David48 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) More then a fair share of tartan in Thailand ... Givin' it laldy. Of the Sassenach (English), there are many. Aussies number well too. The Yanks are spotted thereabouts But a Scotsman ... A'place For a country of 5 million odd, there does seems to be a large proportion of members of Scottish decent who have an affinity for Thailand. So come on you Sons of Scotland ... declare yourself as such. Tell us why your ass is in Thailand (or want's to be) and your heart is still in Scotland Ay ... A need tae practice ma Scots. .

I'll show my hand. There is some genuine Scots in me. All Aussies can trace back their fatherland. My Great-Grandfather (fathers side) emigrated to Australia from Scotland.

I'll show my hand. There is some genuine Scots in me. All Aussies can trace back their fatherland. My Great-Grandfather (fathers side) emigrated to Australia from Scotland. My mothers maiden name is XXXX and there is a XXXX family castle in Scotland, which we have visited and toured. It was my great grandfather who emmigrated also. I spoke in a Scottish accent for the first 5 years of my life. No one could understand a word I said except my sister. Obviously skipped a couple of generations. I am artfully frugal in most pursuits in life. I have pale white skin. Edited July 17, 2012 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My blood flows tartan. That reminds me of the saddest day of my life. You see I cut my finger while I was helping my father planting the tatties, and he was pleased at first to see my good tartan blood flowing strong. Then he said, "Son....I'm sure that's no ma tartan laddie...I'm certain of it!" Then he plunged his trowel deep through his heart to prove it. I won't bother you with the outcome as this type of humour surely is enough proof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Its my belief that we simply love to travel....quite why we all love Thailand so much is however a mystery. Well not entirely of course.....but maybe some can shed some light. I'm in for the beaches girls heat and chilled out people.... Edit: I've been told to use the word girl in such situations....
