Had my bicycle stolen this morning here in Bangkok

[musicisgood]

I've been here in Thailand for going over 5 weeks now I was parked my bicycle next to the place I'm staying at went out this morning and the damn bike was missing so now I got to buy a bicycle today lol they told me there's a lot of thievery in Bangkok just don't trust no one anyway I'm up bumming around Bangkok here's some pictures. I'll be here for 3 months so I hope to get some cycling in I don't know about camping but working on some stuff I did get a residence certificate which is good might be able to get a car license or a motorcycle license while I'm here not to for sure yet but anyway I got arrested certificate tells me to do a few things more cuz I have a permanent address really I want yeah permanent address is longer than staying here so I'm pretty lucky at that don't have to have to stay in a hotel and report to immigration quite often so it's pretty good set up I got going for me.










Oh and by the way Bangkok is not cheap it's not expensive either but it's definitely not cheap.

well having your bike stolen sucks in any language! Sorry you're going through that.

I think you're using voice-to-text, because at one point you said you got a resident permit and in another place you said you were arrested

I've been to Thailand a few times but never been to Bangkok myself. It won't have the same city feel, but you may find things more affordable up north like Chiang Mai. I spent some time at a forest monastery way up north near Mae Hong Son, many years ago.

Yes I'm using that voice thing got some incorrect stuff going on but I think you understand it was a message. There's been so much flooding in Thailand I mean it's ridiculous even where I'm staying at it's like a foot and a half of water on the streets and the poor people's homes are at street level it's really screwed up man anyway I'm enjoying I guess I have to buy a new bike real soon.

might want to invest in some pool floats first! Keep above water as you can, the last thing you need is trench foot.

What did you get arrested for?

@musicisgood, do you still have residency in Japan? Will you stay in Bangkok or return to Yamaguchi?

 

[musicisgood]

I will maintain Japanese PR. But I will travel back and forth.

 

[musicisgood]

What did you get arrested for?

Mistake

 

[mdchachi]

Glad to hear you're not arrested. Sorry to hear about your bike. What is your goal? Just to live cheaply? Or to see the world a bit?

I wish you the best! Should we take it that the real estate company you asked about in the other thread turned out ok?

Very true but that's life you know they're a good people and they're bad people and they're people that don't steal and people that steal.

Actually I finally decided to live the life I want to live. We just got one take at it and at the age of 71 I must choose to life I want and just enjoy waking up in the morning and breathing fresh air no matter whether Japan or Thailand preferably Thailand in the future full-time. I have no family now in Japan.
