I'm sure we will be richer for your contributions ... well, someone will be richer anyway.

In answer to your OP ... there seems to be an abundance of bridges in Thailand, which are less so from my home town ... whistling.gif

As a old gardener, who hates hot climate, cold climate and climate in general, i find the climate in Koh Chang to be almost bearable.

Just the general nature of people, and atmosphere of society. Calm, respectful, polite, civil, personable, etc. I know some of you have a hell of a time living here, and on many days debate whether you should put your head through a wall or not, but I find it great.

For another quick example of something that has recently happened. Just outside the sub-division around the corner is a small, typical Thai restaurant. Once a week or so I'll have a lazy day, and instead of cooking for the dogs, will just go down there and get four servings of "khao paad moo". At first, I was thrilled that the guy would deliver right to my house instead of me having to wait. Due to this, I'd always tip 40 baht or so (160 instead of 120 baht), just to say thanks for delivering. Now the guy apparently doesn't want to accept a tip, but knows he can't refuse it, because that would be rude. So what does he do? Now when I order I get almost double portions delivered to me.

Just all the small things like that combined I enjoy about here. The people are actually good here, and good deeds are repaid in kind. Back out West everything in society is cold, sterile, isolated, pre-packaged, scheduled, and neatly organized for your every need. No thanks...
