Why do so many expats visit Thailand or live in Thailand and think they are experts on everything Thai?
The last person in the world I would ever take advice from in Thailand is an expat. I would always ask my own people.
There are a lot of expats in Thailand that you hope you never meet or run into.
They are just that bad.
Sex-mongers, drunks, illiterates, abusers, bullies, you name it.
Expat sites are full of these types.
Their one response is always wherever they are is the best place in Thailand.
Huh?
Most expats have never been out of the city or tourist areas and know very little about the real Thailand.
Trying to get advice from them is like pulling out your own teeth.
Many are just instigators that have no knowledge or desire to help out or assist others and hurl abusive comments around.
I think one of the reasons my husband wants to live in Isaan is to be far away from all these types.
All it takes is one holiday to a tourist area to be reminded now low class the majority of these expats are.
If you think you are going to move to Thailand and have a bunch of world class friends, think again.
These types are not to be trusted and associated with.
If a person moves all the way to Thailand and is living with next to nothing, watch out.
