Thread: Why so many bloody Brits in Thailand?

I like NR's avi and Legion's.

Legions av gives me a headache and i have rapped my knuckles reaching for the esc button too quickly.

Why so many bloody Brits in Thailand?

It's a no brainer really.

The Brits have been in the region since they occupied Malaya and Burma in the 1820's, and they never really left. That's why the sign says the 'powder room' on the toilet door instead of 'the john' in some of the old pubs and hotels - it's a hangover from the colonial times - that's also why there are more yanks in the philipines, korea, etc..

It is true that brits make up the highest percentage of expats, with the japanese surprisingly coming in second - which is mostly due to them having so many of their factories in los...

Cheers, guys. Was expecting some flack for changing it from the one with the side on view of the boobs, but it was just getting too damn hot for that sweater!

I have mate, i used to be a certified lunatic, now i just repair strait jackets and talk to myself.

In Korea, there are many Canadian, and American expats. There aren't as many British and South African expats, but the numbers are growing.

Down with the Brits !

In response to your original question, regarding the number of Brits here...well, have you visited Britain lately?

Skint Brits make up the majority me thinks
