He shoots, he...

misses....

Dammit our buyer pulled out, for 3 days we had all the boxes ticked and started planning the dates and travel plans...

Lucky I choose not to count my chickens before they hatched, cos the buyer had cold feet and then withdrew....damn. 3 days... I thought they'd done their costings...but no apparently they felt the renovations would be too much..

Not totally unknown to happen here but deeply annoying non the less..

So we wait for the next one and we make extra sure that we have signatures in place before we spend a fortune on plane and shipping costs.

But aside from that annoyance, our last 3 weeks here in Chiang Mai has been fun and informative and of course rewarding. We have a home, a car, TV's, internet, phone numbers and a TM.30 which is needed to help register myself when I open up a bank account... something that is a tad tricky to do while in Thailand, but pretty easy when we apply for it in NL... but dates... dates are important and we're back to unknown.

Also I doubt strongly we will get anything back for our missed flights.... but I guess its just something we have to swallow. We had enough savings to cover it, but losing nearly 4K in rebooks is hard to take.

But, positive thoughts, we'll get another buyer soon, even if the current political climate in NL is making people nearvous, we still have a highly desirable propery to sell at a good price.. so it should be too long.
