One too many I think

We have just seen the funniest thing. FBS next door has just come out of his house and got on his motorbike. We think he was a bit worse for wear. He started his bike and did a wheelie down the road narrowly missing two young Thai boys playing football. Not bad for a 70 year old. He was half way down the street before he could get his front wheel back on the ground. Oh I wish I had had the guts to video it. I don't think he would have noticed being so drunk.

A gentle walk (he says)




Today we went for a bike ride to a national park just outside of Cha-am. We have been before but it was so over-grown we couldn't get round. But now it has been cleared (of sorts). The gentle walk had us climbing up a mountain for about 500 metres. I had to go most of the way on all fours like a monkey, but with a bigger bum. We got to a cave at the top, believe me it was not worth the hassle. Getting down was something else. It was so steep and a shear drop. I refused. We had to walk the long way round about 2 hours, through jungle, rocks monkeys etc. Never again. If Dave ever suggests another gentle walk you will not see him again in this life. I WILL KILL HIM. As you can see from the pics the views were amazing. The other pic is the mountain we climbed, please take note of the size of the electricity pole.

War

Well Thailand is now officially at war with Cambodia. The latest is 3-2 to Thailand. Everyone says it will escalate, but again we are far enough from Cambodia not to notice.

Alone again

Visitors all gone, normality resumes. Did the normal things went to The Bride over the river Kwai. Thats not a spelling mistake thats how its advertised. Also went back to Auyatthaya, really enjoyable but oh so hot. Spent their last day in Bangkok. I think thats the hottest place on this planet.
