Does anyone buy that over here?

 

It should be made illegal and bum guns made compulsory under building reg's throughout the world 

Bum guns, yes, but a bit of TP is still needed to dab-dry your bungholio after hosing it down. Right Susan?

I doubt a bum gun on the dinner table would be real functional.

I find the paper a bit weak.I must have a very abrasive anus.

Natural paper. Unscented. Soft, strong and very economical.

Yea, friend of mine, chased a Cobra out of her bungalow on two separate visits on Phayam 

 

Koh Phayam has loads of snakes. Yes, cobras. Lots of lovely nature though... Lots of Oriental pied hornbill, kingfisher, parakeet. Bats. Lots of ouchy stuff.

 

If you are lucky you can see Thai flying squirrel on these islands (Bangh). It's marsupial.

 

Everything in the water completely collapsed in 2010. In some rare pockets in the Andaman the coral continues to struggle in attempt to make our minor come back. Last year was the best I've seen in a great long time but it's still nothing close to 20 years ago. Some of the fish are slowly returning but a lot of the smaller creatures and just the biodiversity is not there

Hate to see what that looks like by Friday. By Wednesday you're probably already getting fecal molecule re-transfer.

If you have money and want to go to a beautiful place and do a bit of snorkeling where you will see some very big fish and other amazing creatures and corals try

 

Raja Ampat, Indonesia

 

It's not cheap to get to, not cheap to stay, not cheap to snorkel but really the only game in town if you want to see the last bit of hardcore and biodiversity in the world

Some people get fecal matter injections using other people's fecal. It helps to kill certain kinds of stubborn bad gut bacteria that is no longer responsive to antibiotics.

Nah, Bend over exposing the tea towel holder to a free standing fan for a minute or two. Peeping between my legs at my clackers as I'm bent over. Seems to work for me.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which is mainly used to treat Clostridioides difficile (often called C. diff) infections. C. diff is a type of bacteria that can cause severe diarrhea, colitis, and life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It often develops after the gut microbiome is disrupted, commonly by antibiotics, and becomes resistant to further antibiotic treatment.

Yao Noi, Yao Yai, Maproa 

similians

samet

laan , si chang

phuket, James Bond, Kuda Yai, Panyee +3 or 4 others

Chang, Mook

Tao, Samui, Phangan 

And a few more I can’t remember the names of.

 

20+ 

Mook is the only one I did not enjoy, couldn’t wait to leave. Bad accommodation, rock beach.

Oddly enough....my kids have been hassling me about diet and gut health. They insisted I try greek yoghurt, fruit and stir fry vegetables (not all at the same time).

 

I did that for three days.....and I've never been so ill in all my life.

What's next? "How much bottled water do you buy when you go to Makro?"

I thought it would be more likely to be from 7/11!

Makro would be too commercial for it!

Yes, this one has veered a bit off topic. I'd feel quite guilty if it was anyone other than Bignok who started the topic. I very much doubt any of these posts will still be here in an hour so you better make notes/take screenshots now of all the useful information.......

How was Panyi? We have lots of friends on the island that often ask us to come visit. I guess one of the reasons I've not done so is that I enjoy a bit of alcohol in the evening.

 

Imagine everyone was quite friendly. What was the food and the accommodation like?

Phuket

Koh Phi Phi

Koh Chang 

Koh Si Chang

Koh Samui

Koh Lanta

Ko Lipe

Island needs to be 30km+ offshore and preferably made of granite not dirt - although many islands in Indonesia are stunning in their own way.

Koh Mook, LOL...I have some terrible memories of my one visit to that awful island. Like yourself we couldn't get away fast enough. The resort we stayed at they turned the fridge off, no cold beer, no ice, they had next to stuff all to eat, just rice and some fried fish. We went for a walk along a jungle track and a local man pulled his tool out and was shaking it at my Thai wife...LOL That was Koh Mook.

My best beach experience in TH.   Had the fluorescents in surf at nighttime, and spectacular.  Only one bungalow operation on the beach back then, on that bay, Vijit's. 

 

Pure Bliss, sea Eagles, huge crabs, flocks of Plovers & Sandpipers on the beach.  Skinny dip every night & morning with high tide (at you own risk / them crabs) 

 

Only negative, very tidal, and you lose a lot of beach half the day.  Beer sipping time.

My favourite retort......No thanks, I roll my own......but I guess that would need to be in Thai.

Lipe?

 

The entire andaman is like that it's extremely shallow. 

 

A hot tip is if you're going on a day trip check the tides. It's very possible you will spend a bunch of money and hassle going out to an island only to find the tide completely out for the duration that you're on the island. It's still nice and all but it's pretty much a waste of money. Unfortunately ties just don't turn around the next day and do something completely different so you would have to wait quite a while perhaps to get a decent amount of water in to enjoy and photograph

 

Generally speaking peak beauty is high tide
