Hahaha ..Next up is removing Chinese and Laos influence on Thai food....but I'm biased because I love pineapple on pizza !!

Love a good Hawaiian pizza 

Hmm remind me to give beach rd a miss  for a few days 

It's 7 am I'm still on holiday and my apprentice messages me telling me he's on his way to see me 

I'm wondering what drama is about to unfold 

Digging the ground works to put in a glass house while she that thinks she should be obeyed is still in issan 

Got a couple of fit keen philipinoes from work swinging on the pick and wheelbarrow, these guys know how to work

That sounds awfully like a Thai bank holiday delay - there was one last week- just a guess / hunch for the delay as mine have normally been Instant

That was today its still not showing in my account but got the message from wize that it has been sent to my account a couple of hours ago 

I just sent money to Thailand and it took almost 24 hours to send the money to my bank account 

They used to be fast but not now 

Just got home from Thailand  

Need some real food like brown bread cheese might really go all out and cook a  big roast pork roast spuds etc

its 18c here feels freezing

There should be one heck of a rice and weed crop this year...

Up in surin because of the rain are saying can't harvest the rubber the ground is to wet to get the cassava and the rice is still under water and needs to be dry now

3 to 6 months is normal in many countries with my dad it took almost a year to wind up his estate

for me the thing about Thailand is the nightlife and how open , easy and safe it is ... there is no where else I've been to that like it 

Couldn't agree more 

You can stagger back to your hotel pretty safe

Managed 30 mins by the pool before it started pissing down again ...

About the same time as yesterday 

Thinking about going camel toe never been heard it can get very interactive in there 

Any one got any feedback on it or interested in going 

Buakau soi Diana almost up to car headlights 

We both live and work full time in nz

What I have done 

My wife gets every thing .the thai house on her land would automatically become unencumbered as I loaned her a big chunk of the construction cost  but have never requested payment ( bank of nick ) back in nz my sister is co executor with my wife ( to help with legal stuff and her old uni buddy is a uni teacher here in Thailand is also on board now good friend to my wife)

Nz side wife my thai wife gets everything except my remaining liquid assets ( spend spend) which would go to my my 2 adult daughters ( who never contact me from 1 year to the next) but make the will hard to contest if I leave them something  

She could then sell one of the bits of nz land that is in my name and keep our new nz house ( jointly owned) and live comfortably but not rich 

If she goes before me her thai assets become his and he gets 25% of my assets along with my adult grandson ( long story ) and my daughters kids get 50%

I have been mulling over this response for a couple of days, unable to decide whether to reply with my true feelings or not. Not only because of your reply but because of the emoji responses from @Golfingboy and @boydeste

Do you know how offensive that reply was to me, telling me how to run my family? I am especially surprised by @boydeste agreeing with you, given that none of you live here, nor have a 20 year old daughter born and bred here dating a Thai boy that were happy just to survive with a job here for the last few years.

If a Thai boy dating my daughter were to invite us all out for a high end dining experience then I would immediately become suspicious of his income.

Jeez. I have been seething for a few days now!

Don't I was being facetious

Some of us might be half deaf already 😅 its already to late to worry about what an app says 😂,,but yea if one wants to listen to 4 or 5 live bands at the same time amps cranked to maximum volume i guess that tree town is the place,reminded me of abbes bar in waking street ,if you didnt sit far enough back in the bar it was just a mish mash of music.

I'm half deaf anyway, way too much industrial noise back when who the hell wore earmuffs,  like floating boiler safteys and hours hanging on to disc grinder 

Just booked hotel in deepest darkest Isaan 9 days of showering from a water barrel, I'm over it been staying at in laws head to pattaya tomorrow night. The Mrs is coming down for 2-3 days she's not been there for over well over decade

Damm that hot shower felt awesome and I feel clean 

I went in to Maggie mays last trip ( pre covid) wouldn't have clased it as a GC 

Looks like same app as mine

Packing my tools and various parts for our biannual trip to our house in Buriram tomorrow.  I'll be on maintenance and upgrades duty while the Mrs and kids visit with family.

How do you get on with the house empty for long periods Mrs is just finishing the last parts of her mansion in phanomdongrak not that far from you?  Any or much damage theft

I am probably worse off than you financially and thoroughly enjoy street food too but there ARE people out there with money and are willing to spend it on what they see as fine dining as opposed to expensive, overpriced hotel food.

When I start getting my extra pension in December I might take my daughter out to one of the places recommended on this thread as she only visits me once every couple of months.

EDIT = Her Boyfriend can pay for himself!

Boyfriend should be paying for everything 

Obviously time to set the ground rules there
