Vehicle in falang's name
Just returned from getting approval from immigration to buy a vehicle in my name. I actually paid for the vehicle before getting any of the approvals, oops! :oops: Let me cut to the chase and not bore you with the running around I did. :roll: Here's the skinny. Immigration needed: - Copy of info a...

Showing the Flag
I think kjellsnell has some it up precisely. There is nothing wrong in being proud of ones national heritage and displaying the flag of ones homeland. It's should, however, be displayed along with the Thai flag out of respect for the host country. In the US it's not uncommon to see flags from many d...

The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.' The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is color-...

The Expat Experience
I didn't realize that this thread would develop into such an exercise of introspection. It seems that we all have had our bitter with our sweet. Some of us have found a home, some of us have thoughts of moving on and some have left. Those who have stayed have found the best method of coping that wo...

Now What? (American Politics)
I think this sums it up.

US MARINES, gotta love them
I just received the following in an email. I don't know if it's reporting a valid conversation or not, but it sounds very plausible. Hur-rah :badteeth: "In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Irania...

The Expat Experience
You're right, of course, Parrot. I do pick and choose those things that make my life more comfortable. I do manage a simple existence for the most part. I perhaps mis-communicated my yearnings. It was the attitude or mindset that accompanied life forty years ago that I miss. The "keeping up with the...

Your right about the electronic age. So much information available, so much change inevitable.
I yearn for the less materialistic, simpler life of Issan forty years ago. It's not to be found, even in the smallest villages. Well I still have my memories....

The Bookhouse is Rebranding Itself !!
Nok & Jeremy, Just recently returned to Udon and had Sunday Roast. Excellent as always. :badteeth: Your new place is very upscale, but you've managed to keep the comfortable ambience of the old "shop". I'm looking forward to see what the future brings. I'm sure the additions will be in keeping with...

Scoots are very personal pieces of machinery. The memories and emotions evoked by a fine machine are components that can't be explained to the uninitiated. I hope you find what your looking for.
