Dave, how long have you lived in Thailand? I tried it and it drove me nuts! 😂😂😂
Great place for a holiday, but I would never live there again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I lived in Thailand for 7 years in Chiang Mai,Bangkok and Phuket I left when the military dictatorship took power this time again.I was at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok just after the terrible bombing of the place and it was absolute carnage,I never really liked Bangkok anyway but after three years and seeing that decided to leave.
I headed for Phnom Penh,Cambodia a beautiful,low-rise colonial city sitting lazily on the banks of the mighty Mekong River.
Wide open boulevards and green spaces everywhere I loved that place,great restaurants in BKK1 and Riverside plus the people are so genuine there.
They even call it the land of genuine smiles with Thailand obviously being the land of fake smiles although I still love Northern Thailand the real Thailand!
Back in the UK now for 10 months it's as bad as ever here now and plotting my next escape,probably heading for Vietnam and Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City but it's only 3-4 hours by fast boat up the Mekong to Phnom Penh so I'll probably spend the weekends there anyway?
