Why I moved out of Bangkok: tired of sitting in traffic jams, black feet when wearing flip flops, people putting their dogs out to poo in the side streets so they are full of dog poo, pollution, costs, and city people not as friendly as country people. Sounds like I am complaining but I did stay over 10 years and did have a wonderful time.

Koh Kood in low season having just returned,........a lot of places and amenities in the resorts are closed (i.e on-site convenience shops, room service) dining hours are also restricted to around 8pm for last orders. If the weather is poor there isn't a great deal to do it is also one of the most sparsely populated islands so on the flip side very little traffic and it is a paradise.

12:56 rumor has it that new government in a year or so will allow you to bring your MR2 into Thailand under new rules - only 100% import tax and weekend only registration. So we will see what happens with that. I do Porsche, have a few great ones over here in California, I’ll move full time to Bangkok soon (I hope). I’d hate to leave all my cars at home and buy a lesser car for more money in Thailand but that is the curse of car addiction. Otherwise you can buy a low cost car in Thailand and modify it - like Chad’s car. Everything is cheaper in Thailand except the cars 😢

All you need for visa is 20k Baht and the right agent and he opens a bank account for you and you get a original visa for a whole year.

Leaving your keys with your motorcycle is just asking for trouble. What's the point? How hard is it to put your keys in your pocket? Things are better than they used to be; that's partly because of cameras being everywhere, but things do get stolen here. A helmet of mine got stolen. Luckily, it was just a cheap one. I had a friend whose motorcycle was stolen from the parking lot of the building he lived in. There was a guard posted 24/7 and he didn't leave the keys with the vehicle. That means the thieves came in with a pick-up truck and lifted the bike onto the bed. The guard on duty was fired, and my friend received some compensation from the building owner, but it took months to get it straightened out.

In Africa and even in Italy, I was often seen as a "mark" same in parts of South America I was at risk of being kidnapped..We Western foreigners are considered to be wealthy, technically we come from wealthy countries. Being a "farng" is in my view not unique to Thailand, I never feel unsafe in Thailand (unless I am on a motorcycle).

Unfortunately people who have English as their mother tongue are very lazy with languages but at the same time demand everyone to speak English at their home.

I really think there is no need to learn Thai as it is very difficult like you mentioned. That little translator unit you had on your channel a few times is the perfect way to communicate and if you need a backup you can use your phone. It is nice to learn some simple phrases as the locals like it but the better you are at speaking Thai the more they assume you understand the language and it is almost impossible to understand if spoken quickly.

@davidmann2524 Ай бұрын

Thats the biggest issue with Thailand. You can't really go anywhere as an expat and fit in with locals until you learn the language. Nobody wants to communicate through translator units.
