Yesterday I was at immigration getting a re-entry permit for Thailand. Very simple procedure by the way only cost 1000 baht for a single. So I’m there and this older gentleman started making conversation typical Australian. Anyway, so he asks me what I’m doing here, I made a complicated response easy by telling him I’m here to study Thai. So why Thai he asks and my standard reply “For the chicks man!”. lol. “Well” he says with his know it all attitude. “Let me tell you a thing or two” he goes on to tell me how he’s lived here for 30 years and that I’ll need a tonne of money if I’m going to have a Thai girlfriend or date Thai girls.
