I think its fair to say that it takes a long time for a farang to come to this realization as we don't want to spoil the dream.

Its also taken me 20 years of coming and going to realize things ain't all good in the land of smiles.

Saying that I'm going to give it a fair go when I retire next year but I'm well glad I have experience under my belt and can possibly avoid the negative aspects.
