I just had a work colleague go to Germany Munich on holiday ,he got mugged his first night on a railway station , apparently the muggers didn't speak German You must stay away from there

60,000 baht is more than enough for a non drinking man , that's $3000 Australian I don't even spend that in Australia ! I can quite easily live on 40k a month in Pattaya , im sure You don't need to go to Sports bar or expensive cafes everyday I don't even do that in my own country

But you keep replying Jerry Thankyou for your service Sir

Because....life gets boring ...some regrettably retired thinking it was going to be exciting

???what a ridiculous comment He has more than enough , why would he need 10 million baht ?

Oh yes you play golf Do you wear the pink polo shirt and the tight shorts along with the baseball cap and wrist watch?

"Misanthropic" ... beautiful word that I will add to my list At first it sounded like a throat condition """"A misanthropic person tends to avoid social interaction or believes that humans are selfish, corrupt, or disappointing."""' That's me 😅

I worked out ,that if I retire from my job at this time and move to Thailand ( Pattaya) I would be bored and thus continue to live in Australia So I continue to work my Government job and if need be I can transfer to part time 20 hours per week Why ? Because will the " other side of the fence be any greener' if I suddenly retired then moved to Pattaya and rented a condo ?? What would I do all day ?😯 I can go to the gym I guess , bars , massages then what ?? Is it going to be different from Australia? I'm not saying I'm not ruling out retiring to south East Asia whether that be Thailand Vietnam Cambodia etc ..BUT not at this stage of my life , Maybe your ready ,maybe your not But don't just think it's going to somehow be better because your moving to a new country So think about that first ,the "novelty/excitement" soon wears off after a few months of living there ,boredom , not many life goals to achieve , loneliness, sitting all day in a condo , where's your social interaction if you do mix talk with other farangs ? Your going to get fobbed off by thais What are you going to do all day that's different from France? France has free medicare ? France has seniors groups/clubs , you can go to Personally at this stage of my life I can travel there twice a year ,it's more exciting than living in a condo there all day there in Thailand!! The alternative is being locked up in that view talay 2B in Jomtien listening to old people tell me of their sicknesses Of course if you have a real and I say real Thai partner ( that you don't pay to be a regular partner) then it may be worth moving for as you have someone to be with all day The point is , is it going to be any better particularly as you don't want to mux with other farangs.

Omg ! They are most about 80 baht in Australian supermarkets I think Aldi is around 50-60 baht !! Who would pay the equivalent of $10 for biscuits😯when it's only $2-$3 in Australia It's a bit like paying $10 for a Australian meat pie in Jomtien when they are $5 here in Australia ,I mean you have to be desperate to pay $10 for a meat pie 😳😳 Most of the supermarket stuff in Thailand I can get cheaper in Australia

Can't find these in Thailand

Ralfy used to be a Hillbilly so I'm sure he is not exaggerating

Some like yaself are already brain dead ,give them more and they become dangerous

No the lemon tree song was apparently from a German band in 1995 someone last wrote

i think that's a bit personal sweetheart !!

It's possible that's why many expats don't want to know other expats because of fear of asked to do favours Borrowing money ,lending their car , asked to drive them to the airport etc

Yes But the point is... what did he say to Anthony Albanese the Australian PM ?

I believe people have changed,become more selfish and more untrustworthy Do people "value" friendships anymore ? How many times have you done favours for "friends" only for them not to help you

That may be for good luck and shoes a beautiful soul trying to improve rather than impress

Do they eat the wolves and coyotes do you know on the reservation?

I find it absolutely ridiculous when I see farangs trying to "act" thai and much worse when they want other farangs to see On my last trip on North Pattaya beach I saw a very large farang ( who was in pain) squatted down with both feet on the ground so his knees are bent eating rice out of a bowl with what I presume was his isaan girlfriends family I bet he had paid the whisky Anyway he was in that squat position shouting his broken Thai language out to the family so farang passersby could hear so we would be impressed Absolutely ridiculous

Calling the pot kettle black Dan ,calling out someone else's post but we have to read your garbage when you were a Navy Seal ,yeah right in ya dreams .....dude You must be old by using the word "dude " ,that's like 1980's It's now "bro" Dan ...keep up with the times Gramps

Can someone post the Lemon tree song 1995 please This was the song the poor old man was playing laying on his bed in the rundown sad Flybird condominium

Well I'm not too fond of monkeys ,they are violent

Yes that's right He tried to hug me but touched my front pocket where my wallet was and even though I'm not proud of myself my immediate reaction was to push him back which for some reason I didn't even plan it just was a immediate response , he fell over but just the shocked look on his face made me sad , he got up and ran before I could apologise I have to live with that everyday

Oh jealous are we Grandpa ? Just because he had luck and you don't Sitting in your small room listening to Lemon tree song Dont be .....jealous !
