Up the workers!

Movin day....

no shortage of help loading and trucking ... although I be glad to get the boxes unpacked and my main computer set back up..

I took a few pics today, then used Picasa google plus, to upload, I forgot it makes the images too large for posting here, so here is a portrait format.

One of several helpers!

Perhaps one more load tomorrow....

Washing the car.

5 years ago, I used to pay 100baht.

Now they charge me 200baht for the same car........

Inflation

Still 100฿ here... They once tried to charge 120฿ for tunas, pajos and suchlike but had to readjust...

^ Nice looking soil! Would be happy to have some like this.

It's actually quite heavy clay... but the area had been used a fire pile for years.... it took two weeks getting out the broken beer bottles and tins ...

Certainly better than sandy soils found in most areas of Samui... it's going to be interesting to see how the seedling do...

^^^ Maybe a good documentary project Jimmy...have a go.

Unloading the baggage from the plane in Dong Muang and throwing everything in the cart.

Felt sorry for my luggage and the others the way they were throwing them.
