being able to patronise a small family run business ,whom show their appreciation by giving you service for which you would clearly have to pay hundreds of dollars for back home--all for only a couple hundred baht a day!!

yes,Thailand is a very special place!

Pretty much the same as all of the above, apart from the Katoeys, but Goshawks post made me think.

I've seen Sea Eagles a few times in Koh Chang, magnificent!

Ther's one Loveable Little Black Duck thats paddling in a very shakey pond that could use

a Job, a Hand Out, a New Sponcer, (Duck Breaks into song)"Someone To Watch Over Me"

Any spare cash thrown my way greatfully recieved... :o

This thread was going very well for a while - does anyone remember what the topic was?

Just a reply to farangRussIam: don't mind Jet, s(he) has mentioned a backround of living around Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. so I wouldn't bother taking any mind (after all, there's not really one there, is there?) Read prior posts with regards to the sign up date vs number of posts. S(he) is trying to get into bedlam? Be a Mod? Carry on bud, eh? :o

sorry mate,

but the boys were just having a bit of fun.

ok the op was "why do we love los"

easy answer is,

because its bloody brilliant, warts and all. :D

thank you very much :o

Because the government is not watching your every move ... unlike in the UK. There is still some semblance of freedom left in Thailand especially after Taksin's gone

Getting nowhere anymore ,no top 1oo anymore but top nonsense top 100 :o

Cant disagree with what has allready gone before.

Although for me the main reasons are:

1. the way and friendliness of the people although some may have ulterior motives! in general thais are a friendly people.

2. The culture, lots of traditional culture present, somthing I love to learn about.

3. The countrys history and places of historical value.

4. The temples and respect the people hold for their beliefs/ faith.

All in all the list could be alomst endless. :o
