Looks good but I would be too greedy to share.

It has been about 5 years since I spent time out our house just off Soi Nern Plab Wan so I am not upto date with much on the Darkside. We bought our place back in 2002 and then the Darkside was a bit sparse with bars and restaurants. That is not the case now with the 4 main tributaries (Soi Siam Country Club, Soi Nern Plab Wan, Soi Khao Noi and Soi Khao Talo) now having plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. These days I only head into town to catch up with friends oterwise I stay on the Darkside. Most banks also have branches on this side of the highway. That said I believe you will need to have your own transport to get around the place. For the last few trips Murphy's Darkside Irish bar has been my local and with the new house the missus has bought it should even be in walking distance.

Most bars don't have a kitchen but if you are hungry a lot of them will get you a feed from somewhere.

A few more photos:

21:00 now that is what I call being regular.

I've just finished peeling the prawns for dinner.

This morning I'm going to look at a reloadable home to buy to put in my block of land in a small fishing village back in Australia. It is located in a nearby fishing village. They are asking Aud$25,000 plus there will be relocation and council charges.

Well the morning phone call did not go well. Apparently the original dam was no good so now it is being deepened and an access road put around it. This may be all fine accept none of the properties she has bought are in her name. I do not want her spendng a cent on any land until it is in her name. Apparently it is all my fault as because she is married to a foreigner I need to go to all the different Land Departements to sign forms saying I have no financial claim on the properties. For the recent house purchase her Thai lawyer sent a form to me that had to be signed by an Australian lawyer. I did this and paid him $300 only for it to be rejected by the Land Department office. I am sick of all this shit.

To be honest with the photos the missus sent me overnight I have no idea what she is doing. Don't think it is for growing rice. I think I'll have to wait for the morning bullshit call.

Not really sure why this is happening but the missus has drained the dam on her land and is now getting it ready for the family to farm it.

Mud crab for dinner tonight. I have my lucky Pattaya Sports Club crab catcing t-shirt on.

Even worse when you see a couple of board members from this forum in the bar.

Warm beer.

Lunch at the local sports club. Very nice it was.
