I feel very safe here . If I were in North Korea I would feel very unsafe ......

I have got the same issue in Hang Dong very low water presure .. Great for me too I just laid down 500 sq meters of sod ..........

Can anyone recomend a good foot doctor here in CM . Wife has got something on her foot giving her a hard time , for the comics here its not her shoe and its not my rear end .

Been to two doctors so far and they just load up on pills and creams and send her home the typical thing .... Nothing listed in the Doctors list for foot doctor so figuired I just ask !

I took am early retirement at age 55 that was my first available date . My feelings were everyday I wait is one less day I can truley enjoy myself . I was acually in Thailand 20 days before my retirerment was official I get a monthly pension check that doesnt set the world on fire but allows my wife and I the ability to live very comfortable . Would I like to work at something here YES but I dont have to thats the clincher . The first year was culture shock but after that it gets better .... One thing I can say I could not live as good in my home country ,,,

Had no water problems near the Hospital in Hang Dong , although sometimes it goes dry but not this week ....... Presure is very low though .......

When we were house hunting the realitor took us to a beautiful house two story nice yard great view of the mountains at a excellent price . Well after looking a few minutes we figuired out what the issues were a paint and body shop no more than five feet from the house on the other side of the fence. The grinders started and the hammering and we just shook our heads and walked out . The house was empty then and still is a year and a half later ... Im sure the body shop came after the house because no one in the right mind would have built there ..

My wife spoke some english when we met and could read and write it as well . She had the common mistakes all thais have with english words . After living and working in the US for 6 years she speaks very well and has most of the prounciations correct . But I think the hardest part are the english words that are far from anything a Thai knows or understands . There are many that can read and type but have no idea how to say the words ...

I dont mind them standing there trying to help me . But when I pick out what I want thats it , dont try and steer me to another brand or model . They did that to me once at Home Pro I wanted a presure washer , picked out the one I wanted then they got some guy that speaks english to come tell me it was not the one I wanted . I wanted a bigger one so I could wash my concrete . I walked away and bought nothing .. The next time I went in I just took the box down and stood there . Some nice guy came up filled out the warenty and carried it out no problem I hope he got a nice commision out of it ....

Nothing; and I mean nothing is more ear shattering and pain inducing than the result of placing a large bowl of somtam in front of a group of Thai female's once they start gossiping. Throw in a few contradictory comments to wind em up a bit more and the resultant crescendo of competitive yacking is something to behold. Makes the sound of drilling concrete whilst listening to luktung music on sh1t speakers quite pleasant in comparison.

Add a few Leos to that and you d better find somewhere else to sleep for the night .....

I guess you have never been near my wife when she is on the cell phone . Seems like she yells . I can go outside and still hear her down the street . Maybe I need to get her ears checked although she has no problem hearing me when I tell her where the money is ........ Or where and when we are going to eat !

Has not been much said about this case has anyone heard any news or information . Did they ever catch the killer are they still working on it ... Everything seems quiet about it now and its almost a year ???????????

Mine sleeps all day in front of the fan on the tile floor . Or if she gets too hot she go drag the garden hose around the yard until I go out and turn it on for her

I have been using Bangkok Bank now for almost three years . I transfer online from my bank in the USA cost me 3 dollars it goes to BAngkok bank of NY and is posted to my account as soon as they receive . Never been charged more than the max 500 baht limit and the exchange rate is always the TT amount . As for problems I have called them a few times when my USA bank messed up and they have always been very helpful . No complaints what so ever and the people at the branch in Hang Dong are the best !

Is somone going to say April fools ??????????

I guess it just proves how bored some people can get .

This is not going to be good ... I can tell already ............ And I am just now getting use to left side driving . My wife asks what about our car we ll have to drive it from the wrong side now .... God help us ........

Hang Dong road on the left going down just before Hang Dong Market they always have a bunch of them lined up for sale

Miguels is terrible. I had burrito there and it was super bland. Just plain awful. Both Salsa kitchen and Elvis are miles better.

Everyone has their favorites. I went to Elvis one time. I'll never go back. Food was terrible.

Same for me as well

Have one to tell on the wife .. Now she is very educated sometimes too much.... knows everything .... Thinks ... Back in the states we worked opposite shifts and she was not home , came home one night went to the kitchen to make something to eat and things just seemed out of place . Wife had been having issues with her boss for several days prior which really upset her ..

I went to cook something in the pan in the stove , but its seemed to have an abundance of salt in it , then I noticed the water pitcher was sitting on the corner next to the stove , strange but oh well I cleaned the pan cooked my food and put the pitcher back in the refrigerator .

Next morning before going to work again I asked her what she cooked the day before why was the pan full of salt .. Well I got this blank stare like the one the dog has when it gets caught stealing food off the counter ... I could tell something was up so I pressed on . Seeing I was not going to except some have whitted answer she fessed up . She had had enough of her bosses crap and she Voo Dooed him .

She said she put a bunch of chili pepers in the pan and started frying them when they started to burn she threw salt in the pan and cursed him over and over . She said she didnt belive in it but he was driving her nutz and she had to do something ... I laughed she made me promise I would try it on her ! I asked well what was the water for ... in case I started a big fire I needed somethign to put it out with . I just laughed my butt off ... Next morning she s all smiles I asked her whats up . Tells me she had long talk with her boss and all was well . A couple minutes later I m looking over and shes pouring water down the sink mumbling something ..... I asked what are you doing ..... Im taking the curse off just in case it worked . I just shook my head ...... I do know Thais have what they call an imaginary child suposed to bring them good luck ..... To each there own I guess .

Hi I did one Wednesday you need tw photos copy of your lease , or book whichever fill out the form I has told to give it to the center window this was at 10:3o am was told to come back at 4 pm pick it up . Came back at 4 picked it up gave them 500 baht and I did not get a reciept either ..........

When I dealt with them they were very good ! One of the few agents that came and picked us up and followed up on my questions . But then I was trying to buy not sell ... I think the market is flooded ........

Night resturant in behind Chaing Mai Zoo . Took the wife there once the view was nice and the food was good . Cant remember the name though

Its always good to have a back up plan if something does happen . Me I would maybe have to do visa runs for a month or two until I scurried up the extra cash I would need for a retirement visa . As far as the house is concerned if she dies its paid for , its willed to me I d have a year to sell it . What else can you do its the way it is .
