This posting has really made my day!
I'm an X pat, recently relocated to PrakhonChai.
It's good to read the comments made by a Thai national, about Thai's nationals.
It's also good to read that the lady in question takes care of the money and understands that many X pats are not just ATM's.
X pats provide much needed currency to a country such as Thailand. X pats standards are so much higher and that is very apparent, but still most X pats are treated in a very unjust way. I'm a person, not just the golden Goose that lay the golden egg. It would be nice if I could be treated with some respect and not with contempt!
Where do Thai's think X pats get their money from? I worked most of my life and very hard for my savings. I came to Thailand to support my son, but lost my home in Ubon and son because my X Thai partner and family decided that I was not good enough for her. I was cheated out of a lot of money and treated like an idiot.
Going back to the subject of Thai workers. I had many problems whilst living in the past, with workers not turning up for work, or late. Taking it upon themselves to do what they thought was right, when in fact it was the wrong thing to do and then expecting payment. The list goes on. I found that in the end, I ended up having to make good most of the bad workmanship that was carried out!
I am now very reluctant to purchase land and build another home, only to have to go through the bad experience yet again! NO THANK YOU!
Thai nationals should be more aware that things do not stay the same forever and that X pats may just leave Thailand?
I stay for my son but it's a daily battle!!!!
