Hi Rosanne

I trust you well. I’m getting married in the second week in July 2013, at Nora Buri.
I presume that the weather should be ok as you have mentioned that July is a good time to come, weather wise. Please confirm.

Regards
Gareth

Hi there,
Can you let me know how often its likely to rain in weeks one and two of October. I’m looking at booking a honeymoon and we’d like it to be quite warm.
Don’t mind if it rains for a little, then gets hot and sunny again, but if its going to be really rainy then I might have to reconsider…. Neb

Comment on Buying a book in Chiang Mai? Sounds straightforward but… by Tara

I had a pretty bad experience with the owner at Lost Book Shop. I tried to sell a couple books back and he gave me a super-low price, I (very politely) asked if that’s the best price I can get, and he became incredibly angry and practically threw the books back in my face. I had been a regular customer until that point and it was rather upsetting. Not going back there.

Wally How ya doin ya old sea dog… Was sitting here having a cold one & getting a bit nostalgic & bored & decided to punch up yur name figuring that an old computer expert such as your self would be somewhere. 71 but still looking 50!!! Land locked yur self but surrounded by water 50/50! What happened with your old S & S ? I’m still in Cebu, was doing some intell work for a while for the ole U.S.of A. in & out of P.I. all over Middle East & Asia but if you want to keep on drinking cold beer better ya don’t do it too long. Went to work for a while for Marine Technique / Aboitiz group ship building & repair / operations manager but that also became very dangerous to my health. Me & La Lang now have a very beautiful 7yr old daughter which at 60 she’s also sometimes dangerous to my health, but I really love the little one, she’s very much papas girl. Great looking resort you have just yur style white sand,blue water,cold beer & gourmet food, what more could a man of yur stature & style ask for….. Looks like you found yur blue hole & happy diving. Pls TAKE CARE ALWAYS…. this has already been a 2 beer email. look forward to yur reply. Kelly , La Lang & Baby Shannon….

Comment on Which is better, Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay or Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay? by lmn

I googled “Phang Nga Bay vs. Halong Bay” looking for exactly this kind of article! We’re going to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, so could easily tack on Halong Bay – or not. Still mulling our options, but your piece gives me the information I need to decide. Thanks so much!

Dear Caz
Unfortunately Samui, as with most of SEA, is not particularly wheelchair friendly. The pavements are poor, if any and even mothers with prams tend to push in the road as the pavements are too tricky.
As far as hotels go, only a few of the high-end ones are adapted, such as Centara Grand in Chaweng, Amari Palm Reef in Chaweng, and Santiburi in Mae Nam. Good Luck!

Hi there we are looking at coming to Koh Samui next year.My friend who will be traveling with me needs to use a wheel chair so will it be easy to get around pushing a wheel chair and also can you help with a resort.As she needs a walk in shower not one over the bath as she will not be able to climb in….Caz
