What does anyone think of Barrio Barretto?
The overflow used to be called S#!t River back in the days when the base was still open. When you crossed the bridge leading to Olongapo you knew. It's been cleaned up but still all those homes by river still dump into it I'm sure. My last time there was 2019. Barretto is good fun for awhile, just couldn't see staying there permanently. -

Bored of Bangkok... Any advice to an alternative place to live?
I moved from Bangkok to Siem before Covid and have no regrets. You should be able to find a nice, comfortable apartment for less than $200 a month. My buddy just rented a 2 bedroom house with a 75x25 meter front yard resplendent with banana trees for $300. There are tons of houses for less. Its a renters market. The whole place has the feel of a sleepy stereotype of an Asian city. Its loaded with tourists, last year, they sold 1.1 million tickets to the Park so the whole place is accomodating. Transport anywhere is town is no more than $2. You can get Chicken burgers for $1. Weed is $4 a gram for top shelf, $2 a gram for regular, even if you just want a gram. Vegtables, rice and all that stuff is cheap. I find the nightlife as to girls is pretty lame, so I save a ton of cash for trips to Bangkok. A round trip bus/van is $54, air fare as little as $150 with transport to and from Siem airport. Angkor Park is a must see. Pictures do not do it justice. Im out there 2x a week just chilling. After two years here they give you a free pass, and long term paid passes for expats are cheap IMHO ($200). The English level in Siem is high. The people are the nicest folks in the world. Foreigners who behave appropriately (please, thank you, hello, smile) are treated like kings and queens. The government collects your Visa money and ignores you thereafter. Everyone knows you are their rice bowl and treat you accordingly. Thats the important part. Siem Reap is where basically ALL the foreign exchange in the whole country comes from. Thousands and thousands of people are dependent on the tourist dollar so NOTHING is allowed to interfere with that and the folks will bend over backwards for you, unlike in Thailand, where tourists are viewed as a necessary evil. Right now Im watching the NFL in my breezy 5th floor rooftop apt (with pool), waking and baking with some Mondulkiri Arabica ($5, 500 grams) and Ice Cream Cake, ($4 a gram).. Ill call my driver later ($1) to take me too the hangout where I will have a few teas ($1 each) and smoke more weed and maybe order a plate of fresh rolls ($1) Good luck. PM me if you need help -

Northern Irishman fights for life after Thailand holiday accident
My reply on another death so many daily, came into this post somehow. This was related to one of the dozen plus that died on a bike on tao and phangan in the past 3 weeks alone. Body counts are madness.
