Enough of your pontificating persiflage. Quit speaking English through your nose, and you will be able to understand. Your disrespect of Chiang Mai is something I will not up with put. Be aware Bangkok to me is an inconvenient and insalubrious way station on my six-monthly peregrinations to and from Australia. I'm struggling to think of another city that puts the international and domestic airports at least 90 minutes away from each other, depending on how many traffic jams there are. Yes, I did notice the location of many of your posts. I suppose anything is preferable to the numbing boredom of looking out the window of a train or bus in Bangkok. Please tell me how you will obtain a big enough oxygen tank on your scuba gear to swim from Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew108 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Most people aren't happy because they are habituated to see happiness as only coming from outside to in. Obviously when we consume things we have moments of happiness - but in truth natural or innate happiness is required before we can find satisfaction from objects. Without a natural level of happiness objects need to be ever more stimulating to cause us to feel happy. When we have natural happiness even simple objects like a piece of fruit can make us feel happy. Then in the absence of this inner happiness we get addicted to anger and negativity because we able to find some physical pleasure in having a strong emotional response to something. Inner happiness comes from recognizing our inherent value. Many people feel empty inside because they haven't understood the great fortune that is life itself. Once you appreciate being 'on' instead of 'off' you can start to build on that feeling and appreciate even the simple things in life - then you are happy wherever you are.

The glass of life, half of this or a half of that! "To be or not to be"! "Get busy livin or get busy dyin"! Everyday is a good day! Some happy some not as much! I worked and invested all my life to not have to retire and die poor! I have more then some and less than other's. In many ways for me happy is comfort! I feel very comfortable in my Thai environment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Is that British guy still there? The white haired toothless one? With the mole on his nose who wears a Leeds T-Shirt and starts drinking at 10am so by noon he's mumbling over and over that Jimmy Saville was framed? That guy? Id rather have a Prik Nam Pla enema than see that every day. Leave Jimmy and me out of this !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puchaiyank Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 One can be either miserable or happy anywhere. I choose to be happy...keeping a positive outlook on life here in Thailand. Now when I am scammed out of a few baht...rather than rant and rave...I smile to myself...secure in the knowledge that I will not miss a few baht... I did find it amusing when I would challenge a cashier who had short changed me...their look was not one of apology...but one of dismay that I had the audacity to count my change.... ????

Yes, the fun is not in getting your two Baht back from the cheaters, its making them lose face when you call them out and then hold your palm facing away from you and walk away.
