Five days, even in the most interesting/entertaining of places, is usually plenty.......except for BKK and Pattaya of course, where multiple lifetimes are not enough.

40k a month?.....never heard of that....I have to have 400k for 60 days before applying.....and i don't have to spend what ever immigration demand. Food and going out are not fixed outgoings???

Police checking all the 'motel' traffic(ing).

A polite way of saying go eff yourselves....we are elites and do what we want.

Asking what is legal in Thailand?....you must have been here long enough to know that Thai law is only a rough guide and is applied by Thais to farangs as it suits them I'd relax and just accept it.

??? Our fixed monthly outgoings.............. water B60, electricity B1,800, phones and internet B1600.......beer B1800......car insurance and tax B1200, fuel B1000......total less than B10,000.......you must be living the high life.

50k per month in an Isaan viallage.....not even in a month of Sundays.

Well it would make a pleasant change to have a Cambodian in charge.....the Chinese have totally ducked Thailand and the (poor) Thais.

How many joss sticks are these Buddhists burning?.....and how come they only burn them just as the sugarcane burning starts?

Got to confess I am close to calling it a day.........noise, air pollution, badly behaved neighbours........going back to the UK this spring to visit and may well not return, other than for holidays. The only tolerable months of the year for me are October, November, December

?

I'll tell her.

Damn

Just had mine repainted in the UK. The guy sanded down all the plaster work with a huge sanding m/c.....then painted with primer and top coat........looks really good. He said that the sanding was essential to clean the surfaces properly before painting.....could have been lying of course.

Which reads....."our profits might not be as huge as expected as we are having to pay people a reasonable wage/salary".........boo hoo.

Yes...... it is incredibly quiet past 7pm....dead, unless, as you say, there's an event......then all hell breaks loose.....for days.

Really sorry......I take that back and apologise profusely and profoundly..... Land of Smiles.........predictive text??

If we have one more "Isaan" funeral in our village over the coming weeks I am leaving my wife.......five effing days of non-stop deafening bass notes.

Ha.....not dead!!

She does know, but has no paperwork......I imagine they will respond as the other shops have......plus they are an eight hour drive away.

Just an amuse bouche of what's to come......but the people in power don't care....they will ride the wave and be on the make.

Bag them up and give them to the one legged beggar on the corner of soi 7, BKK....... I'm pretty sure he drives a BMW and he has the latest iPhone.

Might be best to melt it down into a small block rather than trying sell a surround?

OMG!!!!

I don't have so many copies, but I do try to smile as they pull out every second copy I've studiously made as they put them in the bin........right in front of my eyes.
