Feeling nostalgic tonight/this morning, so I thought I'd wade in. You don't mind, do you?
I miss:
Logic
(the concept of) Customer service
TV
People with some form of critical thinking
Real food
The ability to complain
Books
Staff who can do their jobs
So anyway, feel free to add your own...

There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
Rayong
chaotic Asian traffic
indecipherable banter
thunderstorms and lightning
Bravo Company
A good list. I'll remove TV and add a theatre. One with English films, any film with English subtitles. I miss the art house cinemas.
Along the same lines: symphony, plays, concerts, art shows, museums.

Being part of a family. A fucking real family, way more valuable than blood relations.
I miss it, but not in a negative way. Life moves on. That's what makes it fun.

About half the stuff Willie misses, especially interesting people.
I don't miss my Mum. That's weird 'cos I loved her to bits - but I've not 'missed' her since she died. That was a real surprise, a good surprise, because I thought I'd be wrecked. She's sort of always there all the time, if you get my drift,
Nice trick, Mum!

What is your definition of a whore?
Because in Thailand you are expected to be a man and provide..... I think.
Paying money for sex is not the same as

Cheer up WB...even whores can be romantic
---Update---
yes...and for the family...either go along with it and enjoy the ride...or go back to a western woman...but before you do...ask why did you like a Thai woman in the first place?
Thai women or western women, eh? Your world is small.

Yes, that's pretty cynical on its face, IMO. A bit surprising actually.
That said; long term here isn't a walk in the park (so-to-speak) for us westerners. On some levels I can relate to all the posts, but all in, there are many benefits.

and you have found out the exact measure of injustice
and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these
will continue till they are resisted with either
words or blows, or with both.
