So instead of reading " The Art Of the Deal ' I should have been reading his next book " The Art of the  Non Tax Payers Steal" !

Having said that, those I know that have become bored of Pattaya for a plethora of reasons have not 'gone home' they still have their holidays but just not here any more, given the fact that there are now much better options in Asia that provide greater value for their money that is hardly surprising is it?

Would you like to tell us what these better options are ?

" He had been working as a teacher and part time DJ "  ............I must say things  have changed since I was in school  !

A few years ago  , at certain times in Suk. there was the Aussie  down and out teacher with a cardboard sign which said "need ticket home " . Wonder what happened to that one . !

Sold a flat in  the " red hot " West London property 3 years ago , it was never more than a week on the market before some kind of offer was made , though the first offer fell through ( chain )  it quickly   sold near to the price I wanted.

Compared with Pattaya , it was heaven , I listed with several agents and sat back ...and back for well over a year without even getting an offer. Also you need patience to cope with the ever so short high season and the ever so long low season .

Eventually it sold but most of the profit was in the  strength of the Thai baht rather than the condo .

Never  been in  a cave  , even less in a  cave child saving situation .

I do suspect  however that in the post rescue interview I might not use the gentle

put downs  that other , more media  savy  people ( like Musk)  might use .

I think Vern needs some credit for what he did , not what he said afterwards.

Can I send my 800,000 baht back now please ?

CIMB

Thanks yodsak , I'll look into that , hope the fact its a Malaysian bank doesn't matter .

Just love it down your way  , annual visits for many years now , Wiman beach , the town itself then a quick trip down to Trat and the  always empty Ban Chuen beach . ....

Understand that SCB will pay 1.8% on a fixed one year deposit of one million baht or more .

Can anyone beat that ?

Well if Boris says so it must be right because , just a short while ago , Trump said he would make a great President sorry Prime Minister .

The reason Trump hates Arabs so much is because they bailed him out when he  needed some help ( cash !)

It begs the question; where will the Trump Library be? And who will be the donors that cough up the several hundred million these things tend to cost?

Would anyone liked to speculate on the books ( if any ! ) and other media items that might make up the Trump library ....when the "event happens "   ?? Moscow might have some input !

Jesus it get complicated . I forget where I am supposed to be disappearing to ...............

Bikers have a rep. for looking after their own so I'm sure he will be ok. !

Wouldn't send any of my gear to anyone but Canon......

Actually my experience was the exact opposite .

The charming ' trained " lady at Canon just took about a second to say ......you need a new lens.

The ' untrained ' Thai genius at SD camera actually dismantled  the camera and  fixed the problem at a very reasonable cost  and gave it back the next day. It works until this day .

They must be out of their tiny Chinese minds !

Pity his negotiation skills weren't   a bit sharper when  he met Ivana .!

Looks like die hard Brexiters are snatching defeat from the jaws of "victory"!

Grouse , just thinking , in a short few weeks it will all be over bar the shouting , for better or worse  and you will  have to go back to your old life and being a normal person again ! Are you mentally prepared for this ?

I am new to Thailand but I soon picked up that Thai girls use the expression  ' he /she  didn't think that far ' .

Seems they didn't think ....at all !

Singapore always seemed to be a bit of a rat race  , compared with the rest of Asia , when I was there many years ago . Seems it hasn't changed much !

I think I may have met her at some stage last night .I dont really remember !

Is it just a coincidence that Corbyn and Chavez both begin with " c ' and have 6 letters ?

I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding and the Mexicans will come thru with the  dollars , sorry  pesos for the wall cost

Any new trade deals this week ?

That clock is ticking ....
