Happy Christmas from Thailand!

Our weekly day off and another visit to our favourite noodle shop by the sea in Bang Por, just the other side of Nathorn, about 6kmmfrom home. Now I'm not a big fan of Thai food. In my opinion, it's full

I was having an hour mooching around Nathorn the other day, whilst the wife was having a massage, when I was saw one of the bigger fishing boats dock at the end of the pier. We have these larger boats

Hug Samui, another beautiful beach side bar and restaurant with a chilled out vibe and very reasonable prices.

It's got to be said that I've let the jungle around the back get a little out of hand. I've been busy. It's been hot. I can't be arsed. Take your pick. I have enough trouble keeping the front looking

I know. I promised no more posts about temples, but I find myself being dragged ever deeper into this alternative and surreal universe and as in the UK where community events often happen around the church,

I’ve been going on about sorting out a proper driveway ever since I moved in this house but we’ve come around to thinking that we both quite like the natural red earth and weed effect. Its natural. Why
