  1. How the hel_l is a seemingly unterminated cable left live? Furthemore, it should have been connected through a Earth-leakage breaker, which would have tripped immediately upon contact with the water (earth) and the guy would not have been electrocuted. Whichever so-called electrician worked on this should be fuc_king shot!!

  2. Openly picking your nose in public and coughing all over people.

    We have that amongst the indigenous population in South Africa as well. Rahter disconcerting to go into a pizza take away, where the guy has one finger deep up a nostril whilst actually taking your order, and then turns to prepare your pizza topping without wearing gloves...charming. Staff in delis coughing over the open food display..charming..welcome to Africa!!

  3. If I were taking kinds to Thailand I would seriously consider the Island of Koh Tao. Lots to do..sailing, diving, snorkelling, kayaking and so on and a little bit of a nightlife scene. Very good value if you hire a family bungalow at one of the mid priced resorts. Alternatively you could spend a few days in Hua Hin and then get a bus/ferry package deal from Hua Hin to Koh Tao. It's a few hundred baht about 400 I think. bus takes about 2 hours to Chumphon and then high speed catamaran takes about another 2 hours to Koh Tao. To return from Koh Tao, either take return ferry/bus to Bangkok..full day trip..or easier but more expensive take catamaran to Koh Samui and then flight to bangkok.

    Nice trip would be a few days in Hua Hin, a few in Chumphon, a week in Koh Tao and afew days in Koh Samui and then on to bangkok. Would not cost a great deal more than full time in Hua Hin (about 2500 to 3000 extra per person if using bus-ferry-cat then cat-plane, or only 1000 baht more per person if using only bus-cat then cat-but return). Some of these extra costs would be offset with savings in accomodation in Koh Tao.

    Hua Hin, Chumphon and more so Koh Samui have a "night scene" in varying degrees and Koh Tao a very small scene. Good balance for family methinks
