It ain't all that bad in UK, I reckon the most happiest of the guys I met in Udon were those doing regular short vacations, esp if you can afford to live well in UK, ie. good job/good pension.

I actually like the changing weather, adds a bit of variety to life and the clothes you wear. Nice if you can get 2 trips back per year, but one in the centre of winter should be just enough to break the manotany and keep the heating bills low.

A mate of mine comes here for his hols once a year, (from Thailand to UK). He can't afford the hotels or to rent a car and spends 1000's in a couple of weeks, at least when we travel the other way, these two main items are cheap and plentiful. Eating out and drinking is still cheaper in Thailand, but then who does that 7 days a week unless on holiday. My local night-club charges a tenner for me and the misses just to enter. Climax, D2, Yellow-bird they're all free and with a show on stage, great for a holiday but not all year round.

I think a few of the paupers I met on my last visit should sit up and take note, do it now before you run out of money and can't even afford a one-way-ticket out of there.

Good luck in your new venture

I'll let you in on a little secret. All the good jobs have gone or are on the way out.Secondly the pensions are slowly being eroded due to the lack of mis-managment of the UK banks/goverment. God knows what the script will say in 6months time let alone 12 months time. Enjoy your trips to Thailand while you've got money,it wont last as long as you think,unless you've got plenty.

''Well I've made the decision.
Having just paid the 199 baht( over 4 GBP's) for a can of shaving foam at Big C I have booked my plane back to the UK.''

You HAVE to return. Boots new? Hydro shaving gel only 99 baht. :-k

Author: **Ricky** » February 17, 2009, 9:13 pm

Well I was using Boots Hydro Gel, but recently discovered Gatsby Shaving Gel in a tube, which I find better and as cheap about 100 baht - £2.

Quick abort take off! :lol:

Hey, you must be talking about me. Yeah, I am pretty content at present, I enjoy the short trips to UTH. Don't know if I'd live in UTH permanently, probably split things up, live three months in UTH and then return to Blighty in the warmer months. I like 747's idea of working for a while and then banging out to Thailand. But each to their own, I'm not going to criticise any Senior that wants to live in UTH permanently. Crack on chaps.

Yeah, that's what old Westers does. The Blighty weather is OK, don't even mind being snowed in.

Hmmm, hear what you're saying Nick but it really isn't as bad as all that, or at least, I wouldn't expect to get into fisticuffs when I go out. We've always had incidents like this and I don't believe it's getting any worse in an extreme sense, although I believe violent crime is on the rise. It looks like it wasn't random either and the people that did this might have known this head teacher (doesn't condone what happened though). Just remember there are Farang walking around Udon these days that like a bit of fisticuffs after a few beers (and some Thais aswell, remember the Soi Nongbua incidents last year?).

Agree westers....and you don't hear of many people 'falling' or jumping from Balconys dressed in their under garments or being mugged off by a LB on the number 52 Bus.... :mrgreen:

How about this for a reason NOT to go back to the UK.

Nope, never been involved in a fight or a murder in a supermarket either, or seen them for that matter. You chaps need to relax a little bit - stop reading the Daily Mail, that might help. :lol:
