25 years ago.A broken down alki brickie , 50 years old living at Mums.
Found Thailand in 2005 and never had a drink since.
I explain it to anyone who cares to listen that i was older when i first came here than i am now.
I came in 2005 too and the baht bus fare was
5 baht to Thais.
10 baht to farangs.
If you were thick skinned enough,5 baht and walk away rapido.
I agree though,great value.
Just another example of how the government treats its previous tax payers.
The UK is a living hell-hole now so to find a happy and peaceful life here is a massive compensation.
