Ulysses G. Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 They mostly said they wish they were coming as well and what a great time I was bound to have. Same for me, but that was before it became common knowledge that the place is crawling with beautiful young hookers who will satisfy a man for the price of a pack of cigarettes. I think they became a little suspicious when it came out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez oh gramps, its 2013 not 1973. A pack of cigarettes, SMS about 38 baht per pack, Krungthip about 60 baht, LM about 70 baht, Marlboro about 90 baht. Look forward to hearing of anyplace in Thailand that is crawling with beautiful young hookers willing to satisfy a man for that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Friends were envious, foes hoped I'd fall on my face, ex-wife just wanted all the money she could get out of me before I left my homeland. Having already worked for the Thai Government in my homeland, and visited more times than I could count, I knew it would be fine and so it has been ever since although accompanied by my Thai Wife and our daughter, we did go back to where I had come from to work for a couple of years but are very glad to be living here again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpuumike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Everyone thinks for the women, but I have one and only one. Simple answer, it never gets cold. And lots of fresh food at the local markets plus good supermarkets too(Ha ha, mainly for bacon). Staying on topic, I should add that I lived and worked here for 3 years and did a lot of rotation trips here too. Thought I knew the country but have learned much more though life much better here than the UK. Edited November 24, 2013 by Bpuumike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always18 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'd distil it as a real mixture of mild envy and genuine admiration - I was 62 yrs old at the time and had met and married the most perfect Isaan lady. 5 yrs on and we're still blissfully happy - much to the astonishment, and maybe relief, of all those we left behind in the UK!

Miami Bob Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I didn't even know where I would end up when I left to wonder but I think most thought I would move back to the states some day...11 years later still here. A few have come to visit and one even stayed for a year but when I went back three years ago to visit for a month nobody even ask me anything about Thailand. They seemed to have no interest, acted like I had never left and were just into what's going on in their own world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank James Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I retired at 64 and moved to Chiang Mai. I've been back for three short visits, and each time felt the gulf widen between self and family & friends, Two old sayings are true: You can't go home again. Out of sight, out of mind. This is home now, and anyone back there who cares can come see me here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
