You live Hat Yai, I understand why you want to go for a long ride. Years ago I'd fly to Hat Yai every other month, then drive over to Songkla, working offshore. Hat Yai doesn't have much to offer. Why not ride down to Malaysia. I worked for a few years on the double track project, Rawang to Thailand, it's beautiful country side and beautiful people.

OneMoreFarang Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 hours ago, uttradit said: Topic is about chasing dreams. Could be visiting 1000 restaurants in Bangkok. Could be visiting every island and every beach. I like to enjoy my life without stress. I ride motorcycle, but I don't think it's much fun to ride 100km or more. Because we have to concentrate all the time to be sure we survive that trip. About restaurants: I know a couple which I like. If anybody recommends a new place, or invites me to that "new" place, then I am open to check it out. But I am also happy if I continue to go to the places which I know without any new places. It seems some people have goals like visiting here and there and those stupid bucket lists, etc. I like it the way I have it. Change is not really necessary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Not a 'dream' but sleeping in every Thai province, which I manage to do at most of them. Use to dream about hitting the PowerBall, but stopped playing, Living the Dream now, so just another O&A will do, and about as adventurous as I'm going to get. All the adventure and or thrill seeking stuff was done days past. Aside from a location or 2, which I'm too lazy to bother with, I think I checked off most of that 'bucket list'.

Agree, and I did most of that stuff before I got here/TH. Still took me a few years to 'mature' after I got here The kid slowed me down quite a bit, but that is a whole other adventure, and one of the longest & best. Not allowed to kill yourself, when you're suppose to be a responsible person, and a whole other person depends on you.

1FinickyOne Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 14 hours ago, uttradit said: I don't see many getting out there and getting after it. One of mine is going Hat Yai to Mae Hong Son via issan. As many back roads as possible. I suggested a big bike for me and small for Mrs. She doesn't like the idea. She would agree to a car. People have lost their sense of adventure. Honestly, I came on here thinking it was about more than a drive through the back country roads. BTW your wife is sensible. Putting her on a small bike to do that is just nasty. I had a dream of living in Thailand till I passed away while in bed with at least 3 lovely Thai maidens. At least I am able to still dream about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only something I missed out on was going to war ( I was on my way to Vietnam and NZ ended it's participation there ), and in hindsight that was probably a good thing. There does come a time when doing something is satisfied by having a long lie down, reading a good book, watching an enjoyable movie or looking at a lovely sunset though.

Prubangboy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Thailand plans (if I can be fully @rsed: Try every 5* restaurant in Bangkok (11 left to go) Learn enough Thai language to talk to Thai people about their folk religion beliefs. Get a useless advanced degree from Chunglakorn for networking purposes. Go to Koh Lipe (the last hold out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MyEgo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 My dream would for annual extensions to be and the Thai Government to grow some balls and stop lying to everyone every year about the thick smoke that is being burnt here, stating that it is coming from neighbouring countries and apply heavy fines to sugarcane factories that keep accepting burnt sugarcane. While they are at it, they can also fine and put farmers in prison who start those fires so that I can walk to the front gate at 6am to unlock it, as I do every morning, but without coughing and splattering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If you already drove around Thailand once (or more than once), stem to stern, why do you need to do it repeatedly? Does Roi Et change dramatically from visit to visit? Or were there just too many Roi Et attractions to take in in one go? I can see going to Paris a few times, but being Nan-ophile is a baffler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
