What is the Good Life?

I'm being headhunted for a big job in London, but prefer to sit in the sun and play dominoes whilst drinking Singha beer and eating Somtam.

What would you do?

Hmm, but the qustion seems to be, do you follow your heart or your head....

A good life is your happy wherever you are or whom your with

well according to the wonderfull london weather...

hmmmmmmmmm won t hesitate

;-)

I'd take the money. London is not so bad as long as you get get away every now and then.

Is it not the girls that you'd be missing?

that too of course

pretty rare in europe to have such panel

London is a desert for pretty ladies....

I am minded to take the money for a while, and then come back. But hey, don't even know if I'll get the job. But it's a big question for many people here.

I can eat somtom in London but I know somtom in Thailand is the best but money comes first! different thought I think ... choose the best one and go for it

I read a story about a very successful financialist man who finally could take a break for vacation. He chose to go to a small town for fishing.

When he got there he met a very good fisherman. He could fish very very huge fish and many many of them. But he chose to fish only just few fishs and go home.

Finance man asked fisherman 'Why don't you fish more and you could make alot more money? I can even set up a company for you, you could move to New York with me and we can sell fish and then you will be rich. We could have our company in stock market too ya know'

The fisherman said ' Then what?'

Finance man said 'Then you could take vacation and come here fishing again'

Cheers.

Exactly....

for me ,a happy life is being myself, have a good job, a good lover n a nice family, be happy n healthy...

Go to London, do the interview, and once you realize that you won't really be happy there, get on the next plane back to TLOS.

Maybe look for a better Job in Bangkok if your not happy with what ya got. Desert for ladies sounds dreadful..........

I understand pretty thai girls tend to cloud your judgment from time to time (can't help it). But if i were you, I would give it a try (the job in London). If you don't like it or get bored of it, Thailand is always there for you to go back.

The Good Life is a tune by Weezer

2 years ago I got some job offers at universities in Thailand. I was looking to move there as I was engaged at the time (believe it or not . Her job was much better than mine, and mine is more mobile, so, off to Thailand for me. But we broke up and I had the decision to make: make the move to Thailand, one of my favourite countries on the planet, and earn peanuts, or stay in Japan and keep the job I have now. I chose to stay here. Work here and be bored for 8 months, and enjoy life to the fullest when I'm in Thailand and abroad. But if I could live in Thailand on the big bucks, I'd move in a heartbeat!

But that's assuming that you don't already have a kick-ass job in Thailand. At 40 (my age), if you're living abroad, you probably won't have a decent pension in your home country, so you need to think of how to get money, buy property, and save enough so that you're not eating dog food after you retire. Japan allows me to do that, AND I can afford to travel and enjoy Thailand as a holiday place. So it's really about how secure your present job and future conditions are.

Somebody offered me a chance to live and work in London I'd be gone so fast you wouldn't see me move.

London Sucks Mate...Can we swap? Stay where you are...

Princess> wanna come stay with me...lol

I would accpet a job in London, if I get good salary so I can fly over to Thailand few times a year..

I work in New York and fly back to Thailand twice a year. It seems like the most balanced decision.. for now.
