  1. One day, hopefully soon, there will come a time when you look into the mirror and say to yourself: "I am Captain Steve. What do I want to do in this phase of my life?" You'll then realize that it may be a better idea to retire and enjoy the latter years of your life in peace and away from any pipe dreams of investment schemes.
  2. We are living right next to the Bang Nara river bank, but see absolutely no reason to worry. The town is usually safe from flooding.
  3. Don't blame Prayut. It all started when the British divided the area in 1909. And the current person who bears the most blame is Thaksin. Hopefully he won't be back in office. Ever.
  4. Allah is God. Same god, different name. Glory to Allah if you will.
  5. According to the latest news, three brave souls have returned to The Lord Your God already. Check Bangkok Post for example.
  6. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. Alhamdulilah.
  7. Places like Pak Phanang, Ranod and Saiburi, all on the Gulf coast, may be what you're looking for.
  8. Is this actually considered news? I live in the State of Narathiwat and it's been like this for as long anyone can remember.
  9. Bitcoin and other cryptos are all basically worth zilch. It is money created out of nothing and has nothing valuable to back it up.
  10. I have lived in Narathiwat for over six years now, and this was the first explosion in town since I moved here. It's not exactly a daily occurrence. This was one of those waking up moments, when you realize the violence is still a reality. As a farang I have no fear of being attacked for who I am, but I acknowledge how fragile we are as people. One time of being in the wrong place is all it takes.
  11. Very sad news indeed. I work at a stone's throw away from those apartments. I wasn't there at the time, but apparently it was a pretty scary moment.
  12. Be careful of St. Roberts. Their Diploma in Teaching is still not recognized by OHEC, so an actual teacher license is still not guaranteed.
  13. I know absolutely nothing about the test.
  14. Just swim there. Good for the physical condition.
  15. The first question that arose in my mind was: Is this even legal? Imagine a group of farang tourists or expats driving their cars, luxury or not, onto a important road in Patong and just blocking all other traffic from passing there. Where was Betong law enforcement?
  16. Butterworth is a great place for a night or two. Beautiful city with some wonderful architecture and delicious street food.
  17. Tell me about it. In Mueang Nara we get heavy rainfall daily, esp. at night. I've had enough of this rainy season already.
  18. Within six months this ferry with either have sunk or be stuck in the port again. It is destined to fail and simply not financially viable. Mark my words!
  19. Zero-dollar tourists do not buy Porsches or Rolls Royces. No, the rich Chinese have never left Thailand and no way do they transfer all hard-earned baht straight to JXP's personal bank account, or the account of the CCP for that matter.
  20. Pattani and Yala have their rainy season in November - January, so flooding in November is no exception. It's pretty much when it starts.
  21. The OP has long left the building. Bit like talking to a wall now, ain't it? On a side note, 45k a month for a fresh TEFL'er seems to be reaching a bit (very) high, especially in the sticks of the E-Sarn region.
