Ah Mitzi......when you meet her make sure she is an expert masseur.. and a wonderful cook as well. Having been there twice after it having been on my list of places I had no interest in visiting, I love the place. Where are you going to try and base yourself ?? North, South on an island ,or somewhere on the mainland??
Good luck..

Hi poollounger . I to love it but it could be a different thing visiting and living there. I have a couple of good friends there who I am sure will look after me. One lives in Koh Samui and the other lives with the most gentle beautifull woman you could wish to meet and is all the things you say and more. If I am blessed to meet somebody like her then I will truly have everything a man wants.. So that is where I will probable end up.

Re: "Time to say goodbye"

Hello Mitzipurr

I wrote my first reply hours ago and then the darn PC crashed so I am trying again.

Thailand, well that's different from Costa de la Luz!

I wish you every happiness and joy and I sincerely pray you find peace in both your heart and mind.

As Derbyflan said, might be the biggest favour she ever did you. Just don't rush into something that you may later regret...................

my best wishes go to you, regards crispy:wub:

Koh Samui.....I stayed in the Laem Set Inn... a little piece of paradise far from the main tourist areas. Run by a Brit and his Thai wife. We stayed in one of the 'Shacks' on the beach, but as it was quiet they offered us a proper room further up.. we opted to stay where we were and play at being Gauguin. Their sunset bar at the top reminded me of the French planters house in the film of South Pacific.. Koh Panang is another beautiful island.
You may miss European culture, but the island life will compensate. Of course the 'holiday attraction' of any place diminishes when it becomes your permanent home, but for a while at least it will feel very special. Bon Voyage.

Re: "Time to say goodbye"

If you are able let us know how your new life pans out, starting again can be very painful but often opens new doors that you would never have discovered otherwise. I am sure that I would not be living in Spain if my life had not been turned upside down by a previous partner.

Good luck these difficult times will ease and life will once more be good, especially in such a wonderful place.

I will shortly be recieving a large cheque for my share from the sale of the house in euros. Does anybody know the best way to transfer it to the uk to be deposited into a sterling account. The cheque will have to firstly be deposited into the Banco Sabedell Atlantico into a Cuenta Mas account. If anybody can help it would be much appreciated. You can PM me if you wish.

Finally I would like to thank everybody in the past for all their help and assistance and have very much enjoyed being a part of this vast cyberspace communuity.:thumbsup:

Adios

Hi Mitzi,

Banco Sabadell is Solbank or Solbank is part of the Sabadell group, if I'm not mistaken. They have branches in the UK, or at least one in London. Ask the bank manager how you can open an acct in the UK and get the money transferred across. The transfer should not have a cost attached to it, but the conversion â‚¬ to Â£ might. Ask at Halifax as well so that you can compare.

Best of luck in whatever you do and please do try and keep in touch. I'm sure they have internet connections in Thailand too ;)
