Benchasiri Park on the Sukhumvit by Phrom Phong BTS.

It's small but nice and friendly. Free of charge. Toilets are just about bearable. A couple of refreshment stands.

Sculpture, exercise areas, water, flowers, plenty of grass. Lots of seating.  A busy outdoor gym area for the pumping iron brigade. Mothers/nannies with toddlers or pushchairs and their own designated play area with swings, roundabouts etc. There's an elderly guy who does his T'ai Chi exercises in the morning and he's joined by others at the weekend. 

When I'm in Bangkok I always visit. Blow all that sweating and grunting, I just find it a good place to sit and write.

I’m the same office and quick approval today. But it mentioned an attached file .. which wasn’t attached. Did yours have an attachment- all the information was in the body of the email text? 

Yes, a PDF was attached (bottom left hand corner). It contains the Receipt of Notification slip that you are meant to print off and carry in your passport.

They just can't get enough of us.

Good grief!

I'm impressed. 90 day reporting is no longer a PITA

(It must be my lucky day, now where's that lottery ticket seller?)

She predicted that next year more small hotels would go to the wall and close. 

The hotel industry has catered for up to 40 million tourists pre-covid. After the almost non-existent tourist numbers for the past year coupled with only a forecasted 3.9 million for next year then it won't just be the small hotels going to the wall. The big hotels are less well placed to adapt and survive than their smaller cousins.

Here?

I think I'm landed gentry.

Leastways, that was how I interpreted it. As soon as the plane touched down I was poo dee Angkrit.

New experiences, meeting new people, eating, drinking, spending my pension, my mia noy, laughing, avoiding the paper wasps, my next trip to Bangkok, our first crop of oranges, doing my first 90 report online, my next cup of coffee - - - - - - - - - while I can.

The premise?

 

You mean, measuring up?

 

Indeed, back to your title and original post,  do massages disappoint or enthrall? 

From massages to Robert Plant to the Marx Brothers to Angela Hewitt. This one's a rocky ride, Mr. G. I'm struggling to keep up.

The trick is to return the original point so subtly that the reader is unaware until it arrives. Billy Connolly was the master of this. His stories would meander off over all manner of subjects that you had almost forgotten the starting point and then suddenly find yourself back at the beginning.  He was as brilliant a raconteur as he was a comedian.

If I may make a friendly suggestion,  you need to work on bringing your posts back to their original premise.  

Are we really discussing the serial liar's haircut? There's nothing new about it, it has always looked as if it was cut using a pair of garden shears while standing behind a 747 that is about to take off.

I'm surprised you got taken in Mr. G, sound bites and spouting phrases in latin that he learnt by rote at school are not an indication of intelligence. He is probably the most dimwitted PM the UK has ever had. His is a government of the inadequate, flipflopping on policy on a daily basis.

You're not the risk assessor who drafted my medical insurance policy are you? That was similarly risk averse. 

His wife had told him he was locked out of the bedroom. 

He was just experimenting to see if he could get past the security arrangements she had installed.

I woke up this morning and then I took a shower. 

Ah but were you refused entry to the shower initially- we deserve to know.

Can't really tell from the photos, though it looks pretty dry currently. What does it look like during the rainy season and will it look parched in April?

What do you intend to use the land for, building a house, for a business, farming?

If you are farming then water is the most precious of resources. If the land is prone to flooding during the rainy season then dig a reservoir and drainage channels to supply it and count your blessings.

What do you eat? What do you define as not being "junk food"?

How many calories do you consume each day and how many do you burn each day? 

Sorry to say but "a few glasses of wine" each day certainly won't help though I fully understand the temptation. ????????

Once your ankle is better, cycling, if you can find somewhere safe to do it, is a great way of burning up calories.  

Good luck.
