Thanks for the welcome . Sorry I should have said in my opening post that I have been residing in Thailand for several years now after retiring from England . But I still have some Thai related puzzling questions to be asked that just make me scratch my head roll my eyes and Tut . I wonder if its only us British that do that . Roll their eyes and make the tutting sound

I assure you whipper that as an old fart who has lived and worked here for some 25 years and married with children that even now questions I ask or am asked indeed make me scratch my head and roll my eyes and make tutting sounds.Truth be known it adds to the delights of living here, albeit in a macabre sort of way.

I some times get to meet other expats who have been residing in Thailand like you self for many years . The one thing that springs to mind when hearing that they have been residents in Thailand for a very long time is this . What is it that holds them there what is it that acts as an antidote to what seems an ever increasing downward spiral of negativity , the daily Thai news awash with more and more crime and corruption . The blood soaked roads and crazy junta decisions . The endless news articles proclaiming that Thailand now holds the top position in yet another list of shame. Personally even after my relativity short period of time as a resident , I now try not to look at the Thai news as its become so depressing and frustrating . It only gets me going and stressed out .
