Irish Johnny is down from Bangkok, were going to Lewinsky's for a couple eye openers, Bacardi and Jack/coke 110baht each. American Breakfast about 120 baht . Par 3 golf 400 baht.Bolt 100 baht each way. There may be scouts from the LIV tour there and we will probably get an invite so I wont be posting with you cunts here anymore.

Yup and incredible stupid rules. If the weather was poor, a frequent occurrence they would cancel last minute. Policy was no refund.

Strong advice,it can be a lot of pissing around depending on your province. If the wife says fuck off I'm in the PI in a month. I'm in a difficult position with NON-OA , requires health insurance, As to marriage I may want to provide a survivors annuity to the wife yes the Marriage had to be certified by the US for her to get a pension but not a problem. I have always been a plan b,c guy so a marriage visa would be that in the unlikely event of No more Agents. Thats a big rice bowel I believe probably not happening.

Banchang is on my list do do. I have never been and will probably catch Adams next bar crawl there. Im just back to Pattaya for a year, howling at the moon, love seeing, partying with many friends. Winding down my dirty life and times with the girls. But at the end of the lease I may be ready for the quiet beach life. Ill rent a bike and tour for a week or two but perhaps I'll land there if i can upgrade to a nice beachfront place.. Been to Hua Hin a couple times and a possibility but I would like to be in striking distance of Pattaya. Maps shows 1 hour from Ban Chang beach to LK Metro. An

It’s a lovely thing, rents have not significantly increased in 10 years. I paid 20k for probably the most hi so place on the beach for 6 years. Now returning I told the Realtor I don’t want to live in Northpoint but find me something directly on the beach for 15 k which he did, also many house are in your range though a private pool is higher . I think Jacko and force know about house cost. For reference my condo is 55 sq, renovated as I’m an old dude and cannot do bathtubs. I sit on the balcony tracking the ships going in to Leam Chabang

Neither agent I dealt with cared or was interested in my SSI , they prefer to do the 1 hour 800,000 loan. Past 2 years they required me to visit the Bank Last week they did everything . They also don’t accept the letter anymore unless your O-A . O retirement probably the best. On the car I bought a used CRV, 350,000 bullet proof only use it in the rain. Love driving my CBR but now looking at the traffic in Pattaya I’ll pass bringing it down. And yes register the TM 30, previously not a big deal but the fines are back , changes at the whim of the I/O.

Would be my question also as I don't want to lock money in a Thai Bank. My Bank Book shows a continuous monthly deposit from overseas funds > 65,000 baht a month.

I realize I was misleading about health insurance. I retired from the Federal Government so have a generous heath insurance benefit. It has been criticized in the past as unfair compared to those that rely on Medicare or other private insurance. I think true but its the same BCBS that members of Congress have even when they are out of office. So you can see where any attacks on that perk are going. As to the women , while I'm no Gabor ,Expat cost are radically different from even LT visitors. No Walking Street but also no Beach road. But with my relationship with the wife those times

House build in KK: 400,00 total. Split with wife and her sister. They had the land about 1.2 million. But I was WTF is the Air con, refrigerator.landscaping, hot water heater? So another 200,000 of my money. Electric 3,000. Internet 1,000 month way overpaying so can cut that in half. Not eating Thai or Lao Thai food 5 Million/month from Villa and Paleo Robbies. Ok maybe 20k/3 months. Up country Makro about 1200 month for vegetables,fruit assorted junk ,candy. R/T flight KKC-BKK 1250 baht, Nams taxi to Pattaya 1200, Aot to Bangkok 1200 also. Beachfront condo in Naklua 15,000/month. B

Well done Catbird, beautiful car. Like Shooter many of us wanted the Camaros, Firebirds and GTOS'. I was always a foreign car guy with low end Porsche ,MGB,and Tr3. Foolishly sold them and now wished I retained them to give to my son.

RG was bolstered by the FLB guys. My first trip i came in after midnite and asked the security guy if I could get beers at the 7/11. He saved my ass as an American I tried to cross the road looking left instead of the on coming Baht bus , we drank for awhile in the garage. In the morning I met Mi Papa and several other FLBs by the pool asking should I go right or left to Walking Street. Papa took me on the full tour explaining in a day what would have taken a year to learn. I met the love of my life at the FLB bar that night, later in bed she said I have to go now. I said no please stay

With my Brother and son coming in Sept and several taxi trips planned, not just Airports, Yuri seems a good alternative if Nams is getting to busy. They are about the same price as Nams, not overpriced. So would be interested in reviews or how many trips are being passed from Nams to Yuri. I like the overpriced AOT Bkk to Sukhumvit but they are too much to Pattaya and 1/2 day trips.

Thanks for the clarification, I don't fly DMK so will continue to use Nams.
