georgegeorgia Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Bumped into a old work colleague yesterday that I hadn't seen since April 2004 And we still continued our conversation like it was yesterday,in fact there was no greeting just a conversation about work like we hadn't been gone for 20 years! Time has passed very quick . I was shocked when he said....its been 20 years !! Where was you in 2004? What country? What was you doing ? How has your life changed since 2004? Who were the famous deaths in 2004? The year 2004 Edited February 8 by georgegeorgia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the same house in Pattaya I bought 2001. Still here, wouldn't be anyway else. I used to get stopped by the people selling timeshare on Pattaya Beach, they would ask where would you like to go if you had the money, I would always reply Pattaya. I'm very lucky, been working offshore on a 28 day rotation, I get 1 month away every other month, it suits me.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 I was in Bangkok, in the same condominium, with the same girlfriend, doing similar work to what I do now. At that time, I had my coffee at the different place, and I spent more time in the bars, and I had a few kg less than now. Not much changed for me, I liked it 20 years ago, I like it now, and I don't plan to change much. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) 44 minutes ago, georgegeorgia said: And what has changed? Wife obviously, still rural? And village orphan? Yes, still rural, moved from Ban Tad, UT, to Ban Nong Kae, Muang, UT, and rural there for another 6 yrs, before daughter graduated high school. Then left UT, to PKK, for my final resting place Still rurual, but <5 kms from everything instead of 15+. Really don't even need a car. Daughter graduated Uni, and works at Krung Thep, as no work here for her, and likes the city life. Working & investing in RE (chip off the ol' block). Since an adult, she legally adopted us, easier since birth parents are MIA, and we couldn't before that. Only change, replaced daughter with dog, so now still have a therapist to talk to. Along with being as self sufficient as possible; solar/EVs, and fruit/veggie garden. No need for PTT/petrol, PEA/electric and if more storage tanks, could get rid of PWA, but to convenient & cheap.
