First trip to the GM plant
... hour and a quarter to drive to the plant in Rayong (two hours if the traffic is bad!) It is a very uninspiring drive! Some highways, some smaller roads bordered by factories and terrible little run-down hovels where people live. Really quite depressing.
All along the way there are people waiting for buses. The big factories (like GM and Ford but many others) provide free buses to drive their workers to and from work. Most people are too poor to ...
Island Paradise
... There seems to be a neat friendship between the Koh Samet people and the dogs. We to do not mind them sitting at our feet or underneath our chairs. However, the girls know not to pet them and Victoria is horrified of the rabies needles. Graham turns 40 in the next few days and I could not have dreamed of a better location to spend his birthday.

Island hopping!
... see the fish and sharks contained in the nets in the sea, there was about 40 individual ponds with everything from sharks to turtles! I had my camera so had to creep along the boards like a girl to avoid being shark bait. Ended up relaxing at the beach and will return with Ben and Andy (a dutch guy we met at the resort) to Bangkok tomorrow morning so we can meet the other and have sushi at Noi's house then hopefully move onto Cambodia and Laos for a few days.
