Which 'new' building do you mean? They've built 4 or 5 new buildings while I've lived here together with a few satellite buildings - so vast is the recent development.

My first there was when my 18 y.o. granddaughter was born. Would that have been the building, or was there something before that?

My personal opinion: 1. SMC still offers good service, but the frequency of their opening is gradually becoming less and less. 2. The after hours clinic is an excellent resource, and bridges many gaps left by the reducing SMC. 3. Generally, HHH is undergoing a massive upgrade. Improved outpatient fa...

It doesn't bother the snakes

I think we need to get back to birds

Yes, I've seen monitor lizards running up trees. I can't see a concrete post providing much of a challenge.

Not really, but I guess if they're sending you to the after hours clinic, you are going late afternoon. I usually visit the SMC on a morning. I know they don't open every evening anymore. Having said that, I used the after hours clinic quite a lot after my accident 3 months back, and I found them to...

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:

Yes, but that path around the lake is used a lot by walkers/runners at those times. Fishermen aren't the tidiest of people, and I'd imagine leave a lot of trip hazards.

Yes, it has loads of fish - I think stocked as a Royal initiative each year to feed the local people (I'm not sure about that, but they certainly put a lot of fish in each year). The snakeheads are the prized beasts, but you need live bait for those. Some very large fish, as well as all of the usual...
