Reading some great books last month on psychology by Dr Wayne Dyer I was sitting at a Thai food place today , a older gentleman sitting at the next table. They bring him his food ,he takes a bite and says to the waitress this is not pork She responded, No have ,mai mee He looked at me " this is Thailand, they don't have it they bring something else ,I can't eat it I looked at him "well ask for something else and stop becoming a victim ! Next story involved me I ordered a BOLT car to my favourite bookshop The fare was like 79b A taxi pulls up ,he said I'm your bolt I get in and he tries to make me his victim I only get 47b from this ride ,I need to charge you more money I said ,I'm not your victim , it's not my responsibility to pay you more it's Bolt's ,next time don't accept the job ! And many farangs are victims "You tip me ok said the waitress to me at the now defunct Jomtien fish n chip shop You tip me Darling I said I'm not your victim !!

Yes it seems every restaurant is on the fish and chips now I thought going to a specialist place would be better but it may make no difference

Whats the difference? I'm currently in test ethanate monthly You saying this cypionax lasts longer!

I remember then ,did you have vinegar on it in the UK? I know the English like this mushy peas something I don't like

Is that the best

Where is it ???

I didn't think to look yesterday at Tinnies , I know they sold burgers but not sure with the beetroot ,egg etc Now you making me hungry

I didn't think I could compare it It's much smaller Far more Korean men. Much more ...how do I describe it...not as clean Constant beeping of horns ..I have no idea why Filipinos have a thing for blowing their horns

It's only 8am and I feel like fish n chips today May I ask is there any place that sells the potato scallops? Similar to the Aussie type I went to a wonderful place yesterday called Tinnies pies that sold wonderful pies but the impeccable service and cleanliness of the place was what I describe in my wonderful words of wisdom as .... beautiful. But I'm after a genuine if I may use that word...in fact the word "specialist" ....or maybe another word to describe a place who only sells fish n chips I did see Sharples in Jomtien yesterday,it didn't appear to have any customers Many if you recall in your fine years far far long ago we had Simon's , we had the Jolly ..Roger ? Fryer? What happened to the British fish and chip shop?

It certainly makes sense

You didn't like the Laos people? Why not ?

For a man who only joined the forum a few months ago you seem to "know it all "

Never been but dragging it down ?😳 How do you know you wouldn't like some parts of the Philippines?

Omg 😳 I sincerely hope there was no violence I heard and I may be wrong but older Asian men culture, I must ask if it's similar to the Dalai Lama? Tongue with a boy Is that Asian old culture???

For a start that Foodland at Jomtien is far more expensive than ALDI Deodorant, Axe 129 baht compared to Australia 80 baht , other things vitamins ,cheese ,sliced ham ,tuna cans are $1 -40b in Australia all more expensive in Thailand Milk, bread,coffees same price as Australia I don't want to get off topic here but some food prices are cheaper in Australia,maybe it's just the location being Jomtien

Strange that the UK recognises Philippines for UK pensioners but not Thailand and I doubt they will change that ,too much $$$ to lose As for Philippines I was just listening to a pommy guy in YouTube channel Speaking of Asia who lived in Thailand and now lives in Philippines because of the pension situation. He says supermarket is more expensive in the Philippines than Thailand !! But....Look to tell you the truth I have found some of the supermarket prices here in Thailand more expensive than ALDI in Australia!

Yes I recall that too I do watch Duamagette YouTubers such as Paul in the Philippines and Everyman has a story

Duamagette has a airport....maybe they are calling it different on Skyscanner? But I want to go there Maybe I can go Bangkok to Cebu is that possible?

The constant beeping of horns for no reason in Cebu City annoyed me. I actually went out to the 711 one morning at 3am and about to cross the road when I seen a guy in a convertible no roof on beep his horny continually , not a single other car around ...but they are programmed in their mind to constantly...beep ! So as I was walking across the road I stopped and told him. There's no other cars around why are you bloody beeping your horn? You stupid C

Baguio close to the mountains so not hot and very diverse , have different events and parades every year .

You like Mactan island, I did too

No I don't think so I think it's a few hours flight I tried to use Skyscanner to see flights from Manila to Duamagette if anyone can help me ,I can't seem to find flights

I do enjoy General Santos city Went there last year as well as Davao city ,so safe I'm yet to try Duamagette though I didn't enjoy Angeles City And I don't like Cebu City

I went there last year in July. I didn't like it except there was a nice pink & white cafe at the end of the Walking street I used to frequent. I didn't like it . I do like north of there in Baguio though

I was at Canterbury Tales bookshop in Pattaya yesterday, a lovely place where a great range of books are available And the owner Dave is a fantastic listener who sat there hours recently to listen to my book reviews on data analyst and the psychometrics of statistics. But anyway I did speak to a farang who had been in Pattaya a number of years who was moving to the Philippines A lot of UK guys are moving there he said , their pensions don't get frozen ! There's going to be mass exodus from Thailand and the only place for us poms is the Philippines! So the story goes , apparently they get their pensions frozen Where are they moving according to statistics, Duamagette Thus hearing this needs and compiling data I have decided maybe next week to head to Duamagette No idea how to get there though So may I ask anyone here considered the Philippines or may I ask ,you are there NOW ?
