PeterSmiles Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I live about 300 meters from a small river, and since this morning it's like world war III has started. No I'm not talking about red, yellow, blue or whatever color protests, but about Loy Kratong. I'm also not talking about some fireworks, but sounds like a V2 bomb has just hit. This going on continuous since 8am. I hold my heart already for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bifftastic Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Maybe if you had one Chang less, you would Kow Jai. Title should read Does it come you out of the ears already also . I haven't had a Chang in over eight months and I still don't understand what 'Does it come you out of the ears already also' means Maybe I should have one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, lucky you, but I have so far noticed from other posts of you in other threads, that to you never happens what happens to all others around here. Just one more example that you live in a perfect world, I guess. Still difficult to understand what you are attempting to convey. Do you mean that people have different experiences in Thailand? If so then you are correct. Are you complimenting me on my resourcefulness in staying away from farang ghettos? If so, then thank you. I currently am about 3KM from the provincial offices, and 100m from the river. It is almost silent here and the noise that I do hear is from a neighbor working on a car. When I ride my motorcycle into the city center in a few minutes the first thing I will pass is a baked on blood stain, on the main road, where a motorcyclist was killed. I guess that makes the world not perfect, but instead, makes it Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't know what you try to accomplish with your remarks, but I doubt that the bombing sounds around my place have anything to do with farangs and their " ghetto's .In fact it has been a while that I have seen a farang in my neck of woods.

jdinasia Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 No farang in Pattaya now, Peter? Wow! But what my remark about farang ghettos meant, is that people who cluster tend to have similar experiences Pattaya, due to its very nature creates a mindset in its residents that tend to gravitate along certain lines.
