    Rigger, your last sentence is brutally honest.
    Every time I pass through Customs to get on a plane to visit family in the States , I stop and ponder as to why I'm really making the trip. Why am I leaving ?
    Essentially I'm just going through the motions of being a good son, brother, uncle and father.

    After three weeks or a month it feels great when the aircraft sets down at Suvarnabummi (sp...ugh) and I pass back through Customs into a waiting Toyota taxi to my hotel and a night out in BKK.
    The crazy vibe as an 'older individual' being among youthful masses 'feeling alive' without any real or perceived 'threat'.
    That feeling is something very special and tough to put into concrete words that can no longer be felt by an older individual walking on the streets of NYC, Miami, Seattle or LA without being in group of friends or without 'protection'.
    The busy night-time areas have a noticeable police presence that is not on display in BKK. Assuredly none of those cities has anything that compares to the 'knowingly' vibe on greater Sukhumvit.

    Albeit top-shelf museums and such will not be among the local fare. We do give up quite a bit when we reside here but somehow don't dwell on what is missing. If we do we should not choose to reside here.
    Have you got the right end of the stick?

    I've probably got it wrong but I read it as he got sick of Thailand, left, and since arriving home he hasn't been sure why he bothered leaving home to go to Thailand in the first place.

    I think the odds are usually pretty good that those spouting this shit were probably cooks or yeoman. If they were ever even in the military.

    If I won a million on the lottery I wouldn't be leaving Thailand but staying there for good, at least as our main base. There are a few more places I want to take my wife to see in Europe and I want her to visit USA, then I would be more than happy to stay in our home in Thailand.

    If I had a MILLION dollars, Euros or pounds, I would be trying to get out as fast as I could. I've been here 14 years and had nothing but SHIT trying to do any biz here. Everyone has their hand out for anything you try to do and IF and I do mean IF, there is always someone saying you need to PAY MORE.

    Corruption kills this country. Yea if you want to pay off the police to get away with speeding tickets or whatever, that's your gig, NOT mine. I don't want shit planted on me and I don't want trumped up charges. If they even THINK you have any REAL money, these mothers will try to figure a way to get it off you.

    All the Thais think EVERY farang is RICH, it's get's to the point of STUPIDITY on their part.

    There is the exact reason why many farang fall, fail and leave Thailand totally disillusioned.

    To work here and retire here is two completely different animals.

    Not in 1 million years would I ever consider working full time here , I learned 30 years ago that it is a fucked idea at the very best.

    But to retire here with cash in the pocket is sensational.

    No your right there eliminate and terry
    To sit on your arse and deal with odd person who is serving you food and drink

    so what you are really saying is that thais are basically imbeciles and difficult to deal with and it is best to restrict ones dealings with them to the bare minimum.

    There was a guy posting on here who now hates Thailand after living and working in Bangkok for 10 years.

    He was a teacher here in a university.

    He had this god awful fuking winge and cry regards how fuked it was to drive around in Bangkok traffic.

    Yet it was his choice from the get go to work here in Bangkok, buy a fuking car and drive in Bangkok Traffic.

    Now this is exactly what I'm on about regards people making their own fuked choices.

    I made a choice long ago to work in Australia, earn my wedge and then retire in Happiness.

    Very good move by the way.

    SOME of these imbeciles
    I would not call a whole nation
    We have all had our share of having to deal with a dead brain Thai it's like pulling teeth
    Even a dentist asked me to go to another dentist because I dared to ask him what he was going to do, and he is an educated man.
    He left the room and my wife had to tell me,

    Handed me an MBK-produced business card


    When you get to a certain age, getting a huge cash injection ain't gonna make me jump up and rush around the world catching up. I'm gettin' too old for that shit.

    I'd make a few tweaks, improve a few things close to me, smile smugly then contemplate my next move, whilst reclining by my pool.

    I sure ain't gonna be dishing out charity along Beach Road to a bunch of ungrateful sex workers who already get WU payments from Hans, Gary or Sven. And no, I ain't having a dig at anyone. Jus' sayin' that's all.

    Just employ a PA who knows exactly what you want, day and night. Some might call it "a wife" but luckily one can always fire a PA.

    So I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that this thread's full of the usual whiny old goats bleating the usual whiny old nonsense?

    Anyways if I won the lottery I couldn't see much reason why it would precipitate a sudden shift.

    Plenty of reasons why I could get my dream car collection under way though.

    As a matter of interest, were you aware at the end of the fight the condition of McClellan?
    It started off as a great fight and looked like one of Benn's comebacks was underway - sadly it all had a rather bitter ending.

    No because the ring was mayhem and this was in the days before medical procedures were overhauled, before they had anesthesiologists and proper paramedics ringside.

    McClellans injuries would have been minimal had these measures been in place, but sadly most of the damage was done by Don King, who, in a bid to save money had McClellan flown back to the US while still comatose and not long after major brain surgery. Then he still had the balls to charge his family for it.

    McClellan's family care for him via fundraising dinners/auctions organised in London by Benn himself, are always well attended, the last major one raised $400k
    Benn didn't exactly get away unscathed, he has a shadow on his brain as a direct result of the brutality.

    My ex wife used to tell me that her mum won 25k Baht and was the envy of the neighbours

    She made merit by buying then donating kitchen equipment to the local school if I recall correctly
