It’s an actual fact in the UK, I have seen my home town swamped by them. I don’t follow msm as they elude the truth in the UK, especially the likes of the BBC. Genuine asylum seekers with genuine reasons is one thing, but there are many coming to the UK that aren’t genuine, no ID and could be criminals in their home country.

I can possibly see why you would say that. I live up in Issan and there are plenty of places that look like it’s a deprived area with people living in very basic homes that look more like cow sheds in some cases, but one thing that stands out is how people are generally happy. The house I live in is very basic, and I mean very basic compared to English expectations, but I have to say it doesn’t bother me in the slightest, I actually love this rural life. I am however doing improvements to the place bit by bit, but it’s not a deal breaker and there’s not been one moment I’ve thought to myself that I want to move to a fully westernised house with all mod cons.

Perhaps, but being elderly in the UK nowadays doesn’t seem to be a good outlook either. It’s probably a bit of a gamble living here, but my life in England was going nowhere. All I did was work to pay bills and found myself increasingly unhappy. What I love about here is that you can turn your dreams into a reality as things are much more affordable, such as land etc so I’ve started a small scale mushroom farm with the intention of expanding over the coming years. In England that was virtually impossible as the cost of land and setting up made it way outside of my budget. I’ve rented a rai of land at the back of our house for 10,000 baht per year on a rolling contract so a very small risk but the potential of creating a really good business. I was a plasterer in England so it’s a total change, but something I’ve always wanted to do all my adult life. Fingers crossed it works out.

I have as it happens but I still stand by what I said. No way would I swap here for anywhere in the UK. Only a Scot would do something crazy like that.

This is why I left England. It offers no hope anymore and there is a lovely life here. I don’t ever intend moving back let’s put it that way!

parts of England are beautiful, but as a whole it’s a run down, over priced, over taxed island of misery and rising crime run by a bunch of absolute idiots. Thailand is so much better in nearly every way, and it’s far more beautiful than even the prettiest parts of the UK.

What more genuine reason would you need to return to Thailand after visiting the crappy UK 🤷🏽‍♂️ She’ll probably want to return as soon as she sees how shit it is.

Just get her to fly to France then buy her an inflatable and get her to sail across making sure she dumps her passport and ID in the sea before she lands! The UK government prefers illegals to legals so might as well play the system as it’s difficult to get a legal into the UK for some bizarre reason.

are you in US or UK? It’s so bad in the UK nowadays unless you’re loaded and aren’t affected by the clowns that govern.
