Pretty sure it was Samoa.... Samui are a bit small. 😉

Well, before they created the world silly game and players deserted the old separate local club teams, scrums in League (at least) occasionally, saw the non-feeding team win a few scrums when the ball was fed into the front row. But I get your point.

Yes, you are right. The real scrum disappeared quite some years ago and is now just the hooker feeding the 2nd row where, earlier, that was cause for a penalty.

Brilliant footage and very enjoyable to watch.

Nice to see, but I feel I'd go bling in that light....😜

Landys just keep on keeping on.

you know, I cannot event remember the drive time, but I booked for 9.30 morning time, and came down to checkout at about 9.00 and the clerk told me my driver (Suu) ws waiting in the foyer. We left soon after. With 1 pit stop about halfway For her take a piss, I think, we were at the PoingPhen Guesthouse in Kanchanaburi before lunch. Very smooth trip, lovely female driver, very safe, and efficient (as are Nam's drivers). I have never tried to do Kanchanaburi as a 1 day trip (usually stay about 5 days) and am fully busy for all the time there, at bars, visiting some great sites, including waterf

I spent 2 nights there in late April, and enjoyed it. Nice, largish room with great shower, girl friendly, good pool, good bed. I didn't eat there at all, but had breakfast at The Tavern.

I have pleasantly used Nam's in the past, but for the last couple of trips, including one from Sukhumvit (Bangkok) to Kanchanaburi), I have used Tans Taxi (see her on Facebook) - another all-girl group, great cars, great drivers, etc. etc. Oh, they do have one 'male' driver, but could be a she-male, not sure.... Anyway, I have now been converted to them.

Have you tried Metro Apartments in LK? A bit noisy, being in the middle of disco-land, but a really nice place and mine-host Dennis McConville, a lovely bloke, with lovely staff. Oh, and yes, you will have to climb stairs. Let him know what you want and he'll be honest in what you can expect.

I guess that they have to be inspected by Council periodically, and money would change hands....😏🤐

Buggered if I know how you can just come into Chatachack markets, go directly to the shop you want, buy a particular item and then leave. It is bloody huge and takes me ages just to find a stall that I remember from my last visit. Or, I think it is the same stall....

Thanks for the super, high quality shots. Other than the oppressive heat, I always enjoy a wander around in there. I generally get lost though. I know I have said this before (some years ago on this forum), but I have seen some animals there that I have never see before, or since, anywhere in the world, and I've see quite a few around other countries.
