I guess life can go either way though ,just bad luck can play a role where you go ,but I think your right to a certain degree eg you choose which path to take in life

They were not bodybuilders ! It was 2012,those 2 young Pommy guys attacked me that same afternoon! I wrote a thread on it They were young thugs on a 2 week trip from the UK , actually it was 3 that approached me One was wanted in the UK over attacking a disability pensioner at a bus stop They saw me in walking street and asked what I was staring at before heading off apparently to cause trouble at the market stalls I had done nothing wrong as I was walking past but caught their eye ,that was in the early afternoon

I spoke to a farang recently in Pattaya near the Nirun Condo building. I said " are you nearly retired ? He said " mate I'm only 49 He looked 65 He knew what I was thinking He said "mate ,I have had a hard life " 12 years in jail ! 8 kids to 8 different mothers ! Construction Labor work ,drinking ,smoking ! What about you ? Has life been easy or hard .did you have a hard manual job ? Jail? Divorce? Gambling? Recession? What about those who did shift work? One week day ,one week night ,one week afternoon like a nurse or a police , how would they make you age or workl like a carpet layer ,

Now you hail a baht bus going to Jomtien, you are the only one in it. Just after that overhead bridge up the hill going ( don't know the name) but has small soccer sports court under it. The bus stops for 6 indian guys , they talk to him and jump in the back. He jumps out and approaches you as you sit in the back and says they are going in a different direction and tells you to pay 10b for that short ride, and can catch another one. Do you pay the 10 baht and jump out ?

Sounds a bit discriminatory, but as Nirun residents don't read ASEAN forum , who cares ????

Not actually correct You actually " value ' your items more if you have one of each item Give you an example,today I threw all my tea towels out and kept one ! Couldn't be bothered taking them down the lift to the garbage room so just threwvthem all out the window! Now I have kept ONE coloured tea towel and hung it on the stove . I have washed it and iron it neatly folding it up and hanging it in the stove railing ready for use

Ever since I have come back from Pattaya I have spent my non working days "decluttering" I have gone over every drawer chucking out stuff I don't need I have absolutely no idea why but I dreamed when I was in Pattaya that's the very first thing I will do when I get home to Australia Even I didn't want to throw my old clothes out and I hesitated so I just threw it out the window on my level 32 balcony here in Sydney Australia ,I have no idea where it landed and I don't care ,it's out of my life ! My dream eventually is to sell up and move to a small 1 house in isaan in the country side Thailand and have no clutter to live as a minimalist , not even a fridge Just a mat on the floor , a small drawer and not even a tv How many of you live in cluttered rooms full of junk

Well that all depends on where the gym is in Pattaya and you make a great point about exactly who the customers will be .

How did you walk out and leave?

Yes , it's not easy living on a pension there and no free medical. If you have low cost housing in NZ then obviously you are not going to give that up -
Is it really more fun in the Philippines?
georgegeorgia replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yes people here have only been to Manila & Angeles City and come back with a negative opinion about the Philippines!!! I it was terrible they say,nothing like Thailand in which most mean Pattaya . Stay away from Angeles City and head to Cebu , Boracay,Palawan , Duamegette,Baguio -
