    I love travel, I hate sitting on a plane. Just did Copenhagen to Orlando, that was long enough for me. Asia is even farther. I will say the cool cloudy skies of Europe was a relief after hot humid Florida. We went on a cruise of Denmark, England and Ireland. We had high 60’s most days. We consider it a nice break from Florida. I wouldn’t want to live in England, but warm, humid weather can get monotonous.

    Les,
    Over the last 12 years since you left you must have noticed how much the climate has changed?
    It must be the warmest you have ever experienced since the year dot, according to the Met office in the UK you can fry an egg on your car roof🤣.
    Any normal person from the UK would be wearing a singlet and shorts with a knotted hankie on their head😂.
    12 years in Thailand has turned you into a nancyboy, these red hot summers (20c) and ultra mild winters (-2c) are what dreams are made of and you gave all that up for an average 30c throughout the year.
    You must be off your boiler, imagine going to the beach without a snowsuit in the height of summer and winters where you have to de-ice the windows in the house.
    Why would any sane person want to live in Thailand, utter madness😂🤣
