They're innocent . . . clearly.


(No-one is pointing their fingers at them, ergo sum = innocent)

What *I* wonder is why the variation of this thread just HAVE to be posted again and again and again and again and again...  I mean, I don't really *care* why most other foreigner strangers have come here....

If you don't care then why bother reading a thread with a title like this . . . and even more to the point, why 'waste your time' adding to it?

(Foreigner Strangers???)

There are worse places than Britain.  USA comes to mind.

I'm just very happy I don't have to live there any longer.
Agreed! As an American, the main reasons I left are

- 40% of my paycheck gone before I receive it
- Ridiculous property taxes on family houses ($12,000/year in my county)
- No health Insurance? Then please die quietly; away from the marble entrance of our private hospital
- University tuition ($50,000/ year over 4 years $200,000 for a Bachelor degree)
- Crazy Rednecks! (Tea Party)
- New Gingrich
- Barack Obama let us down!

Similar situation in Australia, except for the medical issue, though you do need to op up with a private insurance if you want preferential care . . . and we long ago stopped being disappointed in our politicians.

All in all, though, Oz is a very good place, and Sydney is wonderful . . . but I'd neither retire there nor Thailand . . . and I'd definitely not want or expect my wife to clean my arse when I'm too sick to do so myself.  

Reason I came (back) to Thailand is because I was born in Bangkok six months after my parents arrived on a four-year posting, and I thought it would be a 'romantic' thing to do, having spent many vacations mainly on the islands.

After starting a business, employing many people and being cheated and relied on to support the local cops, some immi officers, local council etc . . . we decided to leave . . . and that was the best decision we ever made.

I'm not bitter about my home country at all - it is a pretty good place - but the thought of retiring is still far away . . .though it definitely won't be Thailand.

I never made the statement about "the French speaking German".  Check out post #55 made by "edko".  

An apology from you is in order.

Your search for the truth needs some help.


Edit in:  The comment is in one of my posts because I quoted your post in which you quoted edko.  Does that help ease your pain a little?

My apologies . . . and there is no pain involved in apologising when having made a mistake.  My point is valid but addressed to the wrong person, sorry.
