It is exactly 3 years since my now ultralongtimegirlfriend and myself spent the first night at a stinking motel miles outside Bangkok where some illiterate taxidriver-arsehole had taken us after my gf had asked him to take us to a reasonable hotel. his brother worked there.

later we found out that neither she nor myself did carry any condoms in standby so that we spent the rest of the night discussing if Mother Theresa or David Beckham is the better person. On the TV they showed nothing but dirty Thai-porno which made her saying " Falang mad " from time to time but there were no falangs anywhere on the screen.

Anyhow after breakfeast I thought this was an extra-fine lady and when I asked her if she would like to move backwards upcountry and I could could assist her to open this restaurant, it was the first time I heard her saying " KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... "

After these years I have learned that you can drink 5 Singha for lunch although your weight is only 44 kgs and can still drive a car.

Isuzu - pickup. Why the hell do all Thais think the only real automobile is a pickup ? On the dashboard from the left she fitted a golden plastic box to hold Kleenex tissues, followed by something that looks like a compass but " Make good smell dahlin " . Next come 3 portraits af the Royal Family , followed by about 20 Buddhas in various layouts. A funny thing I noticed last week were 100 golden colour kind of footprints above the driver's seat. " Monk make this " she said. Have to watch next time S if I see any monks walking upside down along the roof in a pickup.

Thais are nationalists, ze Führer would be delighted. My gf has two sisters of the heavy farmers type , she is the youngest and looks more white-faced Chinese to be honest. Once I suggested if beloved Mummy might have had a rendezvous with one of them hilltribe Chinese round the corner and that was a mistake. " KHUN xxxx ONEHUNDUTT PACENT THAI !!!!!!!", she yelled at me. Good God what a crisis. She never says "Me" or "I" , always Khun xxxx when talking about herself. I am Khun Falang, no idea if she knows my name.

" Need house !" was what I can vaguely remember as my first contact with the Thai property business. A builder was found , he looked like the guys you see on TV when there is another street riot in Jakarta. Pi de Chan was his name, unforgettable to me. Mister Pi's mantra was "Money for material ! ". But gf and Mr. Pi did have good understanding I remember and house ready very soon , more expensive than estimated by Mr. Pi but with aircon . And a garage for the pickup with the 20 Buddhas. A buffalo_bill special by the way :house owned by Khun XXXX , financed by Farmer's Bank, Farmer's Bank loan backed by buffalo_bill cash deposit. so nothing moves without the Farmer's Bank and buffalo_bill, just to be on the safe side. I am not totally stupid. This way you keep control, they do not allow you to own land I was told by some lawyer.

Enough now, just became aware of how fast 3 years went by. Long live the Land Of Smiles and his great ladies kaaa....

cheers

Hi,

"A funny thing I noticed last week were 100 golden colour kind of footprints above the driver's seat. " Monk make this " she said."

Yep, good luck. Lots of taxis have this as well.

Surprised they were gold colored. All the ones I have seen were white.

"Pi de Chan was his name"

Could this have been "Phii Dichan", in other words "my older brother"?

Sanuk!

Thanks for that , BB, I think you're a bit ahead of me. It's nice to know these things before they may happen. Maybe we can meet up one day, I can feed you some Singha's you can give me lessons in what to expect.

More please
