Flashermac 1303 Report post Posted October 6, 2015 I'm returning to LOS soon, but I'll be busy apartment hunting. Don't expect me out and about or on line until I find a new residence. p.s. Moving sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nasiadai 70 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Dear Flashermac, I don't understand a word A year ago the lease - your rental contract - was terminated and you had to move from BKK to Chonburi. Now you tell us that you have to move again. So very gradually I start thinking that you're not a real human being, but a phantom, a ghost. An annotation: I have your mailbox littered with my German reports - for my German people at home. Try to understand my texts and enjoy the pictures.

zzzz 30 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 Hey Flash, I thought you were in Chomburi, like Nasiadai said. Now you sound like you had gone back to USA. So what have you been doing lately? How are things going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't afford the rent by myself, so I'll be moving back to the big city and an apartment. Not happy about moving, but it's economics ... plus being close to decent hospitals. (I've got nerve damage - either related to an injury or Agent Orange. If it's AO, I may have to fly back to a VA hospital some time.) I'd forgotten about the sedgeford email address. I'll have to go look. Thanks for them.(I can read German, by my listening comprehension has got pretty crappy. ) p.s. I was in the U.S. for a month or so. Enjoyed it ... until it started getting cold. Cold weather sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavanami 426 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 Big city, meaning Bangkok or Pattaya/Jomtien? The Pattaya area has some nice, economical advantages over Bangkok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flashermac 1303 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 I'm closer to Pattaya than Chonburi. The air is clean, it's quiet, traffic is much lighter, plenty of nice restaurants just a short drive away... Best of all is Jomtien immigration! They are friendly and helpful, much nicer than Chaengwattana (where to be honest the staff are really overworked). Jomtien immigration makes you feel welcome in Thailand, not like some pain in the arse they wish would leave them alone. But rent in Sodom by the Sea is almost the same as Bangkok, which is why I'm out in the boondocks. I considered staying, but overall it just makes more sense to return to the Big Durian. (My Mrs wants me to move up north with her, but she means for me to work. I don't know if I'm ready for that. Pretending to teach is one thing, but working at a real university is another. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
