All long-term expats develop a love-hate relationship with the country. By living here continuously I have an insight to many matters that the short-time tourist (no pun intended) doesn’t. All in all life is pretty good here for us but there are many things that stink and I have taken it upon myself to make readers of this forum aware of these matters. Hopefully you can do something about it. If enough people tell their local Thai consulate or travel agent – “Hey what are these stories I hear about…?” Then perhaps some good will come from it.
