It never ceases to amaze me they seem to almost tempt fate and say..go on do your worst! If you get killed it was fate or bad luck nothing to do with ignoring basic road rules lost count of the number of times people stray into your lanes, gets worse the closer you get to Isaan country..they are in a league of their own, even my wife swears at them having lived in the UK.
Maybe it us getting older but there were some absolute fuckwits on the roads today even my wife was sure at the idiots out today.Mostly on motorbikes 3 to a motorbike no rear light and if course no helmets Police drove beside them and did nothing.
Had to deal with local authorities, they do like bureaucracy fof bureaucracies sake, most of the processes do not serve any purpose ,just the way it has always been done.
They can be, having lived in Malaysia and Singapore find the people there easier to get on with and the standard if English is better and living standard higher.Whether you Speak Thai or not should no make a great difference how you are treated.
Thailand had a lot to offer but it seems to be getting more tedious and a lot of my friends especially find that little things that we would just shrug off can start to be irritating..maybe we are just grumpy old men now.
By and large Thail has changed like most countries and not for the better and as the economic crisis gets worse, and it will, the foreigners will be the politicians easy scapegoat.
There are exceptions but generally the odds are stacked against foreigners.Most Thais think Covid19 will get worse because if foreigners. The Internet is littered with stories of families abusing the goodwill of foreigners, have Thai friends who are fed up with their families who see darang ad ATM's nothing more.
