    I made a 1400 km round trip over the holidays and saw few accidents (fender fenders) nothing serious.

    2 head calls with a 7-11 stop and back on the road again. I don't take notice of a rough ride, now fighting for every inch going through Songkran traffic does get tedious.

    Such a downer, man... Chill

    Ice cream and brownies will do it with whipped cream and crushed Oreos.

    Yep, sure a meal for 3 can cost only 200 thb, but a better place with all seafood dishes can be 500 thb ea. Sure, I could get by on less but that's not within my retirement plans.

    C'mon, Thais love a good kicking. Watch any video of fighting here and you'll always see someone get in a few good kicks.
  7. EVENKEEL
    Not even close on the cost. More like 12 kpl. Maybe 2000 thb for the 700 km run plus I made some smaller trips beforehand. I don't keep tabs, I just buy what I like. So you couldn't make a 700 km run straight through like I did. Enjoy the ride.
  8. EVENKEEL
    5000 rpm ?? More like 2500 rpm, if that much. just did a 700 km run. Doubt you could have kept up.
  9. EVENKEEL
    Cool, but the instant pick-up doesn't compute.

    I like the roar of a 3.0 diesel in my SUV, 700+ km ride on 3/4 tank.
  11. EVENKEEL
    Love it, Tom Yum is good as well but we use more as one of many dishes ordered. Tom kha gai I'll order as a meal.

    My job required flying and a friend from work who was large did just that each time she flew to her job assignment.

    Oh, I "can" live on it but when school fees, car ins and reg., tires and maint., come due I'm caught short at times. It costs to have a do what you want life. Trip to go cart track is 2K baht, eating out is in the 2K range and of course while at the mall spend money on something that catches your eye. Buying clothes for fam. Spend money on the house, some months I save, this month with Songkran I didn't.

    Time to make a move. No place is perfect. Plenty of places within a 30 min drive to Patts to live the quiet life on the beach. Utopia doesn't exist. While I haven't visited all of Thailand, I'd scratch off Isaan. Living close to Patts makes getting to Airports easy, good medical care, malls with nice restaurants and movie theaters and of course a good place to scratch an itch. Either you can afford to retire or you can't.

    I've got around 110K baht/mo and doesn't always cover my expenses for 3 of us with no rent or car payments. I'd be living large as a single guy.

    This is the reason I wouldn't ride the Seahorse with family. Regardless the vessel it's the crew that worries me. Don't think an overnighter to Samui would be carefree.

    How about she's an idiot,

    Different states do it differently. I keep my class A so a bit different. Bottom line is for me keeping my DL is important. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    Subic City was my hangout in the late 70's. No shore patrol or Marshall Law.

    My father worked in a factory till age 71. When he retired he was content to just take it easy. I understand now.
  21. EVENKEEL
    That's a subject that I wonder about. I grew up as an immigrant and working and saving is in my DNA. Passing down properties I own in the US to my kids is important to me. I'd like to leave the next generation in good shape even though they're both doing well on their own.
  22. EVENKEEL
    I agree, thought I was the only one who thought so.
  23. EVENKEEL
    And yet the biden administration wants to blame Trump. I take it you didn't watch Gen Milley testify about the withdrawal.
  24. EVENKEEL
    I've posted the link twice, oh don't tell me you're not aware. Biden is CIC, time for him to accept responsibility for his "miscalculation"
  25. EVENKEEL
    I apologize for having somewhat a life outside anonymous forums. I'll try and do better. But, in the end all the deflections won't absolve biden for his role in the mishandling of the withdrawl.
