Remembering last November Remembering November: Last November (2006) I got back again to my beloved Thailand. I visited with a cycling group and we went up north to Chiang Rai, Chiang Saen and Chiang Mai. This is one of many times up north and it was, again enjoyable. I celebrated my birthday at a small restaurant on the banks of the Mae Kong on November 17th up in Chiang Saen - it is a very quiet location. I don't know if I would put it into one of my favourite places. Chiang Rai, I am coming to like more and more over the years of many visits. It is a growing city. and, of course, Chiang Mai is my favourite place up north. I looked again at house designs and thought "how nice to retire here". It is a lovely place and I spoke with some very nice sincere people here. I went on to Pattaya with the group for a couple of days. I usually attend the international hospital here for dental work and I did the same on this visit. The weather was beautiful and Pattaya was as wild and care free as ever. On then to Bangkok and home. This time I felt that there were some changes in my feelings about Thailand. The Coup was no problem - it was a gentle presence. No, I felt slightly disappointed in something. Maybe I am getting older and maybe the girls see me as just another "dirty old man" - I hope I am not a DOM because I would hate to feel that I was exploiting the sincerity of beautiful people with unwelcome affection. I felt that maybe I don't understand how to "take care" of somebody means for many girls regular monthly payments. This I discovered through other guys on the group. Nobody asked me for payments as I didn't establish any relationships on this visit. I am home now over a month and it is only now that I am writing into this blog my feelings of that visit. I still love you Thailand and a cold December day in Ireland just after Christmas confirms me in my love for you. |

I love Thailand too, fm pointview of a Chinese and a woman. I went there for a whole month in September. Will go back every year to Thailand, Burma and Laos. Actually my good friend has decided to base around there as he view the countries as plances for ideal living and enjoyment, naturally and mentally. You dont need to feel how other ppl perceive you. Just enjoy its beauty and simplicity. I also saw many old westerners and young Thai girls stick together, as companions. I guess aside from the patronizing relationship, they give me kind-of feeling as companions, accompanying each other for some years in order to survive better. Still, there are many strong Thai women, poor but independent, living their own life siglehandedly.

Yeah, very enjoyable and a feast of eyes and minds for cycling in Thailand - on bicycle or motorcycle. Will go to Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai soon.
