What's the best thing you ever did since coming to stay in Thailand?

Featured Replies

I gave up masturbation.

in exchange for celibacy or proper sex with a human being. or something else....

Some of the sex aint been proper I digress but the partner has always been human.

Your user name reminds me of one of my fav muso's. Till Lindemann. His Skills in Pills album rocks.

I particularly like this one.

nice clip. so german. hate this, hate that...

but i am totally surprised 'they' let you post this here. it contravenes just about every rule applying to this forum.

by the way, my real name is neither manfred nor tillmann.

manfred is a name german people give to their children when they are either too stupid or too lazy to come up with something original.

and tillmann is what a puberty girlfriend of mine called her aborted fetus which she kept in a glass of alcohol on top of her wardrobe. umbilical cord and all!

perhaps till can do a clip on that one? with a few bbq scenes?

things i left behind............................

Gave battle to evil 'Pee bop' and 'Pret' in the forested jungles of Thailand.

LEAVE! coffee1.gifclap2.gifcheesy.gif

Another one.

Best thing you did was leave, but cannot let go of Thaivisa. Missing Thailand are we ?

Never mind, save up for 6 months, and you maybe able to afford a 2 week holiday back here.

Making the difficult decision to move elsewhere...sold the condos and car...gave away the bike and furniture...left with a backpack and a briefcase...

I have found life less stressful in an English speaking country...better food, healthcare, less hassles and people are less violent...

less hassles and people are less violent....

You are obviously not talking about the UK.

My experience with Thai people is that they are mostly non confrontational.

English speaking countries where Muslims and criminals have not taken over...

Can't be the Philippines because he mentioned "Better Food"

Nb... I love the Philippines (Not Angeles!) & have been dating a Filipina for 6 years, but the food isn't a patch on what you get in Thailand.

I'd certainly hope it would be something else; the first two are so limited.

Realizing i dont like living in an oven and moving soon.

Ovens are dry...like Arizona. This is more like Florida...a steambath. Being from Florida this is just right!

Try being from Canada or northern states! Thai tropical weather and heat is what got me started thinking about Thailand in the first place (all the other fringe benefits are just a bonus).

I hate winter, always have. Florida-style weather works for me just fine.

Exactly my point saying this is just about right. Loathe Winter with a passion too!

realize i can make 100 million baht as a digital nomad while still eating 30 baht soup.

To learn to smile to everybody...just because can make a difference.

I came here for a three year work contract, then decided to stay and retire.

Best things are my wonderful wife, designing and building my own house, having a smallholding and having plenty of time to enjoy beers on the patio every evening.

Actually I don't think I could ever stay here full time.

I mean I'm not overly enamoured with our (relatively mild and short) S/W Aussie winter..., but I only need to visit S/E Asia for the 2 or 3 months to skirt that issue.., and then I get to go back to the climate, beauty, coherence and relative order of Australia.

Live here full time..., surely they are jesting ! wai.gif

Every evening????????

Knocking up a young bargirl at the age of 70 and having twins,just love pushing that pram around in the Thai heat keeps me young......

And when they are older, they can push you around in your wheelchair.

Both property's look like they have almost nothing to no furniture not even window curtains of some kind , both houses look like short time rental property's to me.

Care to share some more picks of the inside of your so called beach property?

I'm guessing it's all relative to one's own experiences and value systems..., I actually live most of the year..., on my farm.., 'on' the coast. I jest you not.

Cost's may well be cheaper here in Thailand..., I mostly couldn't give a rats toss bag about money..., I do care for authentic quality and a comparatively unpolluted and pristine environment..., with might I add no walled in Mc mansions.
