hey guys thanks for all your replies, interesting because i never thought of posting such a post

Oishi is great. Been there many times. Food is always fresh. Thing is I can't eat much, but I don't let the price bug me. I highly recommend the place. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward again going there this May or June.

As the tide of change of life and togetherness drops like the falling leaves on a tree of life, one must face a new challenge in life. Life is full of risk, but I say so what at the age I'm at.

I love your free style attitude. Actually that is me also. Think wisely, live within your income of freedom awaits one, no matter what country one is in.

hey come on, think the way Buddha has taught you

This is what I mentioned, it has a sense of "the touch of magical and mystical feeling". I felt that even as a 19 year old being stationed in Asia back then.

Sadly, I'd have to agree with you. Too much comfort in peoples daily lives ruined the "cherish every day one is alive " attitude these days there.

Thank you so much for your kind and sincere words about life and the harmony we search for in our daily life

cool story

I visited Naples while stationed at Homestead AFB. Beautiful back then in the 70's

Is 20 baht too much at a local Thai restaurant outside of Bangkok and in the countryside. Seems like I tip 20 baht and the owner wants to refuse it, but with a warm smile she WAI's us and we are known next time eating there with excess food on our plates. Oh, fried rice at the countryside roadsides are the tastiest I've tasted .

Thanks

The traffic in Bangkok is a good reason to move out as soon as possible.

555 got you beat 555

Many of us here have left the country of birth and I thought it would be interesting to have a little story behind how long you've live outside of the country of birth. For me, the USAF took me to my dreams of going to Asia back in the early 70's. It was there I was able to see and be stationed in these countries, Thailand at Utapao, (sp) Taiwan, Philippines ( Clark Air Base ), Okinawa, Kadena and Japan Yokota Air Base. I'm going on 33 years now living in Japan and most recently planting my feet (hopes) in Thailand (so far it is working out of how I'm managing it ). In closing, for me there is something mystical about living in Asia. I think it is just in the air, like America, one feels the sense of freedom in the air.
