| 1st January 2009 leon oz | Happy New Year - From: Bangkok - I'm Back in Thailand Hi Anthea, I am back in Bangkok after staying in the village again, all is good except I have a cold which I hope will not last too long. I had an early new Years Eve at 3 am as I needed some sleep and am saving myself for a big night out Sunday for a friend in Bangkok's birthday which will probably be the all night disco, hope so anyway - "Sawatdee Bpii Mai" or Happy New Year from Leon to all my family, friends and everyone in South Australia and whomever may read this blog. |
| 1st January 2009 leon oz | Hi Reet - From: Bangkok - I'm Back in Thailand Hi Reet - Yes I do love Thailand - I missed your message but had a very nice time at Elephant Nature Park and have just returned from Chock Chai near Korat where I stay with a Thai family. It's hard to believe what has happened to me in Thailand and I have found a friend and family in a village where everyone seems to like having me around. It was not easy leaving after 8 days there to come to Bangkok again for New Years Eve - Happy New Year from Leon |
| 20th December 2008 anthea | Safe arrival - From: Bangkok - I'm Back in Thailand HI Leon glad to hear you arrived safely must be a family thing because i had a reallly bad hangover last saturday too.

| 14th December 2008 Reet | Again!! - From: Bangkok - I'm Back in Thailand Hey Leon And here I was thinking I was addicted to Thailand... you seem like you never leave the place!! Have a great time, and say hi to Michelle at the ENP for me if you get this message beforehand! Reet xx |
| 2nd October 2008 leon oz | Hi Anthea - From: Chiang Mai - Ride The Wild River + Pandas - A Day at the Zoo As always I have been having a very interesting and fun time here. Friday night I am heading back to Korat and the village, leaving from Bangkok. My friend's Grandfather passed away last night so I am not sure how everthing will be there so I guess that I will find out how a Buddhist family will deal with bereavement. Grandma is the nicest lady so I feel very sad for her and Grandpa seemed like a gentle, good man the few times that I met him recently when he was very ill. Alll the best Leon in Thailand |
