Ok but the thai food lacks many nutriment, the meat is of horrible quality and hygiene(same price you get high grade @ costco)
From what i have seen, most of the trash from our countries move to south east asia when they get above 50 years of age, so i dont see how you call this running away from them? A walk down rawai in phuket or on any street in bangkok will confirm this. Also the fact that Singha and chang are making more profits with their wifebeaters than by selling beer.
Thai entertainment does not exist. They are no festivals that have anything interesting. Every single festival is the same thing. It's a bunch of stalls, the same stalls you will find at every daily market, with sub-par food because they are going for volume and profits. Then you will have stalls with copied CDs, then the same cheap clothes/shoes stalls. Every Event is the exact same. The Dancing is also always the same.
I remember Chinese new year's parade in phuket a few weeks ago. 80% of it was old rich thais thinking they are important and just walking down in their sunday's clothes holding a sign with their name on it and some bored kids badly dressed sporting a sign for their school and the cheapest Chinese dragon i have ever seen. A town with 500 people would have a better parade in the west.
Thais only's public shows are those 'funny' but not really funny shows where they scream in a mic with ladyboy voices at 5am or the same crappy dance contest/ladyboy contests or country style music shows that dont appeal to most. IN the west i have shows from international and local artists of ALL genre everyday. Also in every large and even small city you will have a teather having shows almost every night. You also have culture events showcasing videos or artists from all over the world every single week. Also major music festivals for local and international artists. Also they are a lot of museums(thai museums = lol) and places to bring your child to learn about astronomy and many other subject while having fun. All for free of course.
Yes in thailand you don't need a car, thats why there's more than 30 people dying from motorbike accidents every single day while i hear about 1 or 2 of those per year back home. Not having a car for long distance and busy roads = asking for death.
Thai restaurants are rarely great. The few great ones still do not have that many choice. There's pretty much 20-30 things that are decent and its easy to get tired of them... It's always rice with more rice. Cheap thai restaurants are just like hotdog places except the hotdog is a lot tastier than the cheap fried rice with barely any veggies/meat.
Low rent place.. you get what you pay for. Accomodations under 300$ per month are nasty. In the west you can have a nice room mate if you cant afford a 400$ apt which are available pretty much anywhere in the world. You think black women on food stamps can afford to pay more than a thai for rent? no they cant. They find a way to get something cheap. That cheap place will still be more livable than the cheap accomodations i have seen in thailand.
why is it always the people who live close to an homeless lifestyle in thailand that answer these threads. Yes you can survive on 400$ a month in thailand, but your life wont be any better than an homeless in the west who goes to shelter and eats free food. The only difference is here you are not looking for daily handouts and looked down on and will have some sort of privacy. In any case you are not the average and cant compare your very basic life with a normal person.
And as i specified, i am not talking about living in the sticks. While living in the sticks in canada would still be pretty similar to living in isaan price wise. Get some land and build yourself a wood lodge and hunt rabbits.

Let's get a few things straight... first I don't think you are originally frrom Canada and this should explain your lack of civility and to an extent your ignorance. I am originally from Canada and can tell you Canada is not a cheap place to live anymore. I recently returned from a trip to eastern Canada and it is more expensive than Los Angeles. Toronto is now the 16th most expensive city in the world to live. And the west is no longer cheap but increasingly expensive. Also both the Germans and the Brits have a culture and heritage that is clearly defined in literature, music and other elements. You really need to study up before you post. And why are you posting on Thai Visa as it sounds you are not a happy camper here or perhaps anywhere else for that matter. If your goal is simply to irritate you are making a fool of yourself in your efforts.
