Thats very kind. Thanks for your compliment. Your underwater movies are just amazing - I can't even swim! Love seeing your work.

Thanks so much for that lovely compliment. So happy to know new people are seeing my work. Time consuming is true but I just love the fact that I can switch off and lose myself in it without work bothering

Very lucky you can buy fresh fish straight from the fishermen!

I cant even contemplate starting my day with at least 2 cups of strong coffee!

Thanks for these kind words. I will try to get some photos of the framed paintings soon! I hope next month.

Thanks so much! If you love painting then paint! We are all our worst critics I believe...:)

Thanks so much. Yes it's true a lot of patience is required. I don't think I have the greatest painting skills but thanks for ur kind words.

Thanks so much for that. My dream was to be an artist but somewhere along the way my work got in the way - now I'm happy that I can still find time to paint!

Oh my god. Im so sorry to hear that. I hope that you are ok there and your family too!

In Thai we say "Sabai Dee Mai" - and I guess the approximate translation would be "are you feeling well"? I think its very similar to Khymer which is not surprising as we are neighbors.

Oh nooo. I hope next time you will bring more water...:) Luckily on this trail we were able to receive drinking water and fruit from each of the farms we met along the way - it was not a wilderness trail...:)

I have heard of that place. I will need to visit for sure. Thanks for your recommendation.

Im so sorry..:) I will make sure to double check that Im posting to the right place next time! Luxury baths are the best!

I have never tried bowling in my life. I guess I have to try it one day but here in Phuket there in no place offering it as far as I am aware.

Here in Thailand we have the same situation. Loosely enforced rules that are easily circumvented if you know the right policeman or government official. We are all so tired of Covid. Nearly half my office

Gosh the waterfall and swimming place just looks like a paradise!

Yes really! I would like to do another hike like that but the friends that took me up there are not around now. Please feel free to offer recommendations for other nice trails in Phuket.

I think if a bug jumped on my face I would never eat a mangosteen again hahaha. To be honest mangosteen trees are not easily found and I don't really know where they grow as a main source of income. But

Im so silly! I forgot to set the post to go to ASEAN Hive Community. And now it seems there is no way to add it. Im a bit new here and keep making these mistakes but its OK. Yes it was so hot on the trail

Yes that is how we standard greet each other - I wouldn't say it's "slang" but actually just a polite greeting. Because everything revolves around food here...:)
