Yep, good question. Would love it to be open, come October, when international airlines reopen in Australia.

Did you buy the Indian manufactured one for Hindus? Made from cowshit.

No comment necessary. It will all pan out, in time.

Personally, I still don't give a fuck - I just need paper on the roll! And, also, not to be only given 2 squares to do the job, as in some pay dunnies.

Great photos again. I remember one afternoon, just after the turn of the century, I was walking around the park, feeling quite seedy after a heavy session. I lay down on the grass, pulled my baseball cap over my eyes and dozed off, only to wake up when the sun had moved and my shade disappeared. I found that I was surrounded by four of those bloody big lizards and they were closing in on me. I reckon they thought I was dead. Frightened shit outta me! It took some time before I went back there, but my Thai 'wife' and I spent an hour or two in the park in early 2019.

One doesn't have to be in the situation of "being up shit creek' these days; it seems that Mr Shitcreek is quite up himself, going by his posts (being provided by a newbie). I quite agree with firth, on his responses to him.

My memories are much the same, Bullfrog. I spent many years living in a town where fishing, timber working, and dairy farms dominated. At the age of fourteen, I used to get up in the mornings, summer or winter, and walk about a mile, up to the dairy. The cows came in automatically, at the milking time each morning and, I had to light up a boiler and, get the milking cups ready. From there-on, we milked the cows and separated the milk, where the cream went to the butter factory and, the skim milk went to the pigs. Even when it was a cold winner's day, I never wore shoes and, waited for one of t

I was trying to get back to my house (roads closed) and I had to work my way through the bush, walking, and dodging barricades. I had been evacuated from my house due to bushfires and didn't know if the house was still there. Luckily it was - the fire was being controlled about 350 metres up the road. Not good memories, and the year got worse....

When we stayed down there, it was a chill-out time. we had already spent a busy 2 weeks in Thailand, and she (as lovely British) girl wanted a couple of nights just with me. She booked and paid for the resort and, I must say, I enjoyed it. We did catch their mini-bus into Pattaya twice - once day time and once night time. I think it was fairly expensive at about 400 baht (for the 2 of us), return, each trip, but they picked us up at the designated time, and maybe that was a fair price. I believe that buses are much more expensive there now, around 500 baht each. Sorry about the thread goi

I was among the first to stay at the Sun, Sea, Sand Resort at Na Jomtien, for 3 or 4 nights back in around 2006. The beach there was only a few metres wide, and the sea just as filthy as in Pattaya, but only a couple of hundred metres down the beach was (what I think is) the fishing village you saw. We had a beautiful seafood lunch there in the restaurant right on the beach. We remember not well. The resort has got bigger and a lot more costly. There was also some sort of elephant farm, or refuge between the resort and the main road. Russians owned it and there were nightly live bands there.

Rhino Tusk: Ah, Kassalong - I have had a few very talented girls there over the past few years,? I usually walk down Soi 6 from Soi 4 and directly into the front door.

So sad to know, after the last few rumours. I certainly will miss sitting outside at a table, under a light, with my Thai lady, catching some early evening breeze, cold beer in my hand, and enjoying a nice meal to kickstart the evening. The brightening lights on the harbour made those evenings quite romantic for us. I am a little melancholic about it all.?

Not sure what you are saying but, you do realise, that Thailand is also in the northern hemisphere, don't you?
