Thanks for the reply i appreciate your comments, I will do my best to keep you Guys entertained with the real Thailand not the TV or magazine versions.
Here's a few Photos of local life and bits and pieces around my village, I will go to Bangkok again soon so i will do a bigger post but this will give you more insight into real Thailand not what you see on TV or in the Magazines, It's the rainy season now and i haven't been out in the boat lately so it's had a full service and a good clean and polish, I hope you enjoy the Photos and i will be back with some more Photos and more information on Bangkok in the near future, I hope you enjoy.

This is a Squid Boat the big class bulbs glow green at night they really attract the squid, At night you see them out at Sea all glowing green.
Monkeys swim well
There's a few of these starting to get over here, I don't know what there like.
I hadn't either, Just drive it on the road the same as a Quad and then just drive it into the water the wheels and suspension retract and it turns into a Jetski, Clever idea, There's a test on You Tube i believe.
This could be fun to have at the lake house! On-line they state 140 HP and will do 50 MPH. There is a 175 HP model as well. The cost will be about $40K. A little high.

Thai military spotted testing new transporter for top secret 6 man Landing Craft/Submersible, To convert to submersible remove inflation plug and dispense with Life Jackets and wait.
Went for a meal tonight just thought it was worth letting you know to compare the general costs, Half a roast chicken with the normal trimmings including soft drinks in a small restaurant near the Beach for the 2 of us, Total cost $8 very enjoyable.

Nice, that would have been about 35.00 here plus tax and an expected 20% tip.
1/2 Chicken plate with salad, probably about 12.00 - 16.00 (top end at a beach restaurant)
Soft Drinks are usually 2-3.00 EACH (Torques me off, I drink water)
Yes i was just giving the Engines a wipe over and had just finished when a nice Thai Gentleman holding some sort of machine with a small flame coming from the front asked me if i could wait outside for a while so he could do the business, He did a good job and gave me time to finish giving the Engines a wipe over.
I remember back in the 70's and early 80's Chicago suburb used to come around with trucks and blasted white fog/smoke all over. I think they stopped due to the public health risk! Sure hope that stuff isn't too harmful.

As a kid, my brothers and I would follow behind the city mosquito fogging trucks with our bikes. The goal was to see how close you could get without hitting the bumper. It was years later that we realized they were fogging with DDT.
