SkyFax Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It seems most everyone who thinks it's great that they left Thailand was able to bring some specimen of Thai female-dom along with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be losing that stupid face thing, can we? Many posters have stated that the expense of Thailand is one of the reasons why they have decided to leave .

Interesting question. The problem I think is that people misuse the words immigrant and expat with regard to Thailand and mystical magical farangland. Tourist visas for many western countries for Thai women, and let's be honest on TVF thats what we are all talking about, are a crapshoot of unfathomable dimensions in many cases The difference is where it comes to immigration. Very very few farangs are immigrants to Thailand, you're just long stay tourists, living on a year to year visa extension, hence the ever changing rules, 90 day reports etc etc. Generally when a Thai wife becomes an immigrant in a western country, yeah it's a hassle to go through the process, I think the Brits have it the worst, but once they are permanent residents, they have in all practical senses the same rights as a citizen. So I wouldn't exactly characterize it as a Nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see their comparisons. For me I think it's a mindset more than anything. All the headaches and red tape are worth it to me. I just tell myself it's a fair trade off to avoid Montreal winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitPudding Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Is the pollution really that bad? I was in BKK in October and I didn't notice it. The air seemed the same as 5-10 years ago when I lived in Bangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And goodness, do not bring up any good points! There are some Thailand's days are numbered discussions going on here, how dare you deny those of their daily whine and complain allotment.
