words from the heart Hello out there. This is a strange experience - blogging. Normally I am a private person. My conversations are usually very guarded unless I know the person very well. And here I am now setting down a road where I will, more than likely, have to be honest beyond what I am used to. I am just returned one week from a family holiday in Thailand. When there, I attended my Dentist in Pattya 8 times to have a significant amount of dental work done. I will visit my dentist again next November to complete that work. I had an operation earlier this year which caused damage to many of my crowns. That was the reason this time - to correct all of that damage. This was my 20th time to return to Thailand. I met my friend who manages one of the bigger 4 star hotels in Pattaya and my swiss friend who manages the fundraising events I have been running into Northern Thailand since 1997. I have really fallen in love with Thailand - the people, the food and the climate. The people are honest. Despite what my profile might indicate, I have not taken a "thai wife". Why? Because I have much respect for Thai women and don't want to set them up as sex objects or as people to have for brief moments and to leave for most of their and my life. Don't know if you can understand this given the normality of older men and younger Thai women building and maintaining some form of happy relationships. I am back at work. Very busy. I enjoyed my holiday and it mattered much to me. This time we actually contemplated buying in the near future a house or condominium to retire to. Not that I have to retire but why should one go on working when you get a feeling that there might be a beautiful place and nice people with whom to spend one's closing years. When I had my illness in January, I thought that if I died I would like my ashes cast of the back beach at the Asia Pattay hotel. I didn't die and I am very well. and I love my discovery of Thailand. |
