Popular Post pattayadingo Posted September 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2013 Goodbye Thailand. In a few days I'll be back in the U.K. and not knowing how long it will be before I return. I've been here about 9 years and I'll miss it. I'll especially miss all those quirky things Thailand has to offer, but health dictates I need to return to the U.K. and get sorted out. Some absoulutely brilliant times I've had. Some crazy and some scary ones too.I have friends here both Thai and none Thai. They will be missed too. And with great sadness I'll be leaving behind the best woman I have met in all my time here.Over the years I have learned a lot about Thailand and its people, from those living in tin huts to those with plenty. I've been to several marriage, funeral and make monk ceremonies. Parties for this that and the other laid on by wealthy and poor people alike. I can say that each class of people have their good and bad elements but overall the poorer Thai people I have met have been the most generous with their hearts. They were happy to share their food, their beer and their help with me.It has been good knowing you, Thailand and I hope to be back sometime in the future. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasia Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 All the Best to you, hope you get sorted out OK. Enjoyed your posts and did notice by a couple of bar names you mentioned think we have probably been in some of the same music bars in Pattaya. I guess it will be quite a wrench after 9 years. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really do hope to get back in the future. We cannot take too many chances where health is concerned and I'd much rather do my best now to make sure I am around for a lot more years of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care. Thanks The big bad boss who is off to bed now has insisted we go one more time before I depart as she loves her heavy rock music. Give her some Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath etc., and she is a happy lady Now she thinks Thai music is boring, especially all those songs about broken hearts But she will have to put up with Thai music again when she heads back home to her parents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblether Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Excuse me, unfinished business. Did you go back and sort out those two chihuahuas that scared you off your bike last week? Seriously, the embarrassment of a couple of Mexican rats in fur coats causing you to crash into a thorny bush. You need to sort them out before you go.

No doubt popping in and making a few posts - maybe getting slated because I do not live here and know nowt (nowt = nothing for those who don't know nowt about nowt) The yorkshire speak coming through. I can see me in the pub on a Saturday night speaking my pidgeon Thai after a few ciders and getting some funny looks too Comes from living here so long and speaking with Thai people most of the time Speaking of cider.... I can taste it already!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Sorry to hear that PD, hope you get yourself sorted out medically. Just to replicate what a lot of others have said, you (and your posts) will be missed on here; I for one have always read them as black is black and white is white and in the majority of cases spot-on the mark. Keep in touch with the forum, and get back over here as soon as. Very best of luck, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the embarrassment of a couple of Mexican rats in fur coats causing you to crash into a thorny bush. You need to sort them out before you go. Aye, rats. Nearly as big as those I saw in the Welsh marshes when I stayed in that foreign country for a while. Those dogs attacked again. Other m/c riding by on an evening around the same time they had a go at me The leader of the pack has not been seen for a couple of days. The security guard at the entrance to the estate + a couple of neighbours did mention the main dog would not be around. Better to leave it to them and for them to sort the problem the Thai way, especially with a few young children about. Maybe they fed the dog some Haggis ? The ones built for running round mountains, you know the ones, they have 2 long legs and 2 short legs ! Enough of dogs!! You'll get some people on this topic going on about how to deal with them and that is in the other topic! Bad, bad, Blether disrupting this topic!

Be off with you Did you or did you not post this topic last week? On the m/c this evening riding down the same Soi I ride down every day several times. I had to slow down because of the really rough ground, as usual. Three chihuahuas attack. Out of the blue and no warning. These dogs are alongside me when they attack. Well two of them were. One was waiting on top of a bin, I'm sure he had a mask on just like the Lone Ranger. Maybe that's what caused it. They've seen the new movie and decided to get even with the Gringo. Going for my leg. No time to think. Not even time to think, how the *ff can a Chihuahua jump that high? . I pull away, accelerate too fast to avoid their fangs. Yes, I did just write Chihuahua fangs. Bike out of control on a rough road. Swerve right into the path of an oncoming bike. Miss him by inches and I plough into a thorny bush. Very lucky to escape with a few scratches. The other motorcyclist got my m/c off my legs. Security guard there in a few moments too. It took him longer to get there as he was buckled at the sight of me panicking like a girl. They get me out of the thorny bush / tree. I thank them and everyone is on their way. I know those dogs. The one with the yellow ribbon in it's hair is the leader. I've always hated yellow ribbons since that stupid song came out. Never been a problem in almost one year. No idea why they attacked. Next time I am out there I'll have something heavy. And will they get it!! No chihuahua is getting away with taking the p*ss out of me!! Anyway, get even with the Chihuahuas, get back to England, and come back healthy and soon. You will be missed.

MAJIC Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 @ Pattaydingo There are many great Ciders about,and Thatchers Gold is one of them(not to mention the Real Ales), and also on the plus side you will no doubt be very happy to have some excellent quality Farang food again,without having to take what's on offer! Cheeses? the Supermarkets are awash with so much choice,you won't know where to start,I recommend starting on Cathedral Seriously Strong Mature Cheddar (400 g for £ 3),followed up with some Mature Stilton. Good luck,and I hope your health is speedily dealt with, don't worry i'm sure you will have good unquestionable service! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
