When the article “From the South to Isaan. Day 4 “ of Lung addie appeared on the blog last week I was once again on “marode”. This time not so far from home, but to Hua Hin, to meet a Belgian former neighbor who stayed there for a few days. Lung addie had planned to spend 5 days without telephone and internet. This is why he couldn't respond to the reactions his "Day 4" article provoked.
For people going on holiday or even living in another country, the availability of clean drinking water can be a problem. Buying bottled water is one solution. Other solutions can be boiling the water or working with filters or purification tablets.
Many of us will remember it fondly: the impressive EVA Air Boeing 747 that we once flew to Bangkok. EVA has been flying from Schiphol to Suvarnabhumi with more modern Boeing 777-300ERs for some time now, but in my opinion this aircraft does not have the grandeur of the 747 jumbo jet.
In almost every travel guide you will read that the best time to visit Thailand is between November and March. It rains the least and it is not too hot. There are also many festivals (including Loi Krathong) and holidays in Thailand during those months.
Sweetheart, the apple of Martin Brands' eye, is told by a fortune teller that emerald is her birth-stone. He advises her to wear the diamond. In part 1 of 'A True Story' Martin comes face to face with a 'literally shine-to-run' ring with a large square emerald. If that ends well.
I am planning to go to Thailand with my daughter next year together with my parents. My daughter is half Thai and her mother is no longer in NL. In 2012 we visited Thailand for the last time and my daughter has been there for almost 2 months. This was possible because she entered on her (now expired) Thai passport.
About 4 years ago I met Noi for the first time. She was the new manager of the laundry and ironing shop in the condo building where I live. My wife and I were happy with that. Not because of the washing. We are still able to put the laundry in the machine and hang it up ourselves. But ironing is sometimes too much work, also because we both work full time and have no domestic help.
Printers… those bitches turn out to be much more expensive here than in the Netherlands. And having a print made at the copy shop costs almost nothing. We had therefore not yet purchased a printer, but when we received a USB stick from the copy shop with a virus on it, we thought it was time for our own printer. It also makes it easier for us to print a photo for someone every now and then. We take a lot of pictures, also of people from the neighbourhood, and a printout of them as a thank you is very much appreciated.

You will soon be going on holiday to Thailand for three weeks. Delicious! Now is also the time to think about how you will leave your home in the Netherlands or Belgium. The thieves guild does not have a holiday. Every day, 175 households are broken into. During the holiday season, traditionally the hunting season for burglars, this increases by a fifth.
Slowly but surely, the strings in Pattaya are being pulled by a number of measures taken by the local government. Due to various reasons, the number of bars and go go clubs has been declining for some time. However, for an indefinite period no more permits will be issued to open a new club.
Thai society has very strict rules regarding everyone's position in a rigid hierarchical structure and that certainly also applies in the business world.
Here is a sketch of the situation: my wife and I have a piece of land in Thailand that is in my wife's name. We have been married for 4 years and both live and work in the Netherlands. When we bought the land, 2 doors next to our brother-in-law and my wife's sister, the idea was that we would live there after my retirement. We left it up to you how we would proceed with this. In any case, we would keep our rented house in the Netherlands.
This tourist video shows once again why Thailand is such a popular holiday destination.
Does anyone have any experience of getting a Thai driving license in Nongbualamphu? I know that the rules in Thailand can vary quite a bit per region. I got my motorcycle license in Phuket and the surprise was that I had to do a practical test, only my problem was that I didn't have a moped yet. So now I would like to get my driver's license before I buy a car, but if I also have to do a practical test again, I have a problem because I don't have a car available.
