@Us ****

You are certainly the kind of person I hope i never meet here in Thailand.

@Us ****

your experience is completely different than mine. I'm really glad I don't live in your world.

You don't need an agent, the language school will be your agent. Call Duke Language School in Bangkok

@Us ****

why are you here if it's broken? Right cause it's so cheap, but you don't have to worry about money. Right. You seem very immature for your late 30's. Perhaps in time the Thai culture will help you grow up.

@Us ****

Freudian projection is a psychological defense mechanism described by Sigmund Freud, where a person unconsciously attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses to another person. This allows them to avoid confronting their own uncomfortable emotions by externalizing them onto others.

It's interesting that you consider my love of this country, my many years of happy life here, my family here, and all the joy this culture has brought to me as an "issue". Meanwhile your experience has been that they only want your money, they will never accept you, and you only live here cause it's cheap.

Seems pretty clear which one of us has an issue.

@Us ****

what issues do you imagine I have? And who said anything about being "accepted as one of their own" or not being farang? I am, indeed, a westerner. Even as a Thai citizen I'm still a westerner. That's fine. Thai citizenship confers many benefits.

I think it might be you who has issues... Your profile claims you live in california, which probably explains your poor attitude. And you spend your time on a Thai website and obviously have a lot of problems with the Thai people, culture, and country.

Perhaps your experience has been different than mine... perhaps it's related to your attitude. I have experienced nothing but love and welcome living here for many years. I have a Thai wife and child, a giant Thai family, and no one at all just "wants my money". My wife's family has plenty of money, they all own businesses.

I think your experience has been very different than mine.

@Us ****

Who the heck wants to be a Thai citizen? I do, for one. And "it's cheap" is not even in my top 20 reasons for being here. I'd live here even if it was one of the most expensive places on Earth.

@Kool ******
