so much news... of course, corrupt officials profiting off of what they should be stopping and/or protecting is an everyday occurance in the Land of Smiles...

when i lived on Lanta, increasingly packs of stray dogs were becoming a real problem especially during low season!

when i first arrived in '09, i was curious about the Full Moon Party, ALL my Thai friends said "Dok Mai, don't go- this is not for you- you are more mature and you respect Thai culture!"

as much as i love the really stinky 'king of fruits' that 'smells like hell, tastes like heaven', i had no involvement in any durian thefts...

two other things i will always decline any involvement in are skydiving or bungee jumping, i don't wish to undertake a pastime wherein one little mistake is invariably fatal

We're going to be spending forty days on Koh Mak starting next month. Very happy to see them win that honor.
