For such a low price country (Thailand), Swampy is bloody expensive for just about everything. Chocolate bars are about 8 times the price of the same stuff in Dubai, one of the world's most expensive cities. I hate paying 175 baht for a singha as well. Hope the new place (old place) is better.

agree about the pony folk - they used ot be disciplined about teh horsecrap - but now you see bags of shite (literally) sitting all along the beach - when everyone claims times are hard, this is not a good impression to would be tourists.

ah - like the bear

the true authentic thai shopping experience is being surrounded by loads of local honeys while you buy your beans n bread.

Gaew bar or something like that on Soi 80 rents motorbikes. The lady manager/owner is proud of her motorcycle list, and can show you scars from the many times she has fallen off. Great legs though.

Tried a new dish from the blackboard last week, pepper beef and prawns, absolutely brilliant. And the service was impeccable, waitress (Nen) was perfect balance of service without intrusion.

Surely the good reputation of a builder doing a good job for a fair price is far better than a cheap builder with a dodgy reputation at teh going rate fro thailand. You will have to live with what you get for a fair time.

Thee are other forms of diving available of course. On dry land, around soi bintabaht.

Maybe I am just stupid, but the rocks can be easily seen at high and low tide, there are signs about not swimming next to them. The beach gets a bad press yet I find it to be quite stunning (when the sun shines), the water is clear and seems to therefore be clean, the jellyfish are unfortunate but t...

Does anyone remember when dogs were described as "mans best friend". Seems the soi dogs do not enjoy that emotion.

When will the Christmas Day menu be published. I am planning to book a table for 6, unles I am frightened off by some strnage concotions.

For me the caddie is an asset and a crucial part of the golfing experience in Thailand. As is walking the course. In Dubai we have to take buggies and we cannot get caddies. Having four hours walking in the sun bantering with your mates accompanied by a smiling Thai lady is a great day out, and it i...

We get a lot of aussie beef and lamb over in Dubai, and to be honest it is generally over rated. Whatever they inject into the beasts for the sea journey leaves a lot of meat with a liver like after taste. Much prefer New Zealand beef, but it is pretty expensive. I woud really like ot find aplace th...

how do you access this feeding time thing please ?
