go to korea, you fool! As one who has been, and seen the life there, there are much worse things than living in Korea (and getting paid) to be close to a woman you love. Good luck.
Scuba Diving? I thought I asked you never to mention scuba diving around me. That clearly dictates a ban on any blog I might happen to read containing a mere whisper of ocean adventures, let a lone an entire blog dedicated to the loathesome activity. Seriously, how dare you. You should be ashamed.
Nice pics Hurray! You even referenced my photos. Nice. Really good entry. You put mine to shame. I'm getting so used to the Thai version of English where one speaks as clearly with as few adverbs and adjectives as possible that I've forgotten how fun it is to write elloquently. Thanks for reminding me.
I guessed you would find it all fascinating and enjoy the concept of being in the midst of a coup :-) The photos are intriguing and just slightly bizarre!
Nice photo , nice blog, I am living in bangkok also but seem nothing effect me and my friend at all just hope we will get a new prime minister soon. :D
cool blog - I'm off to thailand next week and knew it would be ok but it's always nice to hear it first hand...... liked the Laos one too keep em coming!!!
Safe yet surreal! Well, Michael, your experiences just keep getting more and more interesting! Thanks for the Birthday gifts and for your phone call tonight - I had a great day!
Intriguing blog mate! You're totally right Michael, its seems more like a fun-fair than a political uprising. I too would have loved absolutely every minute of it!. Of course, in 10 years you can stretch the tale out a bit... Dont you remember how you heroically rescued several innocent children from the threat of a merciless oncoming tank in a heated exchange of gunfire? All while wearing a yellow tshirt.
Bombed but beautiful! Hej! Great to read your newest blog. Beautiful pictures, great text. Lovely photos of Jen and your other friends! What amazing experiences you are having, so keep writing material that will be ready for your book!!
Thanks Michael for a great blog on my birthday! It is always the people who make a place and I'm glad you had the opportunity to have such a great trip with your three special friends. The country looks spectacular and your photos reflect a fun-filled trip. You were game trying fried whole frogs!
Can't wait for the next episode! It all sounds so rich on so many levels, the photos are as ever beautiful and the friendships precious for themselves, no matter how long they last or where they may lead. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Looking forward to Mum visiting me in Vienna soon!!! :P Awesome to read through your latest blog man, but not surprised at all by what you guys got up to. Just hope that I can find as interesting and exciting stuff to do in and around Vienna...
Hello :) Hi, just wanted to say how lovely your mum sounds! I think she's really beautiful and you both seem really nice people! I don't usually write to strangers and tell them they have beautiful parents - I swear it is a one-off! Hope you have a great time! Beautiful photos too by the way!
Hi Michael, You do indeed have an amazing and inspirational mother. She looked fabulous in her dress at Neroli's party last night. You are a great credit to your Mum and Dad. Thanks again for the blogs.
Cheers Penny
Reliving the Memories! Hi Michael, I enjoyed reading your blog and seeing people and places I knew! Your blog certainly gave a good coverage of life at Rangsit. Don't forget to do some study in the midst of all your travels! God bless!
good work. Hey Michael! Surprise!! jen, here. Great work summing up the life of a farang student at Rangsit. (even though i was not technically a student at Rangsit I could very much relate to the things u mentioned) It has not even been 24 hrs since i left Rangsit but i m already missing all the luxuries i had like....7 baht water, watermelon..hmm..watermelon shakeS??!!?? Drink lots of watermelon shakes for me. :-) I just showed ur pics to my family and My dad did not even recognize me in the picture. He thought i was one of ur philipino(?) friends. Anyways...Keep writing. I really enjoy reading ur blog. Take care. xx Jen.
No offence to other lonely old overweight men ! In addition to my previous comment - no offence to other old overweight men who are simply lonely and genuinely looking for true love and happiness...............(just covering my @ss :> ) Cheers! JC
What a Life ! It is nice to know the perspective of a young lad having the best time of his life in Thailand, which is something different to stereotypical old and overweight balding men using their wealth to gratify their sexual appetite in the under-privilege world. Enjoy it while it last !... Cheers !
