    » Ms Noy’s gonna need some English lessons in order to pass her tests to prove that her command of the language is good enough before being granted her visa. The number of Thai women from the Northeast marrying foreigners is rising every year. Over the past few months, almost 2,000 people have shown...

    • nateswag commented : [quote="gk10002000":2ble3a67]Raywanpan says life in the USA is hard. Well, most less educated Thais I met over in Thailand think that work is easy in the USA. Others expect that their new USA husband will take care of everything. Most grossly over estimate the isolation and communication difficulties they may face. [b:2ble3a67]In general the USA Urban or suburban lifestyle is greatly different than in Thailand. You can't just walk down the street and chat with dozens of Thais.[/b:2ble3a67] If they come to the USA, they may have to work. Two ladies I knew were horribly disenchanted. One took a job in the car manufacturing plant in Ohio. Started at $15/hour that seemed like a lot. She couldn't believe how "mean" the line boss was and how hard she had to work. Minimal breaks, no chatting on the assembly line. Another lady worked in Los Angeles for one year and was stunned how little money they made and the long hours they worked. So many Thais see the Americans over in Thailand on vacatin spending money, and they think we are all big bosses, or independentantly wealthy. In general we are NOT. Some have cheap or minimal Military pensions. Most are still working. Most are divorced, have alimony, child support etc. American has tons of opportunities. If you are young and willing to work and and can communicate, this is one of the countries you can buy things and work your butt off. If you have a wealthy American partner, your material needs may be taken care of. Their are Thai communities here where ethnic or native Thais can get together. The local Wat Thai here in Escondido, north of San Diego Callifornia is a nice place. But day to day you WILL NOT be living as you do in Thailand. Is it better for you? Possibly.[/quote:2ble3a67] There's a large community of Thais in the LA area. I've heard of estimates of 200,000-300,000 in that area and that was years ago. I believe its the largest Thai concentration outside of Thailand. You're very right about how some Thais moving to the west and finding out it's not what they thought. For some it is what they thought if they married a partner with money. I actually know of a Chiang Mai girl that married a rich guy and moved to San Diego. She did well for herself in Thailand but that guy has yachts, exotic cars, mansions etc.

    Medical care in Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 15/02/2007, Last updated on: 13/03/2014

    » So next time you go to Thailand for an holiday or medical care give the Thai people the respect they deserve. Because the nurses or the Hotel staff are mostly much under payed and their home situation is many times not so brilliant. Deal with a genuine courtesy, politeness and respect, and not in...

    • rgrode commented : I have been living and traveling to Thailand for over ten years. I have used the medical system in Thailand many times over the years from dental to fairly complicated surgeries. I really cannot say enough good things about the medical system in Thailand especialy coming from America where generally I cannot say anything good about the medical system. Yes as a Furlong I can afford to go to good hospitals and my wife who is Thai I will only let go to the good hospitals even though medical care is free for Thai citizens at the government hospitals. I have had to go a government hospital because of a emergency and it's not something i would choose to do but have you ever been to an emergency room in America it's also something I would not choose to do and it's completely expensive. The care in a government hospital is not the quality of Bumrungrad in Bangkok or Ram in Chiang Mai but at least it something for the people what do we have in America insane insurance payments with sub standard care. Choose your hospital well and you should have a good experience with the Medical care in Thailand.

    Buying property in Thailand

    » Nothing much to say here is there, i think that IAN has told us all there is to know and believe me.......... .he's right.

    • Anonymous commented : Aussie Dave, I'm surprised that we have found some common ground to agree on. As I have said before Rooster is zenophobic and racist in the extreme. His family buy land in The US and then he castigates anybody who tries to do the same in Thailand. If you want to talk about the stealing of native land. Chiang Mai, were I live, used to be the independant kingdom of Lanna. Those three states in the south which are giving Taksin sleepless nights, were a kingdom stretching back into the past until Thailand swallowed them up. All countries do the same, so don't just see what you want to see Rooster. Come out of your ivory tower dreams of Thai supremacy, "if only all those big bad countries would only leave us alone." As I said in another forum, Thais want all those goodies that come from other countries. How do you aquire them without giving something back? Mr. Taksin climbed the corporate ladder, how? His education: Montfort College (a Christian school), went to a US university and studied crimenology also in the good old US. His Thai silk business didn't make his fortune at all, but mobile phones and international communication did. A man who is thoroughly grounded in western ways. So please stop trying to build a wall around Thailand Rooster. Join us in the 21st Century.
