Totally agree with BB. Whereas people who are dependent on pensions or rentals from the old country have my full sympathy. It most be terible to see your monthly income decrease by 20-25%, without beeing able to do something about it. On the other hand, I know quite a few people here from UK, who ar...

Just before you hit the flyover to BKK, keep left, u-turn under the flyover and go back about 1 km. Shoppinghouse all in orange. Thai-chinese couple doing real nice furnitures.
