cardinalblue Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Never - I live here! There are thinkers and doers in the world. Three years ago, I changed from thinking about LOS to executing a game plan to move here. And then one year later......Presto. Stop thinking and do something about it. I approached it like a work project. If I did, anyone with a little savvy and planning skills CAN! cardinalblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iono Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Pom_Jao_Choo I have learned not to be open with these thoughts because it will drive your co workers crazy if you mention every frequent thought. I'm just learning to shut my mouth I'm seeing that others just don't get it (so as to not look crazy I now shut my soup coolers). My Plans are in the works I'm actually changing my profession so I can work 6 months in states and hang out in LOS 6 months. I'd say at the least once a day something reminds me of LOS or of other Asian places. Dam it's hell, maybe this Feb quick trip [ November 19, 2001: Message edited by: iono ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 In my case its how much time do i NOT think about LOS. Its easier to count those hours than the other way around. BTW, Soi7, you're from Philly? What area. Live in LA now but went to HS in Philly area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbear31 Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Glad to know I'm not alone! I think about LOS probably every 2 or 3 hours, since my trip in June. When I first came back, I thought about it constantly, probably even went into a little bit of a depression, so I'm happy that I can at least function some time without thinking about Nit, Noy, and Lek. Since returning, I would say all my 'long term' plans revolve around LOS. I am saving more money so that I can go there more often, I am taking Thai classes, and I have planned my 2002 visits already. I'm sure after a few more trips, I'll get it out of my system T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Well, I've lived here for decades, so I sort of take it for granted. But every now and then it does hit me just how lucky I am -- and say a silent prayer of gratitude. :-) p.s. And no, I don't prowl the bars. That gets old in a few months, believe it or not. I'm just happy to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togaduke Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 pretty much all the time, just working, and planning, and paying my bills, so I can go again, I am sure I have lost a sale or two do to the bangkok blues.. now that is a shame.....

Steve Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Tbear, I doubt you'll get it completely out of your system any time soon. That's the only part of your post I disagreed with. You're stuck on LOS with the rest of us....join the club, misery (for lack of a better word or bliss) loves company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJsushi Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 I only think about it when someone starts talking to me about it. There is this one guy that never has a conversation with me without bringing up how great Thailand is, sometimes I wish he would shut the hell up! I really do have to learn how to shut the hell up because I am pissing me off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMAN Z28 Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Pretty much every second of the day is spent thinking about Thailand. Even if I am not thinking about it, it is like a program running in the backround. ZMAN Z28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times you bring it to the desktop, but even when it's not, as soon as you boot up in the morning it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
