Maybe it's time to rebadge this page to 'The Month That Was' or should that be 'The Year That Was'. What happened? Did you get stoned and you missed it or something? I certainly do miss the weekly rave. After a 6 year break from late 2017 till now I'm headed back in July for a couple of months to see for myself how things have changed in southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia.

Wonderful, thanks! Had all but given up all hope of seeing your weekly news again but just logged in for the first time since Xmas and delighted to see that you are back again.

really missing my fix of The Week That Was!

Looking like it's time for me to renew my passport and head back over after a 5 year break from the place. Things went downhill badly following the Coup and death of the old King as it became increasingly difficult to stay in the country for any longer than 60 days. Had thought I'd never venture back again and looked at Malaysia and Indonesia as easier visa friendly options. However recent events have given me hope that perhaps not all is lost! Thanks for writing a much better column than last episodes lackluster effort.

Best one yet, keep it coming my friends.
