Neeranam Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've noticed in Khon Kaen anyway that there are a lot more dottery old codgers around than a few years ago. What's the reason for this? Are heating bills going up in the Uk or something? Can they no longer afford their half pint and drams? Could they all be finding their 'tee ruks' through online agencies? Are they coming to get their dentures replaced? Anyone noticed in the other parts of the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You live in Thailand and have no idea of the respect that should be afforded to older people. Reason maybe that they have earned it. Have you?

meom Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've noticed in Khon Kaen anyway that there are a lot more dottery old codgers around than a few years ago. What's the reason for this? I guess after the baht devaluation early 90's and several TOT campaigns a lot more people (young & old) visited Thailand. Some actually liked the country and with the 50+ pension scheme in place it's only normal that quite a few decided to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esprit Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 err sorry george only joking Was it you that hitched my wheelchair up to a Tuk Tuk last night? The blighter drove like hel_l, lost my shopping bag with the new sterdent I bought top of Silom. Going to bloody quick when he turned right at the Narathiwat junction I lost my walking stick. He couldn't hear a ###### word I was yelling at him because of the noise from the blessed thing, that he shot up Surawong and dumped me at some girly bar or other in Patpong, well I think that is what it is called. So I didn't have my walking stick, so had to keep sitting in my wheel-chair and as my throat was horse with all the shouting to the stupid Tuk Tuk driver the young lady who was by now sitting on my lap, wouldn't move for 2 hours as she appeared not to be able to lip read !! Anyway ,can you do the same again next week please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
