I am really impressed how this thread took off.

Any chance that we can make it up to another 101?

Here and another couple from me to get everybody else started.

102. Beautiful wildlife in and around the house and garden. Geckos that help with eliminating mozzies and other bugs. Tuckoos that look fantastic and take care of the bigger bugs. Drongos, kingfishers and didn't-do-it birds that give the place a real tropical sound. Cows passing by with their gently tinkling bells.
103. Twelve ring donuts for only nineteen baht from the out-of-date stand at Makro
104. Solar cookers work better here than nearly anywhere else on the planet.
105. Roasted plantain in caramel coconut sauces, tates even better than chestnuts at Christmas
106. Barbecued sausages from street vendors with crispy green salad

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

108: After you get stung by a jellyfish you can ask one of the lads by the beach to catch it and cook it for you - revenge is sweet. :D

I was getting bloody worried what you were or could ask "one of the lads" to do to be honest GLC! Thankfully my mind was put at rest after reading to the end.......

109. The number of Thai music stars who travel to Hua Hin to put on free concerts. I was at a concert last night at 19 Rai, and the current series of concerts go on until about 3 Jan - a different star every night.

Last night it was a girl band who won something like X Factor in Thailand.
