I hope you will be able to give us updates on how you are experiencing the move as the months go on. I do use Bolt here, seems to work well but yet to use itin super peak hours at the weekend. Fares are very reasonable in my view but maybe not as super cheap at Pattaya. Was chatting to one Patts visitor who seems to attract rain wherever he goes, and the fares seem surreal they were so low in Patts. Will post the odd update is anything interesting comes along, good or bad. Life is pretty laid back here, not too much excitment, I kind of like that😛 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat the location I enjoyed a much lower rent lunch in KFC just over the road in Market Village yesterday. 108 baht for a Zinger, fries and a soda. Wouldn't touch it in the UK but was excellent. Just saying in case you get bored of that colonial 4 star luxury😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom51red Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 nute ago Pretty good timing 👌 2 hours later arrived southern terminal ,stopped 3 times but only inside bkk least not at any small towns,driver never went over 80klm,maybe cos we had a monk in the front,who knows,had 1 spare seat between myself and another lady sat aisle seat,not endorsing minivans,but it was pleasant. On another van now towards hua hin,have a feeling this one will make more stops but no hurry now. Quote Reply to this topic... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom51red Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Just off the ft with gf,she witnessed a fatality yesterday driving home from work,a falang was doing a u turn on petchakesam road and 2 schoolkids 15 apparently hit him on a pcx,said ambulance took 10 minutes to arrive,his body was in a bad way,I asked if they were speeding,as I often see kids on skinny wheeled pcxs tearing down that road,she's pretty shocked by it,wonder how it will turn out for falang,said I know him, see him many times,but can't think who. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Derek Dangleberries Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 I've arrived home. 'Twas a very painful walk that took almost an hour. Whilst I was away the Wicked Witch called to ask where I was because she decided to pay me a surprise visit..... Anyways, I got home and she had changed my bedsheets which were due anyway but then I realised that she had washed my duvet as well !!! It was just getting to the sweaty, wet, old doggy blanket smell that I like. It takes Months to achieve that stage of comfort !!!! Then I went in to the toilet ..... and she had removed my homemade plastic urinal from the wall !!! My mates had handcrafted it whilst on their tea break using a hotel plastic detergent container. That was a few years ago and it was just beginning to smell like a 70s pub toilet ..perfect !! There are a few on here that had the pleasure of using it ...I think @forcebwithu took a photo ... So lets put our unwashed hands together, bow our heads to breath in the last breath of stale urine and pray that it Rests In Piss ... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) I've just started cooking lunch and of course the Wicked Witch has been mooching around my fridges. My old fridge (it is old but it is beautiful @Krapow "Stoppit FFS!!") has a freezer compartment that has a dodgy door and I know damned well when the Witch or my daughter have looked inside !! Sure enough it is beginning to ice up too much ...hopefully I have caught it in time !! Edited November 9, 2023 by Derek Dangleberries 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I am making up for the last two years when I could hardly walk and certainly couldn't travel. Been finalizing the details of my month in Thailand in March this morning. Bored this afternoon and the weather in Scotland is shite as usual. So I just booked a week in Tenerife on the 6th December with Jet2. 🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) Last night I put my toe through the duvet because it is so bloody old and thin now. I think the Wicked Witch put paid to it with its final wash... So I logged into Lotus, and what did I see?? A Brand of duvets for delivery to me!! https://www.lotuss.com/en/product/52459115 70% off ...209 Baht each down from 699, so I ordered two last night for delivery today ... Sure they are thin summer ones but that is all I need ! Fill yer boots !! Edited November 10, 2023 by Derek Dangleberries 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tko Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 USMC birthday, so I sent emails out. Got emails back asking when my phone is on? It's a magicjack VOIP app on my cell. I almost never get a ring. Call history tells me I missed many. After seeing that, it was me who made the calls. So good to speak to those I served with. Semper Fi, do or die. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
