is it time to go live in a wooden shack on a deserted island?

[bob smith]

is it that time? with the state of the world now, wars, economy, disease etc etc is it time to move to a deserted island to escape all the madness?? during my time on Koh Changy it got me seriously thinking about it. the world has truly gone mad and it seems a legitimate means of escaping he chaos. anyone else feel the same? and btw, now im using a PC to type this and not my phone. i made lots spelling mistakes before due to my fat fingers so apologies.

No.

Koh Chang is in no way deserted. In fact it is overbuilt. Next time go to Koh Kut same area but no cars. Only song taew trucks and motorbikes.

Live a quiet part of a fair size village already and have my mancave already 2k away.

if you got enough money, Thailand is a pretty safe bet right now. some of the stuff is a bit crazy here , but you can shut most of it out. apart from cops and immigration.

I don't understand why you state that it's cheap to live here and I have no problems with police or immigrantion.

Beats me why anyone would want to do that.

The three imperatives for most people are food, shelter and sex. Thailand has all three in abundance at low cost, I'm staying put.

I don't really know what your on about most all locals know me and I know them not that they can see me while I'm working or doing my hobbies on the land.

 

We own it and it's fenced off also hundred metres back from where the pictures taken there's a gate and a driveway to main road.

im sure you could bar fine a girl and take her wit you? not sure how much the fine would be tho, could be quite high

[KhunLA]

Already there, though not deserted, probably too rural for most folks, and damn near self sustaining.  Actually everything that one would need is just a few kms away.

 

Just need to do a bit of farming.  As after it hits the fan, money will be useless, and will need to barter ????

Or I could just steal one from a sleeping Farang in a bar.

If you pay a girl 5000 baht a day, you are destined to live in a wooden shack on a lonely island. And not Koh Changy!

Depends on the color of your money.

Koh Changy

Is the love of your life still with you? Does she love you enough to live in a wooden hut with you - maybe with candle light?

Are prostitutes available on Koh Chang ?

Not much point going there if you cannot have sex

Ask Bob for more details.

The nearest island to me is about a thousand ks away, but it's quite remote which I really like.

To answer your question, they don't care about a farang mooching around. They welcome me with open arms, and look at me funny.

Presumably your desert island won't have a pharmacy, don't forget your KY and meds.

The half a dozen hookers I talked to on Ko Chang said they were from Phuket, so def a coal to Newcastle situation.

 

Why can't you escape reality to an older sun brick property with a too-loud air conditioner like everyone else? Currently working fine for me. As the Buddhists say, wherever you go, there you are.
