Prosecution councilor. "I give you exhibit 'A'. A photo of the offending feet"
Judge. "Defence council, do you have anything to add?"
Defence council. "Nothing to add m'lud"
Judge. "I find the defendant guilty of committing the heinous crime of wearing socks and sandals and sentence you to 5 years imprisonment for breaking all the rules regarding common decency and taking naffness to a new level".

Why Thailand expats are grumpy


Well yes and no is my answer too the subject of this post .. I find it is a very individual scenario to post a bias frank thread "why are all expats so grumpy" would it be fair too say you can run away from home but you can't run away from you heart?... There are some decent Expats who just want a quite life in the land of smiles who have moral educated backgrounds hence the the financial funds etc etc However flip side there are the complete idiots who live beyond their means burn their bridge back to their country of origin also more importantly meet the wrong soul mate and can't accept the different culture etc etc etc moral of the story if you see a grumpy looking farang he deserves to look grumpy lol Come on open you mind and eyes there are some good guys out there!!! \:D/

Wise words from “Scissor-mouth”… Thank you for you insight…

After reflecting on my O.P… I would like to add happiness can be found in all of us… if your feeling blue… put on a happy face and whistle a happy song… just like Michael Palin in his song at the end of the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian”…. “Always look on the bright side of life”... :-"
There is no one answer to finding happiness here as we all are different…

What would make me happier…?? New socks and underpants…! :lol:

well yes it comes as a automatic reply to your question fact is in the Land Of Smiles it's always wise too take a step back and ponder of moments of clarity rather than rush head long into any given situation.I have come to the conclusion for ever decent moral Expat there tend to a whole group of in my opinion wasters . There are decent moral educated people in every given race however Thailand does tend too collect quite a few wasters hence the overall grump look but not all bad i have meet some smashing well moraled polite educated Farangs in Udon so lets all try too smile abit more .... \:D/
