ThaiPauly Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have been away nearly 4 weeks, just got back to BK today, and have to make it to Bumrungrad to sort out a medical problem with my leg before I can drive back up. Of course I enjoyed my time in the freezing climate of the UK visiting my parents and kids,,,but no way would I want to stay there much longer than I did. This is the longest I have been away in 5 years...I really missed CM and all my friends (of course some will say I am" Billy No Mates,") thats to be expected Does anyone else feel the same when they are torn away from our home town?

ChiangMaiFurnishedApts Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 " Of course I enjoyed my time in the freezing climate of the UK visiting my parents and kids " Tonight here as far as I am concerned is the coldest night yet. I hope you still have your hot water bottle and long johns with you. I was away recently for just 4 days and I actually missed the place. Well I missed the prices mostly. A few days of reality, supping down decent beers, eating stuff I have not eaten in years and shopping of course and I was ready to come back. Plesently greeted by Immigration in CNX and given the token inspection by customs who were amused that I had 5 kg of cadburys, 2 tubs of Philidelphia cream cheese with salmon and 2 kg of mature chedder and 7 litres of ribena I have worked out that no matter how bad this place becomes sometimes, I can always retire to some corner of my apt and consume the above goodies and all will be ok. Welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Welcome back, mate. My son paid US$9.50 for some Belgian beer in Texas, but you may have paid more than that for British ale. All is well here: new branch of Miguel's Mexican opening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasseru Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anyone else feel the same when they are torn away from our home town? I miss it, but perhaps not as much as you have been, since I don't go to non-tropical places in the winter time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2K Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 For first time ever - I saw Ribena for sale at TOPS- Airport Central - but at 350 Bt (£7) a bottle I resisted the temptation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yep, it's an easy place to miss, especially after one has been rubbing shoulders with those other than family/friends where I'm from. Catch you soon, TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvinrio Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) For first time ever - I saw Ribena for sale at TOPS- Airport Central - but at 350 Bt (£7) a bottle I resisted the temptation! Sunquick (blackcurrant flavour) should be for sale in Tescos lotus and is very similar to ribena and is a lot cheaper at about 160 baht.
