Thai Life Update: The Beach Condo and a Second Restaurant

I've been remiss, time to get back to it.

It wasn't laziness, just a series of things that consumed my attention and focus. Plus, in some measure I'm just on-hold, waiting to see if the November election results just might constitute a cure or vaccine for the current global stupidity and insanity (the only and real virus in play).

  1. Took the family to the beach for a 4-day holiday. In total, it was 11 of us in two cars, to Jomtien Beach, Pattaya, and back. 500 Km each way.
  2. Made plans and executed to locate with my motorcycle and rent a condo there at Jomtien as a 2nd home—to split my time for work and focus and a place to bring the kids during vacations.
  3. We did a weekend over on Koh Larn, 30 minutes and 30 baht ($1) by ferry.
  4. Got my Thai drivers licenses.
  5. Returned home to the village and started a second restaurant after the first has done so well in its first six weeks.

Let's do some photos to mostly show and less tell, the story. Each one can be clicked to open a larger, higher-resolution version.

I started writing Free The Animal in late 2003 as just a little thing to try. 20 years later, turns out I've written over 5,000 posts. I blog what I wish...from diet, health, lifestyle...to philosophy, politics, social antagonism, adventure travel, expat living, location and time independent—while you sleep— income by geoarbitrage, and food pics. I intended to travel the world "homeless," but the Covidiocy Panicdemic squashed that. I became an American expat living in Thailand. I celebrate the audacity and hubris to live by your own exclusive authority and take your own chances. ... I leave the toilet seat up. Read More
