I'm intrigued now. I've just looked up 'dooker' and am now wonder what you will be wearing.

Oh yes, although I haven't seen one of the really big ones for over a year now.

There we go, it's officially raining https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... ly-started

We normally get a day or two like this in March or April, so today's rain is well overdue. There's obviously been a steady downpour because I've just ventured outside for the first time, and the wasteland opposite is under water, and the BIG termites are rising fast. My son's class outside this even...

Avoid its tail :laugh: Of course, there must be a chance - hook a small fish, small fish gives out distress signals and lizard thinks lunchtime. It used to happen all of the time when deep sea fishing. Fish gives out distress signals, shark thinks lunchtime. I've never known anybody hook a Monitor t...

Having watched all of the building debris disposed of in the lake, I'd guess far too many snags for a fish to get caught on. However, don't forget, there is a virtual bridge that goes around 70% of the lake. That is where many locals fish for smaller fish. Also a refuge for the Monitor Lizards.

Here you go:


and no fishing directly in front of the monument at any time:

No, the last time I was outside of Thailand was 2019.

Don't panic guys, the nice girl at Bluport more or less told me the computer was suffering a glitch. About a 50% chance of being accepted.

The one time I was caught, it was a mobile camera, and I received it in the post.

berlinmichael, I travel that road daily, and apart from the cameras near Vana Nava, I can't spot any cameras. I'd love to know where they are. What I will say, is when I first came to Thailand, I didn't have a clue what the speed limit was and drove at UK speeds on motorways. Yes, I was caught by a ...
