I read that a budget of 8 Mil baht was set for the Countdown. Not sure what additional revenue was brought in.

Some friends of mine were recently in Samui and they were not impressed. It's been 10+ years since I have been there.

Since he is Australian with English as his first language, I don't think it is unfair or unkind to ask him to post in such a way that it is not a struggle to read what he posts.

I read another of dirthferang's postings and was worn out after it. Can muster the energy to read this one. Sorry.

Spoken like a true Catholic. Ah, the guilt!

Do you enjoy the suffering?

I am not so sure that kind of guy gets embarrassed.

I wonder how much money was spent, as opposed to revenue, on fireworks during the countdown.

It can't hurt to try it. No real side effects to drinking green tea that have been reported.

Since the US occupied PI for so many years, I am not surprised.

You do like repeating yourself and others. Is that to get more postings for the contest? MMMMMM

Any recommendations on brand to buy?

There are many people who are penny wise and pound foolish. I had a partner years ago who would insist on traveling all over town to get the cheapest price on certain items, never considering the gas he used up doing it.

I don't suffer fools.

I have met many people over the years who did not fit their names for one reason or another.

I thought I just said that.

An air conditioned room with a clean good bed and shower is all I need.

Thaksin means southern. Taksin means treasure of Tak. So, it appears he was not named after the King.

Self flagellation is nothing new to Catholic monks and priests.

The fireworks were spectacular. I enjoyed them from the safety of my balcony.

Phuket is one of the more expensive areas of Thailand.

Lock her up and throw away the key unless she undergoes treatment and stays sober. (Not likely to happen)

Here in Thailand antibiotics are available at any pharmacy without a prescription. I know many Thais run for antibiotics at the first sniffle.

I will have to look into getting one.

That always works best.
