I know mate, that's why i try and put a perspective on it. When you refer to 'here', you're talking about the part you live in, which let's face facts here, isn't a part of Thailand any of these lads would head to for a holiday. We both know why people end up in towns like your's. They are hardly tourist havens.
I had three years of jollying it up and found it boring as **** in the end. I go to Pattaya occasionally but only for two days at a time. Issan is real Thailand as you know.
Issan is where bloke go to once they've met birds from places like Pattaya, of they go, get some land, build a house (which always belongs to the other half). But my point is mate, Thailand isn't cheap where the lads on here may head to for a holiday. Unless they want to eat street food and sit outside a 7/11 drinking chang at 8am.
It isn't now as the pounds dropped by 30% and the Thai baht is 7% higher than it should be. There are loads of guys here who live here that didn't come with totty from the tourist areas but a lot do mind. Tourism here has dropped dramatically and Pattaya is half empty and Hua Hin is 50% worse. Most now go to Cambodia and Vietnam.
I’m hungry again now as it happens but my Mrs has fell asleep on my lap, it’s not worth waking her up!
I’ve got the urge for a pudding. Only option is a ready made apple crumble and a tin of custard. What I’d like is a treacle tart.
Same dilemma. Choice of a Cornetto (Strawberry or Chocolate) or some Bara Brith (don’t ask) @luvgonzo
I quite simply can’t be arsed to wait to cook a crumble. What I’d love is that weird Arab cake stuff. Can’t think what it’s called. Syrupy filo pastry stuff.
That’s the ****er. Love that stuff. Instant sugar hit. Can you buy it in a supermarket? Can’t say I’ve ever seen it anywhere?
You can get little boxes from Waitrose but it’s nowhere near as good as you’d find in Rusholme or Chorlton at the independent shops. I could eat boxes of it.
It's ridiculous stuff. Wondering when my Jordanian trainee engineers wife is going to bring a tin of the good stuff back, it must be due. I could eat the (contents of) tin in a day, it's the most moreish food I've ever eaten.
