I'm just back after a 2 weeks trip to visit family and friends in Norway. It was nice to see my family again, but the major thing was that it made me realize why I live in Thailand and a reminder for me to appreciate it more.
Things I love about Thailand:
Bum guns 55
Climate
Low taxation
Good health care (fair priced insurances)
Cost of living
Freedom (under responsibility)
Mostly good local people
Expat friends (young at heart despite their age)
My wife (I guess 555)
My job
Easy going lifestyle, no one worries to much
No one cares about what you do (officials or others, at least where I live now)
Easy access to beaches and bitches (at least it's good to know they're there)
Beautiful sea
Was about to say nature, but it wont be fair as it can't beat Norway.
I will add more to the list when it comes to mind. Norway was cold and miserable, and I should have waited until June or July to travel there. It was actually snowing when I was picked up at the airport. Temperatures between 1 and 15 C. Family and food was the highlights of my trip.
My list is pretty much based what I missed in Norway and found here............So easy to say I'm a happy chap to be back in LOS.
