Regular seasonal back and forth between Manhattan and Thailand is still aspirational, though we are now 83 and 42. For last ten years I’ve been limited to vacation visits to Thailand—3-4 a year, each for about a month. Those are tours and beach holidays, not enough time to get bored. Versus never a dull moment in NYC. Mia noi has hands full in Bangkok for another couple years before boys leave home, but we imagine a modest beach area house, likely south of Hua Hin, especially for cool season. Meanwhile much of day and night in NY involves care of wife in late stage Alzheimer's.
