I never thought it had much of a life in the first place!

I think most regulars on the Phuket forum knew I was a bloke. KarenBravo is the name of the ship in my avatar.

An old Danish ship, later used by Western

Karon Bravo's sister ship, Kirsten Bravo was my first seismic ship....

A little OT to the discussion.. But if someone designs and builds their own home in Thailand, with all the trials and tribulations that this can have, the issues with builders, language, corner cutting etc.. And ends up with a nicely finished article.. If they then spend time to create a beautiful garden, to generally make something of taste, thats theirs, well I would see pride from the effort put in, not a show of wealth in the cost. Lets face it the time to build a house is (in many cases) far greater then the cost to build a house.

Anyone thats done that hands on, and ended up with a well finished article, gets kudos for the process (from me) not the money that bought the process.

Thank you:wai:. Albeit I left the design to a professional. Which I believe, given the plethora of Godawfully designed houses here, others should also have done.
