Its a bit crap here, but then everywhere is a bit crap. I have certainly lived in crappier places.

I don't know Thailand but I couldn't live in the parts of Asia I do know about. Apart from the language problem I find Asian society far too claustrophobic.*

One of the things I like about BC is that if you chose to mind your own business then no-one is going to stop you. I also like the space and the ability to be quickly a long way away from anyone else.

Are they Thai letters above your avatar? I thought they are Hindu or Arabic letters which anyway look the same to me.

Bangkok is like that, but once you get into the country it's much quieter. I'm also not going to hide the fact that the main attraction is (or rather was) the wealth my western salary gave me and all the good things that come with being a lot richer than most of the people around you. The entire time I was there felt like one long holiday.

Are you a Bangkok native? Or were you a B-expat in Bangkok?

Alan2005

I'm not Thai. I was on an ex-pat hardship posting.

cityhog

If you're not Thai, why use Thai letters? Do you think that's cool?

Alan2005

I like them.
