To those of you living in LOS, is there anything you miss from your country of origin? Food, weather, local pub, sporting event?

Kebab shops Late night punch ups. p**sing rain getting in the holes of my shoes. Thirty quid taxi rides. CRB checks. Library book reminders. Parking wardens. Miserable people in general.

I miss the kids, MIL and SIL when in Blighty, but <duck> all else about LOS.
Spending time in Thailand reminds me how lucky I was to be born in the UK. Sorry, but that's reality.

I miss being able to accomplish more than one task in a day...other than that, everything material I want and need is in bkk: that's why I'm here and not my country of birth...

Diverted the river too so as not to pollute it when we come to reconstruct the main river channel.

I was thinking more like this have you looked beneath the surface? If I looked beneath the surface of most things I'd have a shock. Rivers, Women, Thailand etc. I just like the peace and quiet of sitting by a river away from crowds.
