Devastated, yes I was, and I still am. It isn't my nature to wear my feelings on my sleeve, but if it helps me feel better......so be it. My fiancee, my reason for retiring to Thailand in the first place, just dumped me or maybe I should say that she slammed dunk me! She said to me after returning ...

Kraka's Dad, perhaps I was being just a tad thin skinned......but now I get it. thanks for clearing that up The friendly fire bit did have me laughing though :) . What you said about the different types of humor is true. When I read some of the postings they sometimes seem to be coded with the Brit...

I really appreciate the show of support and words of encouragement from all of you who contributed to this post. I was taught at an early age that family always comes first and I've always honored these values. I was talking to my sister in the presence of my mother about liquidating all of my asse...

I just feel the need to vent, everytime I share my dreams of retiring in Thailand my family puts me through a guilt trip. I fell in love with Thailand my first time there and I can't shake that feeling. There is no way that they can talk me out of it, my mind is made up. I started the thread about ...

It has been said, the only thing constant is change. I'm not electing to be your cheerleader :mrgreen: Olmate, but it seems like a great idea. Old school wisdom is good, however new school is sometimes better. It's up to the younger people of the world to initiate change. Most old fogeys are stuck ...

No Kraka it doesn't matter, allow me to reiterate, just curious to know! Most of the people that I've met there were very friendly and helpful to me. Wherever I travel, it's with an open mind. I respect people from all walks of life. I know what its like to be discriminated against, especially in A...

Even though we are having nice weather here in Maryland, I rather spend a bad day in Hua Hin than a good one in Maryland 39 days to go and I'll be back in the LOS, can't wait! My only regret is the length of my stay, ten days. Thats the problem when you still have to work for a living :shock: :chee...

Never had any myself, but I recently saw this game show on TV and two hippies took a challenge to eat a whole bowl of fried crickets each they were somewhere in Thailand, anyway they where making it look easy until the fried crickets begun to cool off and then they were gagging and complaining and ...

Farang, thanks for sheding some light on my question. Now feel I don't have to pay a kings ransom, just what I feel is reasonable. I respect my g/f a great deal and feel very lucky that we found each other. When you find someone whom you can trust and the feeling is mutual, I for one want to keep h...

Hogus, did you factor in room and board in that equation? I'm curious also about how much it takes to live fairly comfortable in LOS. It's real bummer when you're on a tight budget and don't have a lifeline when you get low on cash. :( When I was there last September- October, I was feeling real go...

Dearly depressed, I know the feeling. It will have been nine months since my first and only visit to Hua Hin when I return in July and then it will only be for two weeks because of my job. Lucky you, you have a brand new house to look forward to. Prison life ain't so bad after all......when you're ...
