Building a resort on the beach.

So your "resort" offers windsurfing, kayaking tours, snorkel equipment rental and other activities offered at resorts?

Or is it just a hotel?

555

In Thailand, whenever they build a hotel in the middle of a rice field, it's magically a "resort"

As a matter of fact....yes.....And its not in the middle of a rice field.

best was my business and my 2 kids. worst, buying properties, will soon wipe out most of the gains i made with my business.

May I ask what happened with the properties?

bought and sold 2 houses and managed to break even. bought 2 condos off plan. been waiting 4.5 years, supposed to be finished at the end of the year. i dont want them and now pattaya is flooded with new condos. put down 1.5 mill. doubt i will be able to sell them, dont even know if i should pay the other 1.5 mill due on completion or walk away. about 2 years income down the drain. not the end of the world i suppose.

Jealous ? I'm guessing you on a Diving Platform with a nice concrete View ?

While living in patong,going to the orphanage and spending 4000 baht for basic needs of the kids,instead of spending it for myself.A lady escorted me to the

nearest Tesco and we bought stuff for the kitchen and the kids.Before I left,the ladies gathered the kids and they sang a Thai song to say thank you.

One of the best days,best moments of my life.

The OP notes in his opening about "best thing", becoming a member of ThaiVisa was one. Nobody commented on that! But I do have to agree with him.

ThaiVisa is both informative and entertaining. I wouldn't be without it.

While many commenting posts are conflicting and needlessly annoying, I am still in transition stage and being an avid reader, it has tremendously raised my awareness level to literally hundreds of possibilities.

Learning the Thai language.

True enough. Especially becoming a fluent reader.

I wouldn't have thought that a non-latin based, and thus completely alien language and alphabet was within my ability having not given a damn about languages while in school and uni, but hey, 10 years later here I am.

"If the best you've done since coming to Thailand is becoming a member of Thaivisa may I recommend that you get out more"

Rayk. What a Stupid comment, maybe your the one who should get out more, away from your barstool.

The best thing I did was stopped trying to make sense of Thailand.

That's understandable, there is not a lot of sense here, but the good still outweighs the bad.

Makes you wonder what sort of country Thailand would be if the majority of people had even average intelligence.

Head for the departure lounge with my child. Would never wish to bring up a youngster in a society like Thailand.

Apart from education, just how bad is it going to be if you want to bring up a child in the UK compared with here in Thailand.

Immigration etc, etc,etc.

Making the difficult decision to move elsewhere...sold the condos and car...gave away the bike and furniture...left with a backpack and a briefcase...

I have found life less stressful in an English speaking country...better food, healthcare, less hassles and people are less violent...

less hassles and people are less violent....

You are obviously not talking about the UK.

My experience with Thai people is that they are mostly non confrontational.
