Although I'm a lot closer to my own country (Singapore), I've been away for 24 years (meaning lived full-time in Thailand) with only a sporadic visit once every year or so. Looking at how the place has changed (Or is it me?) I can't (won't) go back as I'll fit in like a square peg in a round hole. I'm with Terry, Takiap and Mr. Plum among others who seem to have found that where we're at now is the place in the sun. I'm not leaving, either. For all it's idiosynacracies, this is home.

My daughters went for a scrapyard piece

RICHARD OF LOXLEY

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

So it was you putting your paws all over my motor! You should have let me know you'd be in my neck of the woods (when not in my Country pile)! :cheers:

I think the real owner asked Richard to pose. Never seen an ageing backpacker before.
