And since when Filipinos are allowed to leave their country ? I have read here before that it was not that easy for them to travel abroad ?

 

 

 

 

They do not have a problem if flying to another Asian Country

Why does there need to be so many "hero's" these days, they did a great job, a job they have trained long and hard for no doubt, it must also be a job they enjoy doing, I'm sure the satisfaction of finding the kids was a fantastic feeling, but are they "hero's"? don't forget they had a huge team backing them up, what are they "junior backup hero's'

Job well done guys! ? 

For one it is not their job, but a hobby. Cave diving is one of the most dangerous forms of diving, often zero visibility and dangerous obstacles to navigate around. In my eyes anyone who risks their life in an attempt to save another life is a Hero.

Plus how many police fines you pick up on the way ?

Definitely sounds dogs. I got bitten before and my cousin got bitten just this week. They said he needs 5 different shots whereas I only needed one. Overcharging hospital exaggerating?
 
Can't believe bad drivers didn't make the list or taxi and tuk tuk scammers

Thai people and their culture

Weather, UK winters suck.

Easy going life style without to much PC

Lower cost of living

It looks like a self propelled cutter suction dredger.

Dredger is what I was thinking also

Thank you Cutiethebeagle

Sadly two of my pals passed over the rainbow bridge, two weeks ago we lost the poodle after only being ill for one day, and two days ago the brindle bull dog lost his fight with the big C. We will miss you guys.

I have travelled extensively on SRT and always enjoy the thrill and excitement of riding 3rd class, sitting on the steps of the open doorways, always handy as I was a smoker back then, standing at the back of the train with just a piece of chain between you and the track , and of course the squat toilet  I can't use one in normal circumstances let alone on a moving train  Unfortunately I seem to have mislaid some of my old photo files, they maybe on an old machine, I will investigate.

 

I have also been fortunate enough to travel at the other end of the spectrum, the Eastern and Oriental Express from Singapore to Bangkok, I hope you will enjoy this set of pics from earlier this year.

 

Leaving Woodlands, Singapore.

Over the causeway into Malaysia.O

Our cabin.

Afternoon Tea.

A very expensive bottle of Aussie wine, very nice, but $55 !!

The Library. You can also get a foot massage here.

One of the restaurant cars.

The other one :)

Only enough room for one person, impossible to pass.

The Piano bar.

A G n T for me, a Mocktail for the Mrs.

Compact & Bijou en suite bathroom/shower

The train is about 1/2 a kilometre long.

The observation car bar.

The adorable hostesses, their costumes change along the way, Singaporean, Malaysian and Thai.

Afternoon Tea.

From the observation car.

We stopped at Hua Hin for a while, all of a sudden hoardes of Chinese tourist thought that they could come aboard, the staff quickly kicked them off.

The New Main station being built in Bangkok.

Thank you for sharing Golden Triangle, nice shots.
