While I have sometimes found the forum about the protests etc interesting and sometimes informative, I am getting really tired and bored with so much negative **** about the country and people, and sometimes the hatred in words expressed.... not just in forums... but in day to day life here too.
Sure, I have been as guilty of being negative myself and saying things from my own anger or frustration that I later come to regret.
I also just had a good buddy, who has lived here 6 years, get so affected by all the **** lately that he has left and gone back to him home country.
In the end, being negative just draws more negative and focuses attention away for the many, many wonderful things this country and people have. As an expat living here and in Asia for many years, Thailand is my home of choice. I still cant think of a better country (for me) in which to live.
So please, if you have something good to say about living here, or a story to tell, put it here. (or are dramatic and negative forums more popular?
1. Where else would I find better or more delicious food than Thailand? If I left, I would miss all my favourite dishes that I can get anywhere on the street or small restaurant.
2. I love the Thai sense of sanuk and people so easy to laugh.
3. If you live here for a while, you cannot avoid being touched deeply by 'nam jai' at some unexpected times.
