Haven't been in ages - from photos looks like Hua Hin now. One reason I stayed here was the vague incompetence, amusing corruption - felt very much like Sicily - but when it started getting serious started to feel like almost-Burma. If I was making the same decisions then, as now, I wouldn't have stayed. Prob to Chile or Argentina - language much easier too.

Like, I can accept living in a sheep farm, but it really sucks when the shepherd turns up.
Nout wrong with a farm bro, if you own it :-)
The analogy was purely animal farmesque ;-)
yeah, have a small plot, but really in the wrong area - am looking elsewhere now - takes time to just drive around and investigate stuff - real estate here is slow, unless one doesn't care much about paying over the odds.
So much land still without any real deed - pathetic.
Odd place, I dare say you will find a good spot, I needed a table, so just made one :-)
Now I need to work out a way to get it down near my bbq area, but I will.
move the BBQ maybe ;-)
Nah, got the Mrs to come over, moved the bench, nah NAH na NAH na, child I am. The BBQ I built with bricks n morter, hard to move earth.
Whole palaces have been moved - what's a bbq!?
Something for cooking with via charcoal and where it site it is not windy and shaded, so as it is not a palace, it is where it stays 😂
Maybe it needed to go through a cycle like it has, I left when I did not like it anymore, the police were corrupt, every authority figure was, like I said about Kenny Reese and his 1.5 million Baht fine for daring to sell on eBay. That did me, I was off then, if they do not want me, I do not want them, Bali it is then.
Especially if u have any kinda biz! Then it's hell. I still have almost nothing in my name.
The comparison with Sicily was not frivolous - been there, great place, but living there!! I asked some profs I got to know - they said was not fun - pay govscum then pay mafiascum too (same people, sometimes), nothing works without some extra kickback... sound familiar!?
What was funny, we met the mayor of Palermo, at one of his residences - maybe he chose it for effect - riddled with bullet holes - he must have had a dozen fully armed guards - don't think we looked all that dangerous! Mind you, even the univ campus had armed guards patrolling.
"pay govscum then pay mafiascum too (same people, sometimes), nothing works without some extra kickback... sound familiar!?" Yes, and even when I lived in Spain 8 years ago, Spain worked like that, so did Thailand, Bali and to some extent here, but on a micro-scale here.
