The reason Thai expats say bad things about Cambodia is because they purchased a house in bumfuck Issan with some Thai skank who was a former BJ queen of Nana plaza (and put in her name) and now the can't leave without losing everything.

I've never really felt there was a real "expat circle" in Thailand compared to Cambodia.
Maybe because there's such a diverse blend of folk from all corners of the world, and you can't easily tell who is the owner of a bar/restaurant/hotel/other enterprise and who is some passing through tourist as they aren't allowed to work in their own businesses (pathetic state of affairs imo).
And also, when I go to Thailand I'm either going to meet Thai folk for business related reasons or to attend some sporting event or whore it up, not to meet some purple faced hoarse johns in a shithole on Sukhumvit, that charges $7 for shit draft, who talk in pattaya slag speak and bitch about how "better" their holidays were in the 1980's.

Extremely.
Thailand, population ~70M. Currently with CV 161 (0.00023%), currently serious/critical condition is 61 out of the 161, which leaves just 100 sick with CV but not (0.00014%), and in the past four months 55 people have died from or with CV (0.000079%).
Be it sick now, total dead in 4 months, or total sick and recovered over 4 months (3000 which is 0.0042%), none of the numbers are even 1%, nor 1/10th of 1%, nor 1/100th of 1%. The govt has shut the country yet 99.99% of the population was never even sick.
Scam you ask - I'll use the words evil, criminal, gross ignorance and stupidity, and that's for a country's government of which I am not even a citizen. Ask me what I think of CV in the ussa - no don't pls, I don't have the time the rest of today to write.
Cambodia is what, almost 17M population and worldometers.info is showing 2 active cases and 0 deaths BTW.

Just look at the mods on CEO, vs. (the lack of mods) on the Thai sites. Look at the (mostly) interesting discussions on CEO vs. the flame wars/chest beating on the others. Then decide who is the more welcoming.
But please take my opinion with a grain of salt. I am the eternal (not anymore) traveller to the Kingdom of Wonder and the one time tourist to Thailand.

Because they are British. Mustn't grumble.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing your window for a friendly bit of banter might have closed when you insisting on repeatedly asserting that his friend was being buggered in prison.Marty wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 9:18 amIt is a scientifically proven fact that both Cambodia and expats in Cambodia consistently rank at the very highest levels.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:11 am I think it is a really dumb argument and anyone who engages in it is a fool.
Cambodia and expats in Cambodia are obviously far superior. everybody knows that.

Whether you're an expat in Thailand or Cambodia, just be glad you didn't settle in Vietnam. Most long-term expats here lost the plot years ago. Too much bia hoi maybe...
And whatever you do, don't go to Laos.
