Business recently sent me across to Ban Chang, about 100 miles South East of Bangkok. It’s about the same distance from AUH to Bangkok as it is to London (300 miles less actually), but is a different world again.

Dog meat?
I know you were just joking but, unlike Vietnamese, some Chinese and Koreans, Thai people do not eat dog. You may be able to find dog meat only at very few seedy, and usually illegal, shops.

Not sure but........
The women in the white dress looks like she's been around a bit. I remember seeing a photo of your dad taken with a Thai bird back in the sixties when he was in the merchant navy. I'm not sure but I think it's the same bird.
