Or the cost of smuggled smokes from Laos, or the the locally distilled hooch. Or the quantity of delicous pomellos falling of the trees.

The price of fuel goes up......... I don't use the car.

Not smug at all really. I just decided that I didn't want to have anything to do with all this shit a fair time back. It's sad and tragic but I feel, inevitable that the house of cards should fall. End of story.

^How naive you are.

Fair enough, your opinion. You're welcome to it.

But I'm not suffering in this so called financial crisis. How naive is that?

And just to put that into perspective for the rest of you naysayers:

Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1

From the US Army Times

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.
Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.

No dissrespect to you but your a prime example of those that think 'aslong as i'm ok, that's all that matters and fuck everyone else'

Dumded down and given up already.

No offence taken mate. I made my decisions a while back and I've stuck to 'em. I spend very little 'cos I've got very little but what I've got is secure.

I owe nothing and am owed very little. So no stress there.

My cynicism for the modern world is unbounded and that's because I've been unfortunate enough to witness loads of stuff that really shouldn't have happened.

So, I left. Period.

I'll deal with the world on my terms and ignore the rest. They can drown in their greed and indulgence. I don't care.

Sad, you may say. It works for me.

And there's them that would argue the case for this, as well.

cool, well i hope that house and land you'll be purchasing when there is an upturn, allows you to relax even better and leave all such worries at the door!!!

pretty far out........... by both meanings!!!!!!!!

Cheers. We'll only buy it if we can afford it it. If not we'll stay here. 1400 bht a month, can't complain.

im on a free ride at my wife's parents house they have way too many bedrooms and bathrooms to make it not worthwhile saving money by staying here. plus her old mans a well renowned painter so i like to watch him paint as im an artist too, not a bad setup...........but if this money situation doesnt change it wont be until next year that we start up our business! all things come to those who wait, i suppose..........

where are you?

bangkok east near ladphrao road more specifically close to the ram intra expressway that turns on to the ramintra main road. its a little hideaway place behind a golf course, in a cul de sac.................. bugger to get into town though

Wow, to much city for me mate. Still, to each their own

yeah its not too bad........temporary, next year when baby is born and a little more settled we're off to chiangmai and the countryside, mountains but still if necessary close to a city (a rather more relaxed and passive city) one with more art and culture and my style of living..............cant wait........

good luck to you.
