If you know any ex-pats who live in Thailand, you might sometimes hear them referring to themselves strangely as ‘mushrooms’…
My wife and her friend worked in the Thai-Lanna Restaurant in Los Bolices, Fuengirola, southern Spain. Their boss ripped them off! AVOID
There are new Thai Catering Services available in Fuengirola! Neem is a professional Thai chef with decades of experience. Book her now!
Obtaining a Spanish residence permit was quite easy looking back on it. Especially when compared to the UK! Frustrating at the time though
Thai Catering Services in Fuengirola The lady behind Fuengirola Home Help Services, Pranom Jones, better known as Neem, today launched a new service to add to her already impressive array – home Thai catering services in Fuengirola and Los Boliches. “Thai food is widely acknowledged to be one of the best cuisines in the world,”
We lived in Fuengirola for a couple of years, and I have been going there for several decades. Fuengirola is one of my favourite places
Our Last Night in Thailand was a strange affair. I was convinced that I would never see my lovely Thai in-laws again, but…
Thai W.C.’s have come on in leaps and bounds since I first arrived in the village in 2004. I haven’t seen a squat toilet for many years
I can’t profess to be an expert on Thai television. I don’t speak Thai well enough to understand it, but it looks as bad as our daytime TV
Thai Smile I saw something this evening that, I think, says a lot about the Thai smile, but perhaps first, I had better say something about the Thai smile itself. Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles, in the same way that Wales is famous as the Land of Song. Most visitors assume that
Many Deaths This has been a strange year so far, but I know that it has many more stressful moments in for me and my wife. That is because we have chosen to return to Europe for a few years and apart from Neem’s visa, we have no friends there any longer and nowhere to
Happy New Year This is the last day of Christmas, so the trimmings will be coming down all over the Western World this evening. Along with the rain and the snow, so I have heard. Here in Thailand, it is a sunny, but cool evening of 31c and very nice it is too in the
Books and Newspapers I am not going to claim that this idea is revolutionary or even new, but it occurred to me yesterday that the main difference between books and newspapers is fact and ideas. A friend was telling me that he gave up reading books years ago and only reads free online publications these
August, My Favourite Month. I don’t have any specific subject to talk about today, so this piece will be a ramble, as I sit in my favourite local shop enjoying a beer. August has always been my favourite month – my birthday and school holidays probably started that off. In fact, when my mother was
Pronunciation I have formally studied six languages to fluency, taught myself another and am now learning Thai and Thai is hard enough for me! I perfectly understand how difficult pronunciation must be for most other students of it. However, I hear it every day, which should make it easier – trying to learn Thai and
Thai – A Succinct Language I have been living in Thailand for eleven years, and learning the Thai language organically from day one with the help of a ‘Teach Yourself’ book and a wife. However, I am still not there yet, which makes Thai the hardest to learn of the eight languages I have studied.
Our Family Gathering Our family gathering is not in my mother-in-law’s this year, but in her sister-in-law’s next door but one. In Thai villagers, or at least in the ones around here, families tend to occupy an area or even a street sometimes, so all our lot live within a hundred yards of each other.
Today’s Thailand This is going to be a collection of random observations about today’s Thailand, because not enough has been happening in my life in the last twenty-four hours to fill even a short post such as this series, which you will find listed under the category ‘Diary’ on this blog, should you wish to
