The protagonists of the report are Piotr, who owns a house in Krabi and has been living in Thailand for 17 years, and Rafał, who has been permanently based in Bangkok for 14 years. Both work in the tourism industry, speak Thai fluently, have blended into Thai society, and have no plans to return to Poland. Yet they still remember their homeland — they organize gatherings with fellow Poles and occasionally visit the country.
