Re: Retirement - what to do?

There seems to be 2 groups of retirees in Thai, probably the same elsewhere. Those who find that getting up in the morning and deciding where to go for diner at night is a life and those that think this is just time spent in God's waiting room. By your question, I think that you are somebody who wan...

Re: Dengue fever in Hua Hin?

Re: Man wanted in US nabbed in Hua Hin

Locals reported a foreigner to police as he was not working but had a lavish life style in HH.--WHAT?? I think all you lavish spenders better be careful, more meals in the night market and no buying high-priced bar -girl drinks down on the strip. If you buy the girls more that one drink they might t...

Re: GBP vs THB

Mark Carney, the new Gov of the B of E is an interesting guy. He is given credit for taking Canada through the world wide financial mess with minimal pain. NO Canadian bank has had to be bailed out and the unemployment rate was not too bad. He must be an OK guy, he played goalie on the Harvard Hocke...

Re: GBP vs THB

It seems to have improved a little. Guess a lower rate when its high season and a lot of money is being exchanged is good for Thai banks. Its interesting to look at this thread when it started 5 years ago and the distress expressed when the pound went down to 65b/pound. Now that is the 'good old days'

Re: Soda siphon

Here in Asia at the margins of the civilised world, sometimes you have to rough it a little.

Leave him alone, she of course is doing him a huge favor, it is well documented that the only way to reduce this suicidal activity is to raise the price, 37 or 45 is an insanely low price, 1000 a pack might really help to stop you guys exiting so early and so painfully.
