Title: greeting from Thailand
Post by: sellickbhoy on October 30, 2009, 09:48:55 am
just taking 10 minutes out of my hectic schedule here in thailand - it's hard work going from pool to bar and back to pool again. Especially in this heat. But at least i get some shade on the way, so it's better than having the nice wee girl (with decidedly big hands and a deep voice  :o !!!) bring it too me.

Oh and the food!!!!!

I managed to spend 5.20 on a 3 course dinner for 2 last night - though the beers took it too nearly 6.00!!

anyway, food was great, went on a days cooking course so I can now make all my own favourite Thai dishes

hope you aren't missing me too much!!

if you are bored, i'm in Railay, near Krabbi - you can look it up, some nice pictures online of the place!

Lucky you hope you have a wonderful holiday!  Don't be tempted to pay for a photo with gibbons - they are always taken out of the wild after their mother has been killed and are usually drugged.  They also tend to carry TB and Hep B.  I used to work in Thailand rehabilitating the poor things to release back into the wild.

Strangely enough I have no wish to go to Thailand - I think basically I am a little afraid, but that isn't rational and I couldn't say why I feel that way.

Oh, goodness - a soul mate at last  ;) ;D ;D ;D

I remember my father telling us some real horror stories of when he was in India so it just put me right off and I just have no urge to go there at all.  I know it was a long, long time ago, but even so................................

I've heard some pretty horrific stories about  people travelling in India, particularly women.  Mind you I've met loads of people who loved India, but hate Thailand.  I adored Thailand and would go back tomorrow - not sure what the boys would think of living in the rainforest though - they think spiders an inch across are big, no, no, no that's tiny!

Over the years I have holidayed many times in different parts of India and have always loved it and felt 100% safe. I have now been to Thailand twice and also love it there. The people in both countries are beautiful, warm and welcoming and I would be happy to set up home in either place. I am off to Las Vegas tomorrow, now that is a million miles different from India and Thailand.

Well I can honestly say I have been around the world twice, stopped in the best hotels in Singapore, Sydney, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Cyprus, Spain, Norway, Germany, France, Egypt, New Zealand, Brisbane, Barrier Reef, San Fransisco, Bali, Maui (Hawaii) and even London, and had a great time.

I could have settled anywhere when I decided to leave the UK, and was offered jobs in Australia, New Zealand and San Diego.

I chose not to work but to live in rainy Ireland - and I would not move anywhere else.

I love where we live and only occasionally would like a couple of weeks
sunshine AT HOME ;D ;D
