Another aspect to consider when moving out of Thailand: (Recalling watching TV5 on Monday - quite interesting program every (2nd?) Monday 18:30 Tout compte fait):
Everybody of us needs now and then some repairs at home, especially when living in a house. When it happens in a developed country it can become a big headache, even if a small problem. The program followed few cases in French cities where e.g. a broken gasket under a sink can grow to hundreds of Euro. There are nowadays many Internet services offering such home repairs, many of them running like a SCAM.
Nothing like this can be a headache for people in Thailand, especially in rural villages. There is always a chaang nearby, who can do it for a kiss, buying the broken part at a hardware shop around the corner...
Yer, that's it innit.
Flexability is the key to life and the happiest Ex-pats are the punters who keep shit simple.
The ones who punch out kids and then realise that there ain't much future for the little fuker growing up in this shit house is full of angst and sticky pudding.
Should of thought about that before ya unloaded eh.
I remember seeing guys at retirement age pushing a baby carriage around with their Thai girl in tow. F that looked miserable.
... some of them were even their own...
(stepping in for tomcat)
^ Ha these guys didn't look cashed up.
^Being cashed up clearly has different meanings to different people on this Forum. Very different.
^Anyway, they are having another life in Thailand - or at least they dream about that. Better than rotting in a hole at his homeland alone, daily waiting on delivery of fresh croissants... (and after all the young wife will profit somehow...)
I am observing a not so subtle change in TD gutter banter. It used to be- ïf you come to live in Thailand, you must be a loser".
Now it's- ïf you leave Thailand you must be a loser". I take that to mean more western expats must be leaving than arriving.
Anyway, speaking as a serial loser who has come to and ultimately left many places on his own terms, think I'll just stay that way.
When I finally get the wedge from my Thai villa, reckon I'll give the Fil's a try. It's a joyful luxury being able to speak to the people, for a starter.
Well said. He's getting tiresome. Thinks he's a big shot but all things considered, working in a stable well paid job all these years with no family to support etc, at this stage he should be staying in first class palatial digs he owns and driving a Winnebago and a Mercedes, not a bedsit in a cramped soi, a clapped out old toyota and camper trailer.
Quite sad really.
“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
Funny. I was thinking those guys probably were cashed up back then the Pound was fetching around 65 Baht.
Cujo,you must get with the times.
Terry now proudly motors around in a flash Holden station wagon,cool for cats.
OP.
Usual Suspects...
Tansliteral translation, ie what it really means;
I'm so happy i'm gone = shit i was forced to leave, never wanted to go, and shit i hate where i am already.
Nice Vauxhall Tez, did it come with old folks parking bumper
If I'd posted a video first it would be off to a new thread titled something like 'Vidoes I reely like' by chimpy, but as it's been started by a notorious shit stirrer and multi who can apparently do no wrong...here's what the title makes me think of...
