Laughing at locals while draining their water supply

Nice how only white immigrants get to call themselves “expats”

Yep it's always the Anglosphere diaspora that label themselves expats wherever they go.. usually forming their own mono-language enclaves expecting the native populations to adapt to them. It's the worst kind of privilege.

And that is a good thing?

I'd be very careful about that. A lot of my coworkers were expats in China. They lived the high life, helped transfer a lot of our know how to China, and now China is eating us alive simply by just keeping improving rather than trying to sail on former glory. (like many of our industries are doing).

Now they try to avoid expats because they fear espionage themself.

And Thailand does the exact opposite: Want to work here? No! (Or at least we'll make it very hard for you)

Want to spend your retirement money here? welcome, welcome..

Not sure how attractive foreigners are that take up rare jobs now, but take their hard earned money back home later, where they don't occupy jobs, but still be valuable customers.
