Things I miss about Thailand ...

Well I have been back a few weeks now,First thing I noticed was the dam weather,
It nearly killed me.

Spent the first week in the U.K wearing a coat in doors 24/7.

It nice to be able understand and not think twice while talking to someone.I found
myself saying random Thai words to English people who looked at me like I
was crazy,These mainly being .. Copen Kab,Del Gon,Sabai Sabai,Tama lie(Ignore the spelling)

So what do I miss....

The heat and the ability to wear flip flops everyday is up there.

The cheapness of everything compared to England,£1.20 for a bottle of pop that would cost £0.60 in LOS stands out.

And the biggest thing I miss...
Even though I didnt cheat on my Mrs and have no plans to,While you are
in Thailand its possible to organise an Orgy for less than £100.00 in five minutes.

I think this possibility to any guy is something that lighten's his mood even if he
never follows through with the possibility.

did you decide which area of Britain to live in ?

Found a decent job in Redditch which I applied for before leaving LOS.
It looks like home for the next year atleast.

Hows things with you Blue,You still upsetting everyone with your posts ?

no , I just state my views .
though I think that Pakistani gentleman with the British passport is boxing soon,
my opinions on him always get people animated .......

.

I'm back in Blighty at the moment for a few months.
Been here about 10 days now.
Am not missing Thailand at all up until now, although it's bloody cold here.
People here are miserable, don,t smile much, girls are fat, ugly and think they are the bees knees.
The blokes are loud mouthed meatheads with no manners and too much hair gel.
Actually don,t mind the smoking ban much.
Big bottle of Stella is 75 baht at sainsburys.
Missing Laosy like mad.
Cigarettes are paeng.
Local buses are about a pound a mile.
Still can't work out how Spanish olives are more expensive here than in Thailand?
Did think it was amusing that the waiter in the local Thai restaurant can't speak Thai.
says he's never been there?

Go back in 4 days, 1st priority is to catch up with family and friends with a few beers.

I don't miss much - mainly the availability of cheap, cooked to order food at almost any time of the day/night, scenery & general friendliness. I also miss jinjoks and noisy frogs. Don't miss the heat cos I can't stand being hot.

I have ignored the spelling, but I still don't have a clue what Thai words these are meant to be :) (apart from sabai sabai..)

^ Hello, shagging, happy happy, what you do

All seems in the right order too:)

I use law/lor gon, but each to their own

I thought it was 'diaw gorn'.

I just sent my wife and son back to Thailand advanced party seems the weather is just as bad there.I always notice when out with the family in blighty all the blokes are rubber necking and walking in to things checking out my wife.And all the farang women,are probably thinking pervert he married a 22 year old.My wife weighs 43kg but is 39 years old,that is 9 years older than me.
Don't you just love having a Thai wife/girlfriend,makes everyone in the U.K think lucky bastard.

dao gon as i read your del gon is the same as-

butch um butch um butch um birt

Stand like a train with your arms at 90 degrees, now as you pull your arms back, thrust your pelvis forward

Do this 4 times whilst shouting butch um butch um butch um birt

There you have dao gon :)

The way it is spellt, it doesn`t make any sense.
There is no word in thai/lao that is pronounced with an L-sound at the end of a word.

Diaw gone as Orroz suggests or if one likes to be a bit more polite:

Raw sak khoo na khrap
please hold on a moment

I've been back in the UK for a month, and yes the weather has been a bitch having not been here for over 10 years.

I was so looking forward to doner kebabs and Indians, but I guess my taste buds have changed over the years and have only had one of each so far. Missing a som tam and sticky rice. Meals here fill me up way too quick and it's more a case of finishing a plate to be polite rather than taking time and enjoying a many flavoured Thai meal.

However I don't miss the chemical Thai beer - I've been getting well stuck into Director's, Old Speckle Hen, Pedigree, Guinness, Old Thumper, Cumberland Ale, amongst many others. Saying that, I really do miss the Thai price - 7 pints of Guinness and a packet of porky scratchings last night cost me 25 quid (that would've been about 500 baht at Beer Belly Billy's: Leos not Guinness, obviously:))- and also not standing at a bar trying to get served. Shouting to get served at a heaving bar seems so primitive; I'm hitting Newcastle tonight after the game with Wolves so I'll have plenty of practice. Talking about Newcastle nightlife, I'm hopefully going to see some decent looking bint - the amount of lard arses I've seen is unreal, the MILFs here are as fat as fek - a trip round UK Tesco perving in the aisles is so disappointing compared to Thai Tescos.

I also miss being able to walk around Nong Khai at any time, day or night, and not worrying at all about being accosted by louts. I've already been 'harassed' by a tripping chav who jumped in front of me and then blocked my path by doing some demented dance. Been wishing I'd brought my metal whip baton with me.

One month to go then home...

Seriously guys, theres no wonder you all sound so pissed off when you come back to the UK. Most, if not all of you are moving back into cities and towns. These places are now futuristic nightmares, especially when you've just come back from a place like Thailand. Why not try the rural or semi rural life? These days, its nothing like it was 15-20 years ago. Theres usually a city within an hours drive, if you need one, a supermarket within 30 mins. You can buy meat and veg at the local butchers, and know exactly which farm its all come from. You can buy free range eggs at half the price supermarkets sell them, and most important of all, theres usually a local pub, where the locals will speak to you, and the landlord knows your name and what you drink. What more can you want?
