    Went to KFC today to buy lunch for me and my kid. 2 Zinger burgers @69bht each, no change as I pay by scan.

    I'm a real certified teacher retired from teaching high school in the UK. Never taught in any Thai schools .................. but most of the foreign teachers I've encountered in Thailand wouldn't be allowed anywhere near kids in the UK.

    It always made me happy!

    I only read books written by male native English speakers, and none written by the overtly religious. Publishers often try to disguise books written by women by only using their initials, so those are also to be avoided. No need to use bookshops, Z Library has everything for free.

    How do you find 'good quality fiction'? These days everything written seems to be low quality, factually incorrect and full of errors. I'm still in my son's life, he's 12 and I'm near enough your age.

    Reading novels tops my list, currently working through on the 'Jack Reacher' series ....... about 20 books .... 10 own. The rest of my time I just waste watching movies and listening to music. Been retired for nearly 25 years, still happy enough.

    LTRs are hard for all men, as women are never satisfied. Short Time is much easier for the rich and famous, but they face accusations later. You're confusing the two!
  8. BritManToo
    You're probably not suited to teaching if you find it this hard.

    My cycling pal is a retired Thai teacher, he gets 50kbht/month pension. After 30 years teaching English, he can't speak a word!

    One that doesn't try to talk to me when I'm out and about!

    Thai food ain't that great, been here 14 years and hardly ever eat Thai food. Yesterday, German buffet brunch, day before I made pizza, today will be gammon steak and chips ........... Chiang Mai is a great place for buying foreign food, and what you an't get locally you can order from Lazada. I'm with Queen Victoria 'make the whole world Britain'!

    Disagree, Even Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Johnny Depp, Brad Pit and Paul McCartney can't keep one happy. So what chance do us normal guys have?

    Back in the UK I did 5hr teaching and 45mins home room per day. Lesson prep almost nothing, admin almost nothing. No competent teacher wasted 2hrs lesson prep on a 1hr lesson.

    15hrs a week doesn't seem that demanding to me, and I assume she does the snack bar to extort a bit more from the kids.
  15. BritManToo
    60% of Thais don't speak Thai as their first language, Thailand doesn't have a homogeneous population.
  16. BritManToo
    Me too for 14 years, but I've not 'invested' my future in her, and she's essentially instantly replaceable by another one younger and prettier. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but I could love a different one (if required). 33% of the OP pals leaving where "Thai girl done me wrong", never base your life around trusting one woman.

    If your dream (and finances) is based around one single Thai lady, it's more likely to become a nightmare.

    It's ok for us old folk that don't do much of anything anymore. .... As is Chiang Mai .......

    How about a Vessel 'pod', they have some of these at a lake near MaeJo golf ourse. https://www.vesseluk.co.uk/product/vessel-s5/

    How about our right to not be told what to do by hypocrites?
  21. BritManToo
    Cooking, cleaning, sex and a bit of laundry.
  22. BritManToo
    Same spread, different location. Nick's photos are of their preCovid place (when it was 190bht).
  23. BritManToo
    I have a KM2+ and it works well. Don't know about 'delux'.
  24. BritManToo
    I've made around 20 mail order purchases and never seen this. The worst I could complain about is small buds in a couple of orders.
  25. BritManToo
    Mine is always 90-100 over 60-70.
