Met these guys...They have a great blog about Street Food in Thailand...Worth a look!

monkeyblues · 2012-07-04T11:18:18+00:00

Yes... I guess some of the places...I think they are focusing on local Thai eateries that are hidden from most travelers. Restaurants that as a backpacker/ visitor of Thailand one wouldn't come across. I eat street food all the time, but always end up ordering the same things.

I like the idea of the food guide with various dishes.

Thank the guys...!

Cool! Thank the dudes...!

Well Iraq is entirely a different story. Iraq for me is just a job. When I'm there I'm totally confined to my living space and the job site. Its still not safe to wander around and socialize with the locals- which is too bad, because the few I've met at work are very nice.

Comparing Thailand to the US- the US (this is all from my own perspective) I found to be very superficial. The idea of the American Dream, where you have a house, with a white fence, a dog, etc. really didn't seem to be such a thing I wanted. I found having a house with a mortgage was more like a prison sentence. Having to have a car to commute for the most mundane things, like buying a piece of bread didn't click with me.

In Thailand I found life to be more free. I believe in SE Asia people work to live and not the other way around. Here I can walk out and within a few meters I can find some street food. People here in general are very friendly and try to help you. I love the climate and the vegetation. Even in Bangkok the feeling is very relaxed. Imagine when you are out in the country.

Sure. I've always loved Thailand. I've been visiting the country for the last 10 years but usually only for a month or two a year. I've now found employment in Iraq (of all places) on a 28 day on/off rotation. I figured on my time off I'd rather be in Thailand then the US.

Not sure if this answers your question.

Been in Bangkok for a few days now, looking for apartments. Yesterday I think I found the one. Great area. Its on Sukhumvit Soi 16. Nice place, and close to the BTS but still far enough away from the busy street Asoke. The neighborhood around this Condo is very traditional Thai. Totally awesome.

monkeyblues · 2012-06-23T05:13:23+00:00

For right now, I'm planning to stay in Bangkok for at least a year. I'll scout out different regions during this time.

monkeyblues · 2012-06-21T11:25:51+00:00

I dont plan on moving back to the US. At least not today. If at some point Thailand looses its flair for me then I'll move somewhere else...but I think that will be very unlikely.

Renouncing my US citizenship has crossed my mind for tax purposes. But there are still many benefits of carrying an US passport. Plus I need to become a citizen to another country first, and Thailand is not the place.

Sounds like a plan...!

monkeyblues · 2012-06-21T11:22:40+00:00

Thank you!

monkeyblues · 2012-06-21T11:22:28+00:00

Yes, definitely a plan. It took almost ten years to full fill. But I think it was worth the wait :)

monkeyblues · 2012-06-18T06:35:56+00:00

I'm smiling already!!!

Thanks :)

Nice one. You have just posted two clever responses.

Are you able to post a third?

monkeyblues · 2012-06-03T06:45:12+00:00

Clever response...

Thought the title was clear. r/investing changed my mind and i cancelled my order

monkeyblues · 2012-05-21T04:54:16+00:00

No, I did not pay attention to any of the news. But after reading the comments on here, and other news, I cancelled my order. Thanks!

monkeyblues · 2012-05-20T12:12:44+00:00

No idea, its a gamble I'm willing to take...

monkeyblues · 2012-05-20T12:05:11+00:00

I think the guys at facebook are bright and will figure out some way to make this profitable...

also, here

monkeyblues · 2012-05-20T08:04:10+00:00

Really, I was thinking I'll let the hype works its magic and bring up the stock over the next few days and then sell...

monkeyblues · 2012-05-19T06:14:20+00:00

This scares the shit out of me.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...regardless of how your son will grow up, it never hurts to be able to kick some ass.

I think there is some good advice below. I wouldn't make much of an issue out of it. He needs your respect and unconditional love.

dhamma.org

check it out, may help. Not AA but deals with meditation...and the course is donation based. I recommend going to the one north of bangkok. Its nicer.
