Where are the clear seas?

Just a brief infotorial which can be added to as other places are discovered. Probably surprising to some that the below is at the Sattahip Thai Navy base. Facilities and restaurant right near the shoreline, and a variety of tropical fish nibbling at your toes. They take real good care of the enviro...

Re: Tomboys on the increase everywhere

Talk to some unmarried Thai women and see what they say about marrying a Thai male. In the majority of cases you'll get every negative descriptive adjective in the Thai dictionary. Why do you think us farang males are in such high demand? :mrgreen: Seriously per what I've been told, the chances of a...

Re: What is it with the locals and mango trees?

Pete Apparently boric acid is very effective at wiping out those small red fire ants. You just sprinkle some near their nest. They carry it back to their nest, and it kills the entire colony. The trick is of course, where does one find boric acid? :D So far I've not managed to find any here in Hua-...

In Dollars, not Pounds Sterling but I'm sure there is one for that out there somewhere. Want to get depressed, punch in some numbers. :( Pete :cheers:

Re: What is it with the locals and mango trees?

I get those big red ants rolled up in a leaf on this flowering vine we have on a trellis going cross the front yard. So many times I've been trimming and grabbed onto the leaf they have a nest in. In my hair, pants, shirt, everywhere but their bite doesn't bother me too much. Burns for a second and ...

Re: What is it with the locals and mango trees?

With ours the sticky stuff is only once a year when the flowers are blooming. Once the fruit starts to appear at the end of the flower stem it seems to stop. Anyway, they make great shade trees once big, and a great place for your hammock. :D Pete :cheers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBDejRxTbJ0
