A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[rotikosong]

Tomorrow will fly back in 1pm flight and arrive Bangkok about 11pm (Monday)

I think that flight will connect in ICN for around 50-55 minutes (perfectly doable). Walk fast hor.

For me long jia hong at least twice a year (long = 2 weeks), short jia hong many times (short = 3-7 days)

Your short jia hong is my long jia hong

Morning guys,

A sunny morning in Sin City. Hot day today and best time to do laundry. Yes, I do my own laundry. Like the smell of the clothes which is dried from the hot sun.

Oh since you havent done full medical test for so many years, maybe good to do one before starting any exercise regimen, that was what i read somewhere before that a doctor recommended, especially when your BP is above norm...Anyway, Thailand Medical check up should be much cheaper than SG...

Hehehe. Think I don't have the guts to do a full checkup. As for exercise, think will start to do some swimming at least 2 times a week. Sad to say, LOS medical can both be expensive and cheap. If on social security scheme (all legal employees regardless of nationalities), can get very low cost medical care at appointed hospital. As for myself, I have my own personal medical insurance and opt for private hospital. Anyway, I hope don't have to use it at all.

As for exercise, think will start to do some swimming at least 2 times a week.

Your swimming pool, as I remember, looks more like a wading pool. There is neither length nor breadth for you to exercise except for dipping into the water to beat the Summer heat.

You should sell your scooter and get a bicycle instead. This will ensure that you get your regular dose of exercise everyday

Bro Joety, is this the new Lexus RX270 you're talking about ? I just watched the ads on TV; it's going for NT$1.93 million. Looks like Lexus in ROC is half-priced leh compared to Thailand.

Think just swim for 15 mins each session should be ok but now wound still not completely dry so cannot swim.

KYP poot len lor? If go WS how? Cycle to WS from where I am staying now will probably take 1 hour and don't forget have to cycle back. Seriously, no car still ok but no scooter really cannot survive.

Guess what? A colleague of mine is staying in the same apartment and he walks to work everyday. Hehehe. A little pai seh.

Yes this is the one I was talking about. Make no mistake this is not new model just face lift and those mad Lexus sellers up price from 3.8mil to 4.5mil. Don't make sense at all.

 

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

VW in ROC, I believe, is much cheaper than Thailand. The new Passat Sedan, not the Passat CC which mirrors the Merc CLS design, is going for NT$1.09 million. The beauty of ROC is, anything that does not have a barcode attached to the product, you can always bargain.

Bro Joe, what do you think of the above Passat in terms of "presence" ?

Your makan stalls all located in WS meh ? Any makan stalls located within 2 km radius you should ride a bicycle. Don't have to worry about parking problems too !

I always think Passat is a handsome car but not the sissy CC. Hey I was actually quite excited about the coming Sylphy in Thailand.

The CC sissy meh ? It's also a Passat:

As for Sylphy, I just don't think you would be driving one, since you always go for the big engine cars. So what's there to get excited when you won't be driving one ?

 

[Froggy]

Don't know why but never like the CC design. Like the Passat and Phaeton though.

As for Sylphy, I just don't think you would be driving one, since you always go for the big engine cars. So what's there to get excited when you won't be driving one ?

Excited with the Sylphy because its time to have a good car in this category and give Altis a run for the money.

These 2 weeks driving around in States inspired me to get a touring motorbike in Thailand.

Bicycle not for me. Think before I reach destination, already give up and call motorcycle taxi liaoz.

Motorcycle very convenient for me here. Think problem is myself. Started riding very slow and steady but now ride very fast because gain confidence over time.

OK, this one don't know call late lunch or early dinner. Was at this joint at 6 pm cos' too hungry liaoz. Long time no eat Jim Joom and Pla Pao (traditional steamboat and BBQ fish) and also order some fresh oysters to go with beer. I am the first customer and place is usually full house by 9pm. I know the manager personally so die die will be able to get a table regardless of what time I arrive. Live band playing look toong start at 9pm.

Guess what? Found this while moving house 2 weeks ago. This one very special cos' with me for at least 20 years liaoz. One of the items I carry when I runroad. Never know when you will feel boring while on the run. Doubt many know how to play this game.

See ? I was spot on the last time. I knew you were him:

 

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

I think that guy just wants a massage he isn't going to fuck his masseuse, those offer special tend to be lousy in massage.

Bro, you don't have to have the intention to fuck the masseuse. If you're going to have a massage anyway, I'm sure you would prefer the masseuse to look like the one in my pic rather than your video.

 

[Froggy]

See ? I was spot on the last time. I knew you were him:

Pii KYP! Where did you get this photo of Pii Chon? Yes this is him. You lucky fella, I only have his photo of his back. His bodyguards never allow me to take his pic from the front.
