  1. Geez, it sure would be nice if some of the bitter Europeans and others could show us some decent offers on foreign credit cards...

    Unfortunately I'm a non-bitter European so I can't help you out ;)

    I've checked with all my European friends in Chiang Mai and they're all non-bitter as well, as are my antipodean and American friends - seems there is only one bitter person here ;)

  2. Finally, some good news:

    "Thailand’s drought-stricken farmers got a rare bit of good news Monday, when a pair of sacred bulls predicted that the heavens would finally open during the upcoming rainy season. The bovine prophecy came during the kingdom’s much-watched annual royal ploughing ceremony, an ancient rite officially marking the start of the main rice cultivation season."

    Out of interest what did they predict last year so we can check their accuracy ;)

  3. People married to Thai spouses can simply get retirement visas, you know. There's no rule that says they HAVE

    to get a marriage visa.

    There are rules for applying for a retirement extension.

    Have to be 50 or over and 800000 baht in a Thai bank or the equivalent pension income of 65000 baht a month or a bit of both. You will be surprise the amount of 50s and overs that don`t have the 800000 baht.

    Interesting.

    Surprise us and tell us how many.

    42 ;)

  4. Power flickering in Santitham- rain, thunder and lightening - was thinking of walking to Salsa Kitchen but may give it another 1/2 hour ;)

  5. My weather app on my Macbook Pro indicates rainstorms everyday for the next week. Sadly, the online weather forecasts say no rain at all, ever.

    If AppleMac comes thru with the rain I'll throw my PC/Androids in the khlong. :)

    It's thundering and raining in San Patong - will you be posting pictures of your devices in the khlong? ;)

  6. Look under a rock

    Last I heard from you you were posting how much you hated your time in Chiang Mai and how wonderful it was to be gone

    Obviously your new life is so fulfilling that you still read and comment on a forum about a place you hate

    I look forward to reaching a similar enlightened place in my life ;)

  7. Okay - Classic Burger has had its time in the spotlight - some people like it, some people dislike it (surprise!) and some people are upset that others disagree with them (bigger surprise!)

    Can we have a new contender for discussion / dissection ? ;)
