Never any problem for me, Bill! I take most things in life, including myself, with a smile and a grain of salt. As far as me and Thailand...all I can say is that after visiting 2 or 3 times every year since 1987, it seemed as if it should be my permanent home when I retired. So, in 2008, I moved here. The weather is always warm, even when it rains, the hospitality of the people is fantastic, I can afford living here and it just suits me to a "T"! Over here i can enjoy my retirement, but if I had to go back to the States, I would need to start another business and that is not something I desire to do.
@Richard Paradon, what is the average temperature there? If it never got over 80* I could picture me there, but it does sound as if the humidity could put a halt to that. But I do love your stories and pictures, they let one dream. I have this image of you swinging in a hammock, with a tall cup of coffee or juice in hand. I'm sure you do more, but I like my picture. I hope you have family there.
Hi Ina! The weather is always warm but humid. https://www.google.co.th/search?q=w...57.3583j0j8&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 Funny about the hammock...that is my favorite place to hang out when I am up in the jungle.
