Do you know how long you can keep doing 'back to back'? And are multiple back to back stamps frowned upon/gonna be an issue when you re-enter on your next visit for example............ If that was possible I wouldn't mind a flexible 8/9 month stay at that rate............................

some would say he has questionable ethics..................not sure that I would be quoting him in this light..........

Is it possible to book that slot in advance?!!

Maybe, but not in the case of 'dirty old men'.........................................

Absolutely, best thing you'll ever do....you'll have sooooooh much fun................... 20+ years ago a German friend recommended learning 3 words a day, he was smart and I followed his advice..............................................................................I got a phrase book, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8033805-practical-thai and got myself a small notebook to write my daily chosen words in, I targeted 270 words in 3 months (enought for basic communication in any language) and used that as a platform and went on from there........................................just do it.....................................................

speaking of Autumn Leaves/les feuilles mortes.................................I love this rendition..................

Pre Covid, 130K for a reasonably sized bar in one of the busiest tourist locations in the kingdom IMO is not expensive at all.....................................

As far as I'm aware, one of the prohibited jobs/business for a foreigner in the Kingdom is anything to do with transportation, logistic and transport related............................

And a fair share of them middle aged Thais...................................................

To marry at the Amphur under the age of 18, consent by both parents required or death certificate of deceased parent if not around anymore.........................

Any use of indicators shows there's life in the vehicle and you kinda know where you stand........won't be long before we're cussing and experiencing road rage with AI or robots...............certainly an interesting thought.........!!

As a Brit, I found that embarrassing, never mind the money........................ surely we could have kept it...........

They can't even agree on a cross rice paddy solution............let alone borders...............

That's the one........... slip of the keys..!!

That's the one, something along those lines................was mid to late noughties and was defo some kinda court case at the time, as to resolution, not sure anyone will know the truth...........

You're right, I remember in 91 visit only drinking Singha and and wasn't there a court case regarding copyright and the 'green bottles' also resembling Carlsberg etc in noughties also...............

I don't give give a monkeys what the police do, it's out of my hands, I'm just an observer................and 'yes' my cheap thrill is more important, because I can't 'affect it'..............................I'm all ears on the edgy front though, please keep me informed and how did you know ginger beer is one of my favourite tipples, do you know of a local shabeen .............and on a serious note, real shame it's not available locally........................

For me, maps give one that sense of adventure, even if is only a domestic trip, you can't beat an ordinance survey map in the UK in my opinion and even today, kids use them as part of the Duke and Edinburgh awards, but Sat navs/google maps etc, sure stick em on the dash for run of the mill stuff and research...........................and back to the thread proper.............................. I'd love to have experienced life in the first half of the 20th Century in Thailand if the Kingdom if any of the looped stills on the playlist in Mad Dogs in Chiang Mai are anything to go by.......................................

Absoltely, waste of time completely, but personally, I enjoy 'the edge' or 'cheap thrill' that you so derided........................

Good luck with that in the Kingdom, maps fine, do love a map myself, enjoy the tangibilty and awkwardness of it on my lap in the car, really!! but asking on the street..................................... most Thais who don't know and invariably they don't or can't articulate how to, will send you anywhere so as not to lose face................

Nothing wrong with a 'cheap thrill' as long as it's not at another's expense..................................

Nothing better than a challenge, a nod and a wink with the locals, and sense of beating the system..........................I hear you................Fun fun fun..........................

3 for 100b at any mom and pop store nationwide in the noughties, not sure the price now, (hopefully have some old schoolers chip in with prices in the 70's! ) but was it about 2010 it was reduced? Was a stealth move that's for sure and probably due to excise duty thresholds, certainly wouldn't have been approved by locals and they're probably still reminiscing like we are today.....................
