Ping, ya dreaming again.

Auzzies cabbot take the fact that NZ is and always has been ahead of Aust, indisputable fact.

Were'nt we lucky our "Pollies" from waaaaaay back did not join the Aust Federation.

It is a well known fact that NZ consists of 3 main islands, North, South and West, (OZ)

Betta pix in old 'puter

Just remembered my favourite "T" shirt when visiting OZ

[Ping]

555 dream on! How did the radiation go?

[Zpete]

Early days yet, Ping.

No worries, be 3rd day by the time you find this.

Gals at the hospital say, "Plenty of time", happy sods.......LOL

[Ping]

Oh okay, an ongoing course of treatments.

[Ping]

Bad luck about missing the Friendship Beach BBQ - maybe we can organise a small get together for when you get here?

[Zpete]

32 to come.....

Only takes 5 mins, the drive in is the hassle, 14 kms down motorway in peak traffic. Managed to get an hour later next week.

I bin getting up in middle of the nite, 0700hrs.

Rather the hassle than a coffin.......LOL

BTW.....

When are you due to return to the 17th best city in the world, to live in........LOL?

Must make sure I do not hike off elsewhere and miss meeting you, and anyone else you are in contact with.

PM me if ya like.

Hi zpete,

I've just come back from your local Chalong bar.

I told all the women that the reason that "Pete from New Zealand" isn't back yet, is because, you've decided that you can't live as a female in a man's body anymore. You'll be back in Chalong as soon as the sex realignment surgery is successful and you are all healed up.

[Zpete]

I am booked for BKK, 15th October.

Will hit Chalong soon after. Couple of side trips, will be there for Loy Krathon for sure.

Sir Burgrrrrrrrrr, you will keep.......PMPL.

Dunno if the girls there now, would know me, they do move around.

Not been there since last August due to my "SEX" change...........hahahahaha, etc.

Very best wishes and regards to you Pete we all feel for you.

Kan Win

Dunno whether the "feel" bit grabs me....... hehehe

Cheers all, and TY a lot.

Would be great if some of you guys are still there, when I manage to get there.

[Ping]

I'm here until November, then back to Oz for summer, then back here again (possibly permanently).

[Zpete]

Stayed there 5 times already, it is good, but they bump the price up beginning of Oct.

Way I feel, could be an idea, not much of a fun place tho', why I like a backpackers.

Fun over the road.........LOL

Mite give "Bee" a call, she is/was manager, once I decide if I do come straight down, call from here, get late AA flite from Swampy.

I have her number, so long as it is not changed..

My wife and I are thinking about staying on one of the islands (e.g. Phi Phi Don, Koh Lanta, etc) when we come for a visit this August/September. What are the odds of us having a hard time getting back and forth due to rain? Do taxi boats tend to run less in the rainy season?

Thanks for your help!

[Zpete]

You could try one of the dive companies.

Raya Yai has a neat hotel 5 * place, I hope to stay there in October for a few days.

It is a good place for scuba, also lotsa snorkelling spots.

It appeals to me because it does NOT have anything else there.

No outside night life.

Away from the maddening crowds of Patong etc.

Addy in your PM.....

[Ping]

I think that seattle may have been better to open a separate thread, since very few people bother to open this one. After all, what could possibly interest others about your exploits with gumboots and sheep, Pete? (BTW, I have yet to see a sheep on hoof in Phuket - you may be in for a lonely holiday.) Vegemite.

[Kan Win]

And in the news today brought to you buy Khun Ping in Thailand and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ the Pete from ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZed-Land

Immigration Officers raided Patong Beach and found this

The sole survivours (4 or 5 of them) that floundered onto this great plaice had a whale of a time and beached themselves.

O.K. So, the photo is a bit pissed and like-wise me, in this post

"O.K. So, the photo is a bit pissed and like-wise me, in this post"

I think in this politically correct era that the saying is

"a little Brahms & Liszt"........

but a least you added a little colour to an otherwise monochrome thread.

[Zpete]

"a little Brahms & Liszt"........

Is "Brahms" a beer or a boat?

S'pose that's what made him "Liszt"...huh?

[Kan Win]

Nice to have "khall64au" back on the Island of Phuket.

Welcome back my Dear Keens

Kan Win

[Ping]

Ditto Kan

[Zpete]

Cannot get back...........snifffffff

[Ping]

Not coming over this year, Pete?

[Zpete]

Betcha bloody life, matey, try and stop me.

I will be in Chalong soon after 15th October, which is my arrival date at Swampy.

Just peeeeest off not being there now...... Friendship Beach, wotta beech, geeeeez.

18 radiation therapy sessions to go.

Should finish, 1st August, then get over it.

Hopfully, no more m/c breakdowns, or software stuff ups, like last Friday.

I see Australia with their "KIWI" coach thrashed the French last weekend.

Wait till they front up to real footballers, The ALL BLACKS.

I suppose you'll claim a victory whatever the result.

It's not fair that the All Blacks get a home game in Australia.

[Zpete]

Most probably be as many ABs supporters as Wannabies on Sat nite.

NZ wins whoever wins,
