Hahaha... ... ewww...

With you. I'm going to add my "opinion," too, and just say that in addition to degenerate, disillusioned expats, everybody there--expat and local--only wants to know you for what's in it for them. I wouldn't even be surprised if Brian is touting Pattaya because he's part of some bar down there.

@Aake *********

BS.

@Iliyan **********

Regularly cracks down on remote workers? Yeah right.

@Lincoln ******

I'm not talking about missing pizza. I get what you're saying. I'm talking about those dismissing a budget of 50k. Those talking about rents along upwards of 100k. It does not take years of assimilation, though. Some can cook at home most nights (or eat out but eat local), make do in a 30-40m2 room and generally live reasonably well but on a budget from the get go. I agree with having "balance."

@Av *********

You are correct. Some expats are physically in Thailand but that's it. They blow far too much money on Western food, booze, gated communities, satellite television subscriptions and whatnot, not fathoming that anyone else can live comfortably without recreating a Western bubble around oneself.

@Andreas ********

You learned nothing and have nothing to share. Just anger and jealousy.

@Andrew *********

You've nailed him. 💯 He's pulling his hair out of his head he's so enraged OP dares to give it a go or that anyone supports OP. Has zero business smarts, to boot.

@Andreas ********

You're full of yourself and a miserable deadender. Your misery needs to see others fail. Have another cup of misery and chase it with your cheap beer. The rest of us are enjoying life. 🍾

@Andreas ********

Nah. He's an entrepreneur starting out and asking questions. And after initially providing worthwhile information, now you're showing your true colors. Just because you're bitter and wish you could preach down to people. You've got nothing.
