Hello, just been to the pub and met up with long term friends who we have always gone to Thailand with,,,,now over 10 years running, they go back to Thailand in 4 weeks this time without us !!! as we have bought a newer caravan and a newer car,,,they really dont understand us, and think we have gone mad !!!. None of them have children, and we have a son aged 13 so finding it difficult getting him out of school to go to Thailand, tonight i am feeling quite alone and almost "not one of the group anymore" does anyone else have friends who dont get their caravan interest ?

So what's the big deal with Thailand?

Is It true its called Thighland because you have to rub thighs with strangers for hours on end on a plane to get there?

Our friends always go abroad too and don't seem to think that we have "proper" holidays because we stay in the uk in the 'van.

I personally wouldn't swap my umpteen weekends and few full weeks away in our van for their fortnight in some sweltering Greek appartment.

Yes Lozzie, totally understand what you mean. None of our friends or family "get it" either, nor any of my work colleagues. Not only that but any mention of our caravan is usually accompanied by sniggering or worse. I have been called the "P" word to my face. To the point that now we dont even mention that we're going away.

I just think each to their own, we all enjoy different things, thats what makes life interesting.

I have a colleague who thinks she is a bit posh who once announced - a caravan!  I've never met anyone who actually owned a caravan!  How quaint.

Silly women.  We did 55 nights last year while she didn't go away at all.

Plenty of bars in Phuket where you can rub thighs with stangers after you've got of the plane Wendy
