Thread: so long and thanks for all the somtam

after 4 years im moving on
the opportunity to repatriate the money id invested here came along so ive decided to call it quots on Thailand and spend a year or so sailing
theres some things i suspect i miss, right now they appear insignificant against the cons of settling here

Thailand has always been a corrupt and flawed fiefdom, but ive become more and more concerned theplace might go the way of cambodia in the 1970s. of course thats wildly pessimistic but i prefer to spwnd the next few years watching from the sidelines

teakdoor has been a companion for much of my time here, so ill say a fond farewell to the posters here and make a point to post a thread or two on the next chapters of l and f's wanderings

I wish you luck with your adventure, it would certainly be appreciated if you post some photos here when you get time

Yea, good luck, I wish I could relive my sailing days around the Hauraki gulf, and the Whitsunday islands and Pacific islands but I fear those days are sadly behind me .

Sounds good , go with the flow !

Good luck. I've been mulling over moving myself, it's a tough call for me, I guess it took a lot of consideration for you too?

Do us a favour l@f.

Moor up at Oman, and lend Betty Boo 2 quid for the internet caff

I don't see a Khmer Rouge event happening in Thailand.

Good luck though and sounds great.

Wish I had the get up and go to get up and go sometimes.

Good luck and fair weather for your voyage.

If anyone ever needs a cabin boy or a deck hand, pm me.

Plan to keep up with the acronym thread, if only to keep loy toy buried in a dictionary looking for long, obscure words he'd otherwise Not learn by himself and to piss of gravesend dave when hes not communing with pakis in the arsehole of n kent

^So you're not going entirely I take it. Anyway good luck.

Terrific to learn about someone moving forward with his life dream funded by some success achieved here in Thailand.

Fair sailing mate.
