hansgruber Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I came for the adventure and got the clap. Thought that was awesome and stayed for more clap. Knocked up some local kratium farm girls and now I have some kratium farm brats that are awesome. I'm happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My first trip to Asia was to Phuket. Worked as an DM on Similan liveaboard. What an life.. but no money. Same same, but was on day trips. Came one holiday and didn't go home. Eventually Phuket became home. The states seem like a foreign country to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercallen Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I came here when i was 62 a year after i retired in Australia for a 2 week holiday I fell in love with the place and for the next 8 months travelled back and forth sorting out business in Australia so i could shift here permanently Went out with local women and lost interest in them 90% are not worth having the same as divorced single woman in Australia the divorced men are just as bad looking for a women to support them on the singles scene Met a lovely Thai lady not from Phuket and have been happy and enjoying life ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
