just learnt that we can get a train down to Singapore from Bangkok for 40 quid, two day journey thats cheap as chips, or we can get to Bangkok by train in 3 weeks for several hundred quid, both trips are going to be given serious consideration for the end of the year :smile: taking the Bkk-chiang mai sleeper train tomorrow night :smile:

You do get about, who are you travelling with.

With my kid steve,he is doing exceptionally well in Uni this is his reward,but we are planning the singapore-Bkk trip for later in the year,we are here for a good time not a long time as the ozzies say.

Must be one of the best things out sharing your life with a son who is interested in the things you are.
My son is a lazy bugger and that's down to his mum and grandma and grandad, but i still love the lazy sod,
Now my daughter's they will try and share everything with in reason that i may want to do.

I was shooting on the range an hour or so ago Steve,my kids idea, he is a physical outdoors sort of kid but loves study and books, he doesn't drink nor smoke,his aim is to graduate as a Dr :smile: I think he is going to get there :wink:

[stevewool]

Sounds like you are teaching him well, and the rest is down to him

Life is indeed good, but its down to ourselves to make it this way.

Brought the balloon flight forward to this morning as they had vacancies, had a great flight, landing at a rough airfield we saw 3 microlights coming in to land one of the Chinese girl balloon passengers points and says we fly?I was sitting drinking coffee while she took off, i spoke to an exceptionally pretty Thai microlight pilot, she learnt to fly at 14 years old, she solo'd in 20 hours :cwm24: had a really nice breakfast, then the rest had champagne while I hand fed what was probably several hundred koi tilapia and red tailed catfish on the edge of a pristine landscaped lake, nice morning.
