    Sounds like my Thai wife. We first lived in Bangkok 5 years together before moving to Sweden 29 years ago. I want to retire in Thailand but she will never move back there. We visit relatives in ChiangRai once or twice per year. That’s enough she says!? She also has her own business that pays for a comfortable life here. She also refere to the lack of openness in Thailand as the main reason. And we have two grown up sons that have good lives here. Both of them are dual citizens and spent a few years in Thailand to explore the possibilities there, both opted to stay in Sweden

    What a great interview! It's so true what k. Ranee said about learning the local language as this is the foundation of integrating into the culture of the country. I do wish the foreigners that live here in Thailand would follow her example and learn the language.

    Brilliant Interview!. I m from North eastern Thailand like her. I feel the same way as i don't feel I can fit in with Thai ways of thinking and culture anymore. You cant say something, you are forced to say only nice things in particular topics, to particular group of people, you have to be a people pleaser even you think differently deep inside you.
    If you don't, your life won't go far. Very happy living in Australia atm, more open-minded society. Of course not everyone is open-minded or good like everywhere else in the world but it doesn't affect me at all as i choose not to worry about them, just focus on good people and your own positivity. I find that Many people here are taking things for granted because they don't grow up in a disadvantaged background in country like Thailand where the struggle is a lot harsher. For me, Australia is the land of opportunities, you just need to work hard , be smart on how you live and spend, show your capabilities, skills, good ethic, honesty to people who you work for and work with. Then, opportunities will arise . You definitely can move up your social status easier than living in Thailand. Social structure is fairer and a lot less corruptions. Nowhere is perfect either Australia or Thailand. Life is short and you choose to live where you can fit in and enjoy your lifestyle the most. Thailand also has many good things and i may go back to live in Thailand again to fullfill my responsibilities in the future but for now i love where I live. 😊

      It is different. You are granted with the right for freedom of speech the day you were born. While Thai people have to be careful of what they say in public, until they secure citizenship in a western country. Thai culture, like many Asian cultures, is authoritarian.

      @emptyemptiness8372 คุณพูดถูกนะ และรู้สึกประทับใจที่คุณเข้าใจบริบทในประเทศไทย ถ้าการจะขายอาหารต้องยุ่งยาก ต้องการเอกสารมากมายแบบในประเทศตะวันตก คนไทยที่มีรายได้ต่ำ ความรู้น้อย จะช่วยตัวเองได้อย่างยากลำบาก เวลาตกงาน อาชีพค้าขายโดยเฉพาะการขายอาหารอยู่หน้าบ้าน หรือตระเวณขายตามตลาดนัดทั่วไป มันอาจจะเป็นช่องทางแรกที่สามารถหาเงินช่วยเหลือตัวเองก่อนจะได้งานอื่น พวกเค้าอาจจะไม่ประสบความสำเร็จแต่ก็มีโอกาสได้ลอง นี่อาจจะเป็นเหตุผลอันหนึ่งที่ทำให้ในประเทศไทยมีร้านขายอาหารมากมาย
