Yep, landed me a job in Thailand :dance:

Leaving in a coupla weeks. Already cleared my schedule and tell everyone I'm booked into January.

Looks like a bathroom & tiling some walks and patio area.
NOT really a paying job, mind you, but I do get free room&board, transportaion, and a private plane for sightseeing :tup2:
Oh, and I am takin a helper, too. My wife can cut tile & grout :corn:

So Christmas this year will be the adventure of a lifetime.
You guys hold down the fort, eh? :wave:

Been there twice and loved it. First time was in 1970 while in the service and bascially did partying and ho'ing; Second time was in the 80's with wife and did sightseeing.

Try to get to Cambodia and see Ankor Wat which is a World Heritage site. It is unbelievable:

I was there in the late sixties. Has it changed any? :D

Jerry the Tile Guy (JTG) goes over for dental work. Last time he stayed over and his Patti joined him for a week. I think they had fun. ;)

Lord yes if you need dental work done look to getting it done there it is very reasonable and the quality of work is high. PM me and I can give you the name of the place I go to in Bangkok. Also one of the best hospitals in the world is in Bangkok and you can get a complete physical way cheaper than in the states.
One of the things my wife and I enjoyed the most was getting massage side my side at the same time every day. Strip down and get on the mat and let the lovely ladies work you over. :dance:
Have a great time.

I'm with you Kate. Where are the 'lovely guys?' Probably kept in the same place as the Hooter's Boys.

The massage thingey is out of the question...taboo, according to my helper. :(

Who knows, maybe the 'attitude' will change once we are there ! ;)

Maybe you need to explain to your helper that Jerry AND his wife had massages together. Surely she can't object if she's there also. A person who doesn't want a massage is a person who has never had one.

I can tell that there are some minds that are in the gutter. :stick:

I am talking about a massage that is a massage. Not disguised as something else. :suspect:

and ladies rest assured the male massuse (slp) are available.

The Thai take great pride in massage. There are parlors everywhere and all types of folks are in there. A foot massage is very popular. You can go in plop yourself down. Order of a drink of your liking take a short nap and get a massage and add a manacure for less than $5.00.

The most fameous massage school is on Royal grounds and is specialized in training folks who are blind.

Picture is a spa in Bangkok.
