but we control the world. Not sure about low pay since we are the richest country in the world. But I am happily retired in Jomtien in my late 30s. Made my money and enjoying it in Thailand. But I do habe to agree with you that it is a political shitshow right now.
you obviously have not been around rich and educated Thais. They can pronounce their Rs and they can actually roll their Rs. The Rs are in the Thai alphabet. You have been around too many working class Thais so they substitute the Ls for the Rs. I learned Thai from a bunch of cute educated Thai girls in Bangkok. They can pronounce their Rs and they use Rs in the Thai language.
your weather is not the same as Spain, Italy, south of France, and Greece. Your inflation has gotten worst since you left the EU. My uncle owns over 10 takeaways, he complains about the price increase every time I visit. Also, Thais are not loyal. Good luck with it.
