17 grand lasted me 6 months when I first went to Thailand nearly 9 years ago. I had a great time and wish I could do it all over again. I also wish I had saved my money!

dam_n straight. Harboring dead babies is just as serious as dropping a cigarette butt in public.


lol, thats true!

I lived in Thailand for 8 years and left last year. I loved it there, had a great job and enjoyed my lifestyle very much but in the end decided that my sons education was more important than me having fun. I do have very big plans on returning in a few years time. by then I hope Thailand will be more stable all around. I was working in Silom when it kicked off with the red shirts and it was then that I started thinking of returning home.

since being back in the UK things have been good, it was very hard work at first, finding a good job, home and in a good area for schools and everything else that comes with it. My wife has settled in very well, she is enjoying our way of life but she does miss her job very much, it would be great to get her a job over here that is in line with what she was doing in Thailand. Sales for food and beverage companies, she traveled a lot with that job and I think she would like to do that here. but unfortunatly she has only found part time waitress possition at Thai restaurants.

My son is now 4 and his English is great, he is doing well in Nursery and looking forward to starting school in September. he also loves life over here, more freedom in many ways for him, nice playing fields and interesting places to walk to or around. bike riding and such.

My job is is good, I am looking forward to moving on and eventually running my own pub, so yeah, its not been bad over here.

I do miss my social life and miss my mates very much but the benefits of moving home have out-weighed all of that and we now look forward to holiday there.

I left for a reason, and if I were not married and had no children I would of happly stayed in Bangkok. so if you are going to leave make sure you have a good reason to as that will make it easier when you look back wondering why you did it.


P.S
only come back if you have the possibility to find a decent job, or you have savings. It took me a year to find the Job I want. I did work in the meantime, but didnt enjoy the jobs. also it is expensive, car insurance and fuel is a joke. so do your homework before moving so you dont get a shock.

I knew Rick very well at one point, lovely fellow. I'm very sad to hear about this. RIP Rick.

Troll for sure. No way are you not getting any if it's how you describe. All these overweight English girls are getting some so you sure as should be.
