I've found my conversion to strict Buddhism helps a lot, no alcohol of any sort allowed in my household or purchased by me.

Thats why the good lord invented Pattaya, conflict avoidance, harmony must be maintained at all times,

head south for a week or so, that way no one loses face.

To start a business. Has thus far worked out better than I dreamed. In my heart of hearts, I'd still prefer to be elsewhere but for now Thailand's the most practical place to be. So, overall, no complaints.

Midasthailand, have you ever been to Johor ? Unless you live in the worst corner of Nakhon Nowhere, trust me - she got the rough end of the deal. Love Malaysia, but they can keep Johor.

was based in hms terror,just over the causeway to jb use to go over a few times, in the 60s,and went back about 5 year ago,and it was still the pits.

I jump In my autopilot Ferrari, And to my amazement ended up here.

[NeverSure]

Or raspbery jam! Didn't mean to start a barney (fight).

For certain. There is a simple IQ test given on this forum. Forget the question, but if the answer is marmite or vegemite, it's to the back of the class to learn that in this world there is raspberry and strawberry jam.

That must be similar to my religion which doesn't allow marriage much less sin sod. Then again my religion does allow sex and alcohol.

Different strokes, haha.

[arthurwait]

On an asides..can one actually buy crumpets here. I've just got a buzz for crumpets dripping in butter with the merest hint of marmite spread abaft....??

Is it Marlon Brando season on gold ?

[mm1ller]

Too bad, I've lived here since I was born.... lol

[Yahooka]

Easy one...........I love sex,but hate relationships......Thailand is superb for me !!!!

[Goshawk]

among other minor things.. i got sick of jealous UK sub-chav scum attempting a picasso on my shiny yellow Lambo everytime i went anywhere in it.. (never happens here no matter where i park it)

but originally, i flew in primarily for the absolutely gorgeous birds...! (that's the ones in the trees that go 'tweet' )

[denizliox]

Fell in love with the east in the 60's. Retired here to enjoy better weather than the UK winters, and hopefully last longer . The cold beers are most palatable on these hot days too.

Anyway back on point, my cousin got married in Koh Samui and I had two years of hearing how great it was. I decided to do a 3 month backpack trip and stayed 6 years.

Keep going home for work and now back in Issan, fancy a move though as it's a little dull being single here. Maybe move to Pattaya

[lazygourmet]

To be closer to Europe...

I lived in Bali before

[Puyai]

I came here rock climbing down in Krabi. Went out on the piss in Bangkok before I went home and ended up missing my flight. Now I have a house, Job, girlfriend and a beautiful son! Not bad considering I had 50 pounds in my pocket after the missed flight incident!

After finishing my studies in Beijing my wife and I got married, and I took her to Barcelona, but after living there for a few month she told me that she wanted to come back to Thailand, cuz for her learning Catala and Spanish was very difficult plus she missed her mother( she is the only child of her parents hav), I understood her so we came, to tell the truth at the biginning I didnt like the place at all, I wanted to go back to Spain but my wife putted me between the blade and the wall: Spain or us!(she was pregnant), I didnt wanna lose my girl neither my daughter so I decided to stay, and give a chance to the place, I learned Thai, went to colledge again and after three years the love of my Thai familly and my Thai friends toward my person conquered me and now, at my 27 years old I just can think of any other place on earth in which I would like to live in, that's my short story,

Welcome. I see that's your second post. I hope there will be many more.

First trip to LOS was to visit a friend working there. Knew absolutely nothing about the place. Nine months later put everything in storage and moved to TL. Business venture didn't last, but fifteen years and umpteen longhaul flights later, met the future Mrs by accident and here we are. Lifes a journey, enjoy the ride.

I awoke nearly 4 years ago in the middle of a field in what I now know was Isaan. Naked. Cold. Hungry. I found my way to a nearby village were I met an elderly Thai couple who took me in and raised me as their own "lost" 40 something year old son.

Superman?
