Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Looks very nice indeed. But why now alone, where has your therapist gone?
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Honest truth, these days always feels like being alone. Don't wanna meet people. Even going office lesser time, just wanna get out quickly.
