Hope it was't a Surf!

[Brit in Thailand]

Just got back from a long trip to one of the national parks here in Thailand.
Coud'nt believe the mileage (Kiloage ?) I got out of the Sports Rider. 660kms on a full tank. Average speed was 100kmh, 6 adults in the car (It's a 7 seater). Back and front air-con on all the time.

Anyhow today I have been catching up with things, and of course the vital thing was to listen to the 'Archers' omnibus edition on the BBC internet service. David Archer was run of the road by an illegal greenlaner tearing down one of the bridleways in Ambridge. To add insult to injury the details that the miscreant driver gave to our David turned out to be false. Hope it was no one on here!

I reckon I'll be booted off here or this, but... I'd love a Pajero Evo, even if it does look terminally gay!

Living in Thailand

It's quite a splendid place to live as well, I know, I had enough of the United Blairdom Nanny state.
Still even here there are drawbacks. As a foreigner I have to present myself every 90 days to immigration to prove my address, no real hardship as the whole process takes about 10 minutes, and once per year I have to present a bank statement that proves that I have had paid in X ammount of money to support myself for the next year, so that I do not rely on the Thai state. (there are no social bennefits whatsoever for foreigners, so figure that one out).
My first year here I had to physically leave the country every 90 days, just over a local border, and turn arround again.
Can you immagine all your lot in the UK going to France every 90 days?

Up the hill? Was that Phi-Phi island? The wife and I were going to go down to Phi-Phi island for the Christmas holiday, a couple of days before Christmas, saw this Toyota Sports Rider 5 in the dealers and had to have it. Could'nt afford a holiday as well! Lost a few diving buddies who were resident on the island, very sad.
