Glad to hear that your slowly settling in to your new condo. Hats off to your generous subscriber and to your HR manager for taking care of the soi dogs.

Happy you're doing well and that you are aware of the virus and all it can do and super happy to hear that some of the Soy dogs are getting neutered.

Hi there, I've got an update from The Nation. Selling of all alcoholic drinks will be prohibited 24-hourly in Bangkok, from April 10th to April 20th. (You won't be able to buy alcoholic drinks for 10 days in Bangkok). So if you drink beers and stuff, stock up now!

[@OurLifeThai]

The lines at Makro after work today were very long. haha

[@ankicat3425]

It would be cool to rent somewhere, like a holiday place and being able to go, my sister in law lives in NZ, so that would be a bit closer than travelling from the UK

[@OurLifeThai]

👍👌😁🙏

[@JG-gg9wk]

Good seeing you both and looking so happy. How are things in the city, are their many cases of coronavirius. Your not under lockdown, except for night curfews? Is their a problem with food shortages or anything like that? Stay safe, wishing you both the best.

[@OurLifeThai]

We don't have any problems getting food. There was a short period when people were panic buying eggs, but that seems to have passed. It looks like every Province has a different set of regulations. The main restriction in Bangkok is the curfew.

Hello Brad hope you and misses stay healthy, I’m wondering moving to a condo and paying rent,instead of your original home, maybe saving traveling time,bus,and train fee might be reason ,cheers 👍

[@OurLifeThai]

2 reasons - to save time & essentially stop driving in Thailand. I really don't like the driving style of many of my fellow road users.

[@markwright7848]

Very sweet

[@mariobee9875]

Hi Brad Hope all is well. Just a quick question. Not sure if you speak Thai. If not how do you go with work? Thanks again and stay safe 👍

[@OurLifeThai]

Hello I speak very little Thai. The people in my department speak OK English and I'm teaching English to a big percentage of the office staff. 👍😁🙏

[@budmartin3344]

Glad to see you are all OK. So did you sell the house and move to the new place?

[@OurLifeThai]

No, we still have the townhouse in the village. The plan is to stay there at least 1 weekend a month. We're only renting the condo.

[@richiesd1]

Can you rent out the house? Just wondering if there is a market to let in the village.

[@OurLifeThai]

We could easily find tenants for the townhouse, but it's not something that we want to do. We're not really city people and so we'll be looking forward to getting back to the village to stay as many weekends as we can. 👍😁🙏
