  1. I just hope you are getting better by the day. A long tough road. I know it has been draining but please don't give up.

    Good on you to have taken some time out. Look after yourself and let us know what you can when you can.

    When you feel strong enough, get back onto it. You will never regret trying.

    Aggree wholeheartedly rhodie.

  2. After our day trip with VF last year and not being able to walk to the lookout on top of Phu Chi Fa, due to my 120+ kg weight, I was motivated to lose some weight.

    Have gone from 122 kgs down to 91 kgs at the moment, heading to 85kgs, so I feel that is a very good news and all being motivated by the desire to see the views from

    the lookout on top of Phu Chi Fa.

    I hope you pick a day without too much wind....at that weight you will get blown away.

    Won't go into any detail Harrry but could ask my wife to stop me from being blown away.

  3. What's with all the hatin', stalkin' and personal vendetta-ing?

    Not taking sides here, just intriqued.

    My guess is same bunch of old drunks who are basically stuck in unhappy lives.

    If you have been around awhile you know VF is one of the truly helpful guys on the forum.

    Although having lived here for decades he is not jaded & has many times given helpful advice or warm

    greetings to newcomers myself included years ago

    He even got a ton of flack back when he was posting beautiful photos of Chiang Rai.

    Odd group his detractors facepalm.gif

    Yet for what ever dysfunctional reason these types have....you note he does not feed their trolling.

    Most of them were banned at one time or another & repeatedly reincarnate

    as new users to throw more stones. Some have probably created new user accounts just for this thread as they lack the cojones to

    say such with their usual forum names.

    Sad to watch but one must accept there are such inhabitants here

    Best to ignore them coffee1.gif

  4. Thai friends can be absolutely amazing and incredibly generous. Last night we stayed at 137 Pillars House in Chiang Mai, a surprise gift from a dear friend to celebrate my 60th birthday. She flew up from Bangkok today to spend the rest of the weekend with us. I'm a very lucky guy and I have great Thai friends. That is a very good thing.

    Sent from my iPhone.

    Very good news.

    Great way to celebrate your 60th. May there be many more to celebrate with special surprises.

  5. Would love to join you VF but...but Sydney, Australia is a little too far from Chiang Rai.

    We are getting some of your smoke conditions here as the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney,

    have been on fire for the last week. Sitting down in Starbucks, having a coffee and chat would be much more enjoyable.

    O well, next year.

  6. Mick and Paddy had promised their Uncle Seamus, who had been a seafaring gent all his life,

    to bury him at sea when he died.


    Of course, in due time, he did pass away and the boys kept their promise.

    They set off with Uncle Seamus all stitched up in a burial bag and loaded onto their rowboat.

    After a while Mick says, 'Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out, Paddy?'

    Without a word Paddy slips over the side only to find himself standing in water up to his knees.

    'Dis'll never do, Mick. Let's row some more.'

    After a bit more rowing Paddy slips over the side again but the water is only up to his belly, so they row on.

    Again Mick asks Paddy, 'Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out Paddy?'

    Once again Paddy slips over the side and almost immediately says, 'No dis'll neva do.' The water was only up to his chest.

    So on they row and row and row and finally Paddy slips over the side and disappears.

    Quite a bit of time goes by and poor Mick is really getting himself into a state when suddenly Paddy breaks the surface gasping for breath.



    'Well is it deep enuff yet, Paddy?'


    'Aye 'tis,


    NOW hand me dat shovel.'

  7. An old man, Mr.. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.

    One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.

    Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong.

    'Yes, Nurse Tracy ,' said Mr. Wallace.

    'My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.'

    Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a little crazy,

    she replied, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences.'

    The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private

    Part hanging out of his pyjamas.

    He met Nurse Tracy. 'Mr. Wallace,' she said, 'You shouldn't be walking down

    the hall like that. Please put your Private Part back inside your pyjamas.'

    'But, Nurse Tracy I can't,' replied Mr. Wallace. 'I told you yesterday that my

    Private Part died.'

    'Yes,' said Nurse Tracy , 'you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pyjamas?'

    'Well,' he replied, 'Today is the viewing.'
