When we were in the posh places we never saw anything, but when the evil one was not with us (she decided to go to Bangkok before us for a few days, and other nights she was sulking!) we'd go and have street food which we loved... but the rats were all over!

We have a great time... but I think that was because she was not with us!:D:D:D:D

I must remind myself to be kinder

We were just saying earlier about how different life was a year ago :eek:

I can certainly agree with you there. This time last year, had my first allotment and was nominated to run the local allotment society's sunflower and scarecrow competition for local schools. Went really well, loads more entrants than previous years. As you know, by the end of the year life had reallly changed. Certainly brings home to you to try to make the most of the time that you have. Not always easy to do though.

Emma how awful for you poor sister having so many problems with her first home so unfair some people should not be allowed to be landlords. I hope she gets it sorted.dd2had to move from her first house when the sewage pipe from the toilet leaked down the wall and they just sealed it with sealant even though the pipes were cracked and needed replacing.

For all life throws at you MKS, you remain resilient and positive.

My DN has just invited me to her wedding in Phuket in October. At the moment, not sure wether I can go or not. If I do, would like to combine it with a few days in Bangkok. Any tips? TIA.

We had a month there, we started off near phuket, bangkok, krabi, surat thani and khao lak.

If we went again we would relax... instead of moving around so much.

In phuket, head south the beaches are great. There is a lot of organised crime in Phuket, if you get short changed don't argue about it and we had some issues after someone accused DS2 of being gay and he said he said he was to challenge them.... not a nice experience as if was a little violent (my boys are black belts... I don't think they were expecting to face resistance).

In bangkok go walking in the non tourist part (but dress appropriately with legs/arms covered and a cloth for your head), I couldn't go near the sex tourists/pingpong trade (just morally). we loved eating on the streets, the market in bangkok is massive and really quiet fun (wear full shoes because of the rats), swimming with the fish was great, and everything about khao lak, we climbed up some waterfalls, and was in a very posh hotel.

When we were in bangkok we had hired a private driver for a few days, we went too far north (there was political unrest) and nearly got arrested, the palace and the temples are lovely, we also had a great trip on the river (I think it was memorable as the boat/s kept breaking and another one would come and we'd climb onto it...). There is student area in bangkok which we enjoyed, it was dancing on the table sort of place!.. if you need any dental/medical treatment... it is so cheap and efficient.

Talk to the locals and enjoy it... and sit in the sea in the early evening with a bottle of wine from the super market swigging it out of the bottle........... wonderful.

Enjoy

Just don't arrange to spend a month with your son's girlfriend who you have never met, who is nearly your age and really doesn't like him having a family.... but still expect his parents to pay for you!...
