Expat in Thailand? A 'lucky' one? No visa border runs? Retiree in a blissful land?
Let us take a good look in the mirror...
3 years of none immigrant O retiree visa. All Immigration criteria complied with.
Sole owner-occupier of a beaut condo apartment. Car (new). Appliances. All bought new here, in the Land of Jokes. Let me tell you what is wrong... Everything!
Fridge (Siemens) - RUSTY!
New car's stainless steel parts - RUSTY! (God knows what is inside?)
Chandeliers, gold and chrome plated - RUSTY!
Newly installed aluminium doors and windows - RUSTY!
Apartment in a high rise condominium (over 20 floors) HAS NO FIRE SAFETY! NONE!
( no fire/smoke alarm, no checks on fire extinquishers, no evacuation plans, no emergency lights, no working water-booster pumps for hydrants).
No legal protection for citizens, consumers or foreigners !
No Laws, at least working! They are made here to look like western, than forgotten and broken every step at a time!
Corrosion, corruption, disfunction - everywhere. Bandar-log! Nothing is Real. Only looks like it.
Oh, and, please, do not call me a pessimist. Remember, pessimists are the same people as optimists, just better informed.
Yeass, I know about the Old and New Condo Laws. These people just piss at them. The year is still 2552! This is 543 years behind...
