Well, its been quite a long hiatus since last posting, about three weeks I think. We have been busy during those three weeks. You may have noted on another thread that I placed a deposit on a place in Bangers a couple of weeks ago.
Yep, Moving from the Moo Ban Permanently???? ( some mod can change the name of the thread if they wish, it would be appropriate.)
I can just imagine a lot of you, (there must be at least two of you that follow this thread, according to the view count anyway ) thinking to yourselves:" yeah, knew he couldn't hack the family"; "couldn't take living in the village"; etc, etc,
Well, you would all be drastically wrong. I think I'll wait and see if anyone can come up with the reason why. It will astound you for sure.
Let me just say that I love being around the in-laws, a truly nice Thai family that is well grounded in their chosen life style.
I've also had a blast in the village, nice people here, the language has been difficult but also provided some side splitting moments of hilarity. The kids in the village all call me "Leo", a nick given to me by the youngster that works in the villages store. Her parents scolded her and I had to tell them it was OK and kinda cute. At least everyone knows me.
I'll be interested in reading some of your perspectives on why we are leaving and moving back to the Bangers area. Not as central this time so not truly in Bangers but rather Bang Na.
