My friend reminds of this younger Singaporean guy who also went to Thailand ...but this guy stays in private landed property which is like a fantasy dream in Singapore...People don't even are to dream of this.

 He stayed for a few yrs then sold it to go to Thailand 6 yrs ago.

He arrived on Tuesday for the CNY and called  up a few  secondary schools.friends for a gathering.

He got married in Thailand and has a daughter. He told us he managed to get a sales job for an export company. He now stays in 4 bed room condo in the Bangkok Sukumvit(?) area and drives a Toyota Camry. His tone was like he made it big in Thailand already. He showed us pictures of his home, condo  pool his car and pretty wife. 

The rest of us also updated  how were  doing in Singapore but none of us drove car or lived in condo. 

He also said when he got sick his company wiould send him to private hospitals for treatment and he only went private clinics with ang moh doctors. 

In my mind I was thinking really so good? Thailand had protests everywhere, govt unstable, covid was a disaster. Must be just showing off and hiding all the hardship to impress us.

We talked about our secondary school days and all the silly things we did all the pretty girls...didn't know what happened to them and teachers are all so old now retired or dead. 

So much to talk about we adjourned after dinner to go and drink beer at a coffee shop. After a few beers,  everyone  talked like those old uncles with so many  stories. Who fought with who in secondary school..who go vandalise the toilet. ...

After that had to take taxi back. Friend who came back from Thailand was in same direction as me so we shared a cab back. I was to be dropped off first. So as the taxi made its way through my old HDB estate, he sat up and looked out the window at the old flats. Then he said to me, to make your Singapore dreams come true, you should try going to Thailand.

This is Nothing news All along, your friend is the so call " the later batch of Singaporeans move and stay in Thailand " .

I think next few years you want to go " might be even harder " Things always like this. Those Dare to Explore first , if lucky will strike and Profit A LOT than those people who later follow behind.

I already see quite a lot Singaporean move and stay in Thailand as PR. Not totally give up their Singaporean Citizen.

and Yes , standard either stay in Condo OR landed house with a small swimming pool.

And yes, Drive a car. Quite standard.


Nope, don't be fool by " Mainstream Media always show Protest, riot of other countries and BS A LOT here whereas come our Govt in SG. "

Protest , Riot ? SO ? End of the day the country still move forward . Thailand tourism in fact perform Better than SG if you don't know even despite Covi19.

Thai people also lead the life just like us , every day. Even those poor ones still ok, partly Temples in Thailand quite a lot , got do quite a lot donation drive to give free foods to those poor and needy ones.

It is not necessary to travel around the world when one retires, but should travel when young cos you will have the energy to enjoy the sights and sounds of the world.... Clapping Laughing
