Yes when I was up in the village, only my girl, a gay lad (who died) and one other Yank spoke English - well I not sure about the Yank!!!!!! I felt embarassed and sad that I could not talk to Palmmy's very disabled grandmother or her friends. But as you get older your brain can only cope with so much. My dad spoke 6 languages he said it was like being able to play music you either could or you could not. I never really cracked any language so no hope with Thai, tired Welsh started and gave up when I realised how easy it made French and German look. So will have hope that when I go to ,my friend will do all the talking and expect I will do all the paying. Keep safe all of you

Yes agree nearly did it 5 years ago but when I looked at what I would save in rent here in UK, council tax, electric water gas car tax petrol etc. it looked a good deal as I had already done house and bought car - sadly when i looked into the cost of my pills and potions plus my health insurance and the loss of my business it became more expensive to go to Thailand Also I am lousy at languages, hate the heat above 32degrees and totally hate snakes so I was born in the UK and will no doubt die in the UK though I have been coming to Thailand for 47 years

The Ducks duely arrived yesterday, 100 in number, so more added work for my girl. But she put the rubber to bed on Monday after 7 weeks of working nearly every night. For those of you who do not realise, working on a Thai farm is gruelling labour. 7 dyas a week 52 weeks a year. Many families will be pleased that the Ladyboy member has returned home and can take a lot of the manual labour off elderly parents shoulders. While my girls family appreciated the money she sent - they really appreciate her return and she works bloody hard. Of course they really appreciate that she has silly old friend who send a few bhts now and then. They are suggesting I go live there so I can be looked after - must have ATM stamped to my forehead. Well as the money has gone to the ducks and following me being a dick - my two favourites at Sweethearts will have to do without their odd drinks for a while.

Amazing I go to the bar to have a drink, meet friends and chat to ladyboys not to do a finiancial review but different things turn on different people

yes had phone call today Monday 8th at 2.30 for mine not sure which one I will get

it is my girl's 29th tomorrow. She asked me for a birthday present 7000 to buy Ducks she says they cost 135bht each and she wants a 100 but auntie will pay half anyone know about Ducks in Thailand She wants them to sell the eggs and to breed she is also hoping to dig "big hole to make pond to breed fish and for the ducks" that will cost 20000 but she will raise that herself Whatever happened to the sick Buffalo

Update my girl's vegetable garden she and her mother work hard and it sure looks well looked after These taken just before Xmas 2020 ps no problem loading these photos

I think it is pineapple or that is what it tastes like to me Yes BB Grunt the girls I kiss remember for years perfection is hard to improve on

Had wanted to join you But you have to have a facebook account which I do not have Shame I wanted to see everyone Do not really want to join facebook, I avoided it for years, I have line, whats ap and skype, so enough enough I miss being in Emmy's Bar. I have had many hours drinking my malibu and sapalot, relaxing, watching Teya getting drunk and talking to BB Grunt a most entertaining person , actual proof of life after death. I like Emmy and Teya and have enjoyed all the visits I have made, amazingly I have never bar found any one, though i have kissed the wrong girl for an Jimmy the Aussie went back to Sweethearts it so easy to connect!!!!!!

I think Grunt is third from right, guess this an old photo

Thanks for kind words and support. Strange world sitting here 9 days in, wondering if I am suddenly going to be struck down with the virus. So much advice, so many different thoughts and knowledge. Some saying you past the worst probably going to be ok, others saying after 14 days you might be in hospital. So learning to be calm, watch netflix/amazon, look at the forums, read my kindle and do some of ebay shop work (though struggeling to get carried away with work). Will see what tomorrow will bring, my daughter is on the mend, though still in bed most of the time. Anyway, another thank you, it helps to know people are routing for you

I also had test today so waiting to see what is what - to be honest worried I am too old, diabetic and heart so we will see. But in Pattaya a closure is sure to finish a number of bars that are only just hanging on. The girls/LBs are going to suffer badly, unless they work for some one like Sweethearts who will support them for a month, many I am sure will return home if they can. Those who cannot for various reasons are going to struggle. What a start to 2021 Happy New Year from lockdowned Wales

What a pair great art work Quinn wish you stop making the two of better looking in your artwork wish Teya a happy birthday and give Emmy a kiss from me, always had a soft spot for her. keep well you two old people as I said elsewhere I am in enforced quarentine, cannot leave home until midnight on 4th jan. Went to my daughter for Xmas who tested negative on Tuesday last week but another girl in office was ill, but would not go home, now all three in the section including my daughter tested possitive on Boxing day. So I am waiting to see if I have it, rather frightening as I head to my 70th and having just to sit at home and see if you get the symptons and then if you can trying to fight this virus and trying not to die, great start for 2021. But then i knew the risk when I went felt I had to see her. thats what dads are for

13 degrees at Buriram -"it very cold here, only 13 degrees, cannot find blanket and even colder doing rubber tree" so i am told. Thats very cold for Thailand it was 12 degrees in lockdown Wales today It was 14 degress in Chiang Mai in 2010 when i was there and the army was giving out blankets

so now we will see if they manage a pandemic in the country though i note the government says it is the fault of foreign workers even though a Thai was first reported with it wonder what will happen next
