I would love to get out of bangkok to live, but don mueang is my base. I have very comfortable quarters and a beautiful woman who keeps me out of trouble. So all is good.
Hope you are doing well and the good folks treating you well.
I know it’s a rarely found concept on FR, but I do believe friends can have differing opinions and have a healthy and enjoyable discussion about them.
IMO, you are nitpicking. “Mumbling” is not in the same category as the examples you gave, although I do defer to you as what is common in the aviation industry. Anyway, I think we have beat this subject to death unless you want to have the last word, which you are more than welcome to. ;-)
There’s probably at least 1/2 dozen FReepers living in Thailand and I get the impression a few dozen more seriously considering it. It’s very pleasant where I live - quiet, comparatively clean, uneventful, which is the way I like it.
Good to hear you are comfortable in Bangkok.
