The Imperial Lake View Hotel And Golf Club Cha-am

Poon Suk street got us thinking about Dr Prunesquallor. Was he a Mervyn Peake or a Kenneth Horne character? We think Peake.

Just back from the Thai boxing. The Brit guy won his bout. The best fight was between two 10 year olds - pure aggression, no dancing or politicking around. First time either of us have been to see ...

... ja on saksalaista bratwurst-ravintolaa ja Viking-pubia. Ilmeisesti skandinaaveja taalla porraa, tekevathan aurinkomatkatkin tanne reissuja kuuleman mukaan. Tukiat kertoivat etta Holiday Inn 10 km paasta taalta Cha-Amin keskustasta vasta paikka onkin. Siella kuulemma henkilokunta heittelee suomea ja satumaa raikaa karaokessa. Tuossa tunnin paasta jatketaan takaisin Bangkokiin kolmeksi yoksi ja sitten lennan torstaina Intiaan ja Mark lentaa samana paivana Manilaan.

... although I feel sure that I will see them both again. Sunday 17th August Today I was working on bears with Casey, Marie and Artur. I enjoyed it. Bears don't inspire me in the same way that the primates do, but they are still really interesting animals. I enjoyed hiding their food all over the enclosures to stimulate their natural foraging behaviour. I think the bears here have very good enclosures, really naturalistic with lots of vegetation and ...

... were squeezing. They were going to take her to an animal hospital 3 hours away to be seen and operated on by a bone doctor. Unfortunately, only about an hour into the trip, Sunday died, so they came back. Awful. The air about the center the whole day was just bad. Everyone was upset about that. Only a few of the more experienced volunteers were allowed in quarantine, so most people hadn't worked directly with Sunday, but everyone had known who she was and Emma's ...

... but you actually have to go into their enclosures to hide their food around. That sometimes means you get attacked by red biting ants in the grass. And it always mean you have to scoop up their large piles of poop while you're in there. (You tuck them away in a side enclosure while you do this and hope that the several locks don't give out). Getting them tucked away in their alternate enclosures (to keep it safe while you ...

... sleeping mats and... oh yes, the children! We added our stuff to the top of the main truck and after another 40-50 minutes of dallying we where on our way - smack bang on 4.30am (my predicted time. i wished i'd actually put some money down now!) About 15 minutes down the road the inevitable happened. Someone had forgotten something! Unfortunately it was us and we had left the bag containing our I-pods, passports and all our cash lying on one of the dinning ...

... up being rather nice and very cheap, which is always good especially after our lavish spending in Bangkok. In the afternoon we visited Khao Luang and Khao Bandai-it caves filled with impressive stalactites, stalagmites and Buddha statues. Now we're going for tea and heading for Khao Sok National Park tomorrow. xxxxx

... nice. i dunno if i would like a roomate here. and the independence is nice. good growing experience. The first couple days i spent with friends just going around town and exploring. the night life in Hua-Hin the popular tourist spot like 10mins away has bummin bars and alot of prostitutes its crazy and kinda gross down there. but you can buy alot of stuff for cheap at the night market. its just street vendors on the streets ...

... the day is through. chang beer contains 6.4% alcohol and many claim that the alcohol content is actually higher. you can get a good buzz from that beer. it's an addicting buzz. i kind of like that buzz myself but for some there is no escape from the addiction because part of effect of that buzz is a hunger for more chang beer. billy is slowly sinking away as others have before him. mark ...

... passes, and more time passes, and as time passes, a certain Thai magic begins to work on the falang and one day he gets that eerie feeling that he is hooked on her, that if she left him he would die, but he is in total denial and even dares her to leave, saying, "I am the one with the money". One day, perhaps after some misunderstandings and certain unpleasant exchanges, she turns cold, or perhaps she goes off to visit her mother or something of that nature. This event takes ...
