Actually, one of the few things I looked forward to, coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Man I hear that, cant wait to get back home next week and pull my cars outa storage, although I do like being able to do 100+ mph down the highway in Thailand and not even have to think about speed cameras! I spose thats one thing we dont contemplate buying here, unless we are big company expats or real long termers, is a car. Its taken Stick over 5 years to really become permanent, and buy a car, its a big issue as noone wants to get stuck having to sell something so valuable when leaving a country after only a couple of years..

Guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 and where might the ONE place be that you CAN find all these intangibles Obviously it is a matter of degree. And I believe it is equally obvious that no place does a perfect job of securing these intangibles. But that is not the point. The point is that Thailand is very weak on these intangibles compared with "Farangland", which I take to be a short-hand expression for the West. Although the U.S. is far from perfect and I take issue with many of its policies, it is much stronger on providing these intangibles than Thailand. These intangibles are the sorts of things that Farangs - or at least this Farang - don't miss or even notice at first, but after awhile here you start to take notice of these sorts of things. You also begin to appreciate how important they are and miss them. Hence, my response to the question about what I miss most about Farangland.

New Petchburi Pete Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Montydog, ... perhaps a little history lesson is in order. There are lots of Irish & Italians in Boston! ... somehow, they manage to 'cope' with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 [color:"red"] Irish pubs are only found in Ireland [/color] Well not really, if they were in Ireland the word "Irish" would be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
