Some days an Englishman went to the immigration office in Nakhon Ratchasima because he came back from England later and his retirement had expired. He wanted another one. They said tomorrow your landlord must report here. Landlord had to fill in a TM 30 form and there was another Englishman who also just came back from England. Who also rented from him. And he also had to fill out a TM form.
Yesterday I ended up in a restaurant in Pattaya Avenue, opposite Soi 13. It is nicely centrally located, well 'in the loop' and the front facade consists entirely of glass, which benefits the approachability. That has been thought about.
The spirit, which resides in your body, does it exist or not? Someone posted a video on YouTube showing a fatal accident in which a motorcyclist is killed. The moment the driver and other occupants of the involved car walk towards the victim, you see the soul leave the body. You can see it for yourself in the video.
As announced earlier this week by ambassador Karel Hartogh himself, he will visit Bangkok in the week of June 12, together with his wife Maddy Smeets.

Despite the junta's 'colored' figures on the economy, according to an expert, Thailand is heading for a real estate bubble. This is because domestic private investment is too low. Most of them are concentrated in the real estate sector, which could eventually cause the bubble, said former World Trade Organization director-general Supachai Panitchpakdi.
I have cut quite a lot of floor tiles with a grinder, the dust of which came with force against my lower legs. I also worked quite a lot with cement, which was not immediately washed off my legs. Since two months I have a nasty and itchy rash. I can hardly keep my hands off it, but I don't scratch.
The Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr building in Prachin Buri is a building to admire. Not only that, it is also a museum with a mission: to promote traditional Thai herbal medicine.

My girlfriend from Laos has been here for a few days. She likes to watch Thai channels (maybe easier to get used to?). Is there a way to watch it without a satellite dish?
At the beginning of April, I called for feedback for an update of the Schengen visa file. There have been several reactions to this on the blog and via e-mail. Thanks for that!

Comment below or email the editors via the contact form here on the site.
Today I'm going to the waterfall, that suits me better than all that swimming in the sea. It is also nice and cool. I feel like half an hour of climbing burns a million calories and I become more flexible and stronger.
In Laos, groups of Chinese entrepreneurs are busy drilling hundreds of tunnels and building bridges to connect the other Asian countries. However, a nasty detail! Laos does not have the money to finance this 420-kilometer route, so China "borrows" it. If the repayment is not made, Beijing will step in to finance the first loan. The Lao collateral consists of agricultural land and mining concessions. Thus, Laos economically exports itself to China.
