tutsiwarrior Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 winle...I hear you, with me it's economic reasons...ain't got a job and nowhere to go. The only benefit is that I got a roof over my head that's paid for. I have to admit that things could be worse...like a flop house in Nigeria...

tutsiwarrior Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 bluecat...most people that post on this forum are Thailand enthusiasts and could not conceive of LOS as a 'gilded cage'. If you are an itinerant engineer you look for shelter where you can find it between jobs as returning to home country means re-acclimatising in the best case and dealing with home taxes in the worst... no matter that the local food sucks as well (tutsi blasphemes...)

Martin Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Like Sonthaya, I only want to leave Thailand with the bangs and big puff of black smoke from the chimney at the wat. (Do they put an old tyre in with your corpse to make the black smoke? But how do they get it to burn all at once?). The only thing that bothers me is to ensure my widow will know where and how to get a death certificate , and a translation, that will satisfy the organisation that pays my pension and should pay her a little widow's pension. I apologise for going off topic, but is there a thread on this, or another, forum that tells what we should do to put our affairs in order ready for the inevitable? When my first wife was in terminal coma I got a grip on myself to make a list of what I would have to do. (Old pilots like to have their checklists prepared for all eventualities). The library had a paperback book "What to do when somebody dies". We could do with a few pages on the web on "What to do when a farang husband dies in LOS".

ThaiPauly Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 ThaiP, one thing is what we would like , I guess it's up to the family in the end, but my children accepts my final whish. Yes Sonthaya, if my Thai Wife outlives me I doubt if it will be a problem, it all depends I suppose on how long it is before I shuffle from this paradise to the next. My parents would definatley want to bring me back, but my kids would be OK about it, if I outlive my parents, (so I won't be moving to Pattya) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 At 7:00 this morning, when getting the exercise prescribed by my Khon Kaen cardiologist after he had poked open a coronary artery, I watched a buffalo, plough and farmer turning the soil in a rice field. It just seemed so right. The soil had been nicely soaked by yesterday's thunderstorms. And, although I am no ploughman, I could tell it was in perfect condition for ploughing, and looked to be loaded with fertility. It is many generations since any member of either side of my family were on the land. So I guess I was having an attack of atavism. Then, five minutes later, the heavens opened. I now know what it would be like to ride an exercise bike under a warm shower. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
