Why are there so many sarcastic comments on expat groups about Thailand?

Jx ******

You book a trip first, give very little info on your nationality/passport status.

Then can't even do basic google...

I wonder why people are sarcastic, I wouldn't book a weekend holiday without checking the bare basics first.

What are the options for foreigners to buy a house in Thailand, particularly in Pattaya?

Jx ******

definitely wouldn't take advice from someone who tells people it's good to buy in Thailand.

As for Australia's market im okay thanks. Wasn't asking for advice. I'm very well diversified but for the average joe blow it's far better to avoid Thai. If you think otherwise you are clueless.

it's a risky game. Land owner can dog you anytime he wants and you will not win. Same for company with Thai partners.

As for selling, it's very hard.

Just rent.
