there seems to be a common thread there.

    The others have positive things to say about the thai but i think the way we must look at this is to say theres 65 million thais and the good would outway the bad just as it does in my country.

    All i can say is i like them but i dont hang out in pattaya, phuket, patpong, soi cowboy or any of those places where one will encounter the worst of the thai and the worst of the farang.

    I suggest that you thai haters do a nice little trip through isaan and then let us know if you still hate thais.

    cheers dudes.

    I have to say that so far Thai people helped me far more than farangs did, both professionally and personally (but I helped them also, reciprocity works here...).
    And I trust them far more than quite a few of my farang colleagues (reciprocity does not work in farangland...).

    Ill be moving here permanent in 2 years time.

    The first thing ill be doing is going back to school, learning how to speak thai properly, to truly integrate into the society one must speak the lingo and only this way will one make good thai friends.

    You'll be moving to Thailand as a temporary resident for purposes other than tourism if you come on a Non-Imm. Or you'll be a tourist on tourist visas.

    There are no permanent options available until you have stayed for a certain amount of time with a full work permit and paid taxes. Then you'll need to apply for permanent residency which will require you to speak some Thai and know some cultural idioms.

    Good luck.
