You should all show more respect to the owner of this forum.

No whining from me, I'm very happy with my full Brit pension.

I'd be more worried about her waiting to make calls when I can't hear them.

All BS, more to do with Europe being broke after 2 years of staying at home. Can't see it getting any better in the near future either.

stopped listening to these anti-white racists as soon as my Thai was good enough to realise what they were saying.

I would say it's their culture and really poor education, when you are told your entire life you are the best at everything in the world and should never be questioned, then you encounter foreigners that are almost all more knowledgeable and generally better educated, something has to give.

I have adblockers and never see any adverts, except those in the middle of FB videos, then I just move on.

You missed the put down Bob, he has Thai friends. Personally, I've never met a Thai I considered worthy of my friendship, dullest and most ignorant men in the world. Don't get me wrong, I like the Thai girls, it's just the men that are a dead loss, not to mention dangerous.

I tend to mind my own business.

I've been drinking the tap water in CM for the past 10 years. Still alive so it must be OK.

Thanks, At the moment hoping the collarbone will heal on its own. Waiting for the 5 week mark to see if it needs surgery. Worst bit about the broken ribs is having to sleep flat on my back. Anything else results in severe pain. Cuts and scabs all healed now, but plenty of deep blue bruises on my foot, hip, ribs, elbow and shoulder.

I've got google home voice automation everywhere. Turns on my lights/TV/sockets, my son asks it for spellings and for help with his homework. Why would I care if it's listening all the time, nothing much of interest spoken in my home?

Here ya go, I got one too ........ Essentially the new forum software has been flooding my email server with 'spam' notifications until someone decided to bounce all the junk. If I explore further into my account settings ............

I came for a week's holiday in 2009, went back and gave all my stuff away, and have been living here ever since.

Top north guesthouse not expensive, in the middle of everything, nice swimming pool.

British Empire dude ....... It counts!

Chicken Jalfrezi and Naan bread. Butter, Madras, Korma, Masala are just as good.

A Thai man tried to kill me exactly 3 weeks ago.

My misses is pals with a very expensive lawyer who lives down the road from us. She says let my wife do everything on her own, unless the outcome looks unsatisfactory, in which case she will step in. My misses is a local social activist, knows everyone worth knowing, involved in everything, so she's in a position of power. Early stages at the moment, police still waiting on a hospital report from the doctor. Not much point in me seeing the police, all I can say is 'something hit me'.

I always stay at the Garden Village Guesthouse and Pool bar, about 100m from Pub street. rooms were around $10/night, great swimming pool with attached bar serving food and drinks 24/7. Mix of young and old people staying there, dorm rooms for the backpackers. Everyone very friendly and we all mixed well.

Small update 3 weeks after the event. Seen the hitters police report, he admits to following me and running me down because my bag knocked his car. Police have photos of his car smashed all down the left side from him ramming me ...... what a tool. Wife is off to his insurance company this aft to discuss compensation for my pain, suffering and injuries. As for me, Most of the cuts and scabs have now fallen off. Lots of muscle damage, blue right foot, blue right shoulder hip and elbow, knee painful, hip doesn't work properly so hard to walk. I can just about get around the inside of the house by myself, up and down stairs. Feeling a lot more hopeful of a full recovery now, even if it is still 1 or 2 months away.

No foreigners in my MooBaan, hardly any foreigners in my local area either. I'd suggest moving out of the foreigner ghetto.

Been many times, always enjoyed it. Always booked a hotel with a pool right in the middle of the entertainment area. It's worth the extra money for a morning and afternoon swim every day, and a nice walk down the promenade in the early morning.

I'm here for the entertainment, and Bob provides plenty of that.

Women are for sex and childbirth, men are for friendship and sporting activities. If you don't try and mix the two, you won't get so disappointed.
