What is (or was) your profession or occupation?
Gandtee replied to Paulaew's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
When I left school my first job was mucking out the bottom of Cuckoo clocks, I then went on to cutting corks to fit flies rectums. Both on the advice of my father who got fed up with me asking him what I should do when I grew up. Sadly I never grew up. ???? -
In the 1980s I got caught on the 90 day exit tax at Dong Muang, near midnight. After a five hour drive from Sattahip. No motorways then. At immigration I paid my bt500 for overstay and was then told to go to the tax office the next day. Fortunately my wife was still outside departures. She contacted her brother, a local top cop who arrived and persuaded them to fine me and let me go, just as my luggage was about to be off loaded. The officers had added up my previous visits??? The mysteries and surprises of the Orient.? Those were the days.????

I certainly didn't begrudge paying for them. It was always a pleasure for me to take the kids on trips, but it's the principle of the thing. -

That fell on deaf ears. Ah well.
