Just goes to show, the grass is always greener on the other side. I miss Thailand when traveling overseas and miss the UK when in Bangkok. Nowhere is perfect.

I'm in Saudi at the moment and could do with a bottle of Sangsom and the view of some pole dancers.

Never a truer word spoken. Although, I wouldn't want to live there again.

Counting the days till 6th Sept, Bkk for business, then by some strange trick of fate Patong for a few days, then back to BKK for some more err business, all work meetings honest. Then UK again. unsure where I would want to stay fulltime.

Try teaching 1269 schoolkids English Language a week?

LOL

Hard work?

[GuestHouse]

I'm in Saudi Arabia right now (and as I said in another thread, I chose this over a posting in Thailand) - It's early days yet, but I'm enjoying the new experience - Which I might add is totally unlike what I expected or lead to believe.

Make the best of where you are and don't miss today dreaming about tomorrow.

Well said! At times, I focus on the destination and not the journey. I'm guilty of spending too much time dreaming of Thailand and have sacrificed much the last few years to make this a reality in the near future.

Lately though I've been trying to live more in the moment. I'm enjoying myself more now compared to the past few years. Most of my thoughts today don't revolved around what my life would be like if I was in LOS.

I'm in Saudi Arabia right now.....

I'm in Afghanistan (again)

Killed my first snake the other day (saw-scaled viper), but other than that it's been fairly quiet (on the camp itself).

Would love to be almost anywhere but here, but here is where I'm getting paid, so I have to put up with it for awhile longer.

open a thread,and tell us about your new experience outside of Thailand.would be of interest to many,I would think.

Either way good luck to you and your family over there.

i spent quite a few weekends on dong koi street recently doing just that. free wifi at gloria jeans!

apart from a really vibrant business environment the problem is there's not much else to do in HCMC.

i remember telling myself how i'd love to be back in bkk.

Thanks for the best wishes.

While I agree a thread on life beyond Thailand might be of interest it would also be like a red flag to a bull for those who delight in attacking anything anyone else does that they themselves are unwilling or unable to do.

Where I and indeed where my family would rather be (if indeed we actually wanted to be somewhere else) is one thing - bringing your family to TV is, by abundant evidence from other people's posts, beyond foolhardy.

[Rincewind]

I'm in Baghdad, and would rather be anywhere else in the world so long as I am with my Thai gf. I'll be there before long though!

I know you as PNG on the TT .I am IR on there .Cant believe you chose Saudi over Thailand ,especially when your wife is Thai .Anyway you are lucky to be able to move around and experience different cultures .

Does Rex Hotel still have that great rooftop garden where all the spies hang out? Actually, is Rex still there?

[draggons]
