Well .... back to the grind ...

Had a great trip and saw parts of Thailand I have not seen before ...
The first 3 weeks was up country and didn't talk English for the time I was there .... my Thai isn't that fluent but I managed to get by ...
The last week was in Pattaya with heaps of tourists and caught up with a couple of mates (also slept in a bed rather than a mat on a tile floor.

)
We attended a funeral in Ubon and saw the biggest mango tree I have ever seen ...

Had some trouble with some really nasty customs officials at Kuala Lumpur as we changed planes there ... will consider flying direct and paying a bit more next time rather than deal with Malaysian officials ...
Nice to be back, Jim
