• I visited  Chantaburi for a few years now and usually take some village kids out with a local  girlfriend , been to the waterfall and the coast many times ,  the aquarium in  Chao Lao .  Was wondering if there was anything else I've missed , they get older and a go kart track or similar would be nice ! Is it possible to hire a speed boat for similar for a few hours  on the water ?

Oh what a tangled web...........................

They forgot to  mention the churches .............................

Without mentioning  the name , I went to one of the famous old gold shops in Chinatown -  it looked real shabby compared with the

modern red  air conditoned stores down the road  .   Also , I only saw  a few amulets on display , no gold chains etc .

Am I missing   something  here ?

Seems ot me every  tourist minister wants to or has to beat the previous years target - this  is just the end result .

Hope those quality tourists start showing up soon !

Compared with  Warren Buffett  - his diet is first class healthy  - looks like he might be aorund for a while -  if he keeps off the Russian roulette !  Think Putin taught him that one .

Jesus ( save us )  797 pages and counting - when will this ever end ? Parity for the pound?

I had to interview some women for   the managers secretary 's job  many years ago  .
The last interviewee without any warning   'give me a flash"   while getting up from her chair  .
 

This was in my  naïve pre -Pattaya days and frankly I have been having nightmares  in the form of flashbacks  about it ever since.

Who do I contact ?

So the way to clean the beaches is to produce  hundreds of  plastic , laminate posters and stick them  on the trees  - hmmm  wonder why I havent seen that anywhere else .

- bet the marine life love lunching on  those little degraded pieces when they  eventually get to the ocean .........

Can I have my old pounds back now please  ?

For a homeless down and out , seems he's got quite a following ...11 pages wow ........

Easy to agree that climate change is happening  -  however to quote Sarah Palin  ( sorry about that )  " you don't have to tell me about climate change - I live in Alaska  - where we disagree is whether we think it's possible to do something  about it " .

Seems to me the first question is easy to answer and we never seem to get to the second part ..................

I rent a flat in London - the tenant left   a horrible brown stain on the carpet -even " professionally cleaned ' couldn't fix it . I eventually found out that it was due to   suncream lotion  - apparently it's more and more common these days . Just a thought

Hunt him down with a pack of Rottweilers and let them tear him apart, limb from limb - but slowly.

And within one of those religions some sects more than others.

 

And who gives Salafi groups inspiration and support?

 

And who was the inspiration behind ISIS and Al-Quaeda?

 

All roads lead to Riyadh and Wahhabism it seems.

 

Not all roads nausea  , a side road   was via the House of Saud and the  sympathetic Bush oil  dynasties who turned a very not very blind  eye to all that Al Qaeda and Bin Laden  nonsense -  until it hit them in the form  of a few rouge  planes flying towards the World Trade Centre ....

I worked there for a while , I must say the Libyans were never noted for their comic sense of humour ......

A budding Mata Hari ............

About 5-6 years it was a real pleasure to drive down SCC to the lake and back  for lunch  , a relief from Pattaya noise and traffic .

I went there this year and was staggered as to how much it had changed . Almost   a 10 Km  continous ' Soi Buakao '  -no pavments ,  endless

shophouses and businesses .

I'm sure it's all for the better but................

Because of the 13 paragraphs let me answer step by step.

Puck - could you expand on those points ?

 

 

 

 

 

So we now put faith in a former Gadaffi strongman who was fighting for his country in Chad , got captured  and  "turned " by the CIA  .

Heads up   an anti Gadaffi  " brigade '  based in the USA  and  after a failed  Libya attempted coup  attempt  lies low .

He then   turns up as a Libya strongman -    after all the heavy fighting has been done by others.

Should work out well for the Libyans !

I would imagine in most other places an irate papa or God forbid mother would have something to say. - or probably do about this man.Why not in Thailand?

I don't know if it's fair to blame him for starting the mess. The Saudis et alii were certainly encouraged by his reaction to the kind of reception that only a dictatorship can reliably muster. But he certainly helped to make it worse.

He's new to the job and maybe he didn't realize  those fireside chats over a Perrier water with the  Sheik

would   actually be -   actioned -  the next day  -   with fire and fury .

Seems the Qatari's needed a  bit of a shake down so maybe he's accomplished something "foreign'   to make up for the domestic stuff .
