Where's Coco?

[Mendip]

Rumour has it that Nev is the gardener

Well, if Nev is the gardener I should be safe putting this up while he's outside trimming the hedge. Maybe it'll last long enough until I can get out and take some more pics!

Coco is very cultural and wanted to visit this thing... what do you call it... maybe modern art?

Location No. 12... Where is Coco?

[Mendip]

Well... Location 12's been up for a day with no takers and the rules state Coco therefore wins.

A 'Green' to Coco. Well done!

This location was maybe 100m north of the Suranari Monument, at the north end of Suan Rak Park. It appeared to be some kind of golden-coloured metallic flower modern art installation. I've searched Google and can find no pics or reference to it whatsoever, so maybe it's quite new.

So you've not visited central Korat in the past couple of weeks Nev?

I think this one could be a little easier... Coco had an appointment, but where did she go?

Location No. 13... Where is Coco?

Where is Coco?

...at Tesco to help you select a new shirt?...

[Mendip]

A Green for humour, but jealousy will get you no-where.

This shirt is one of Debenhams' finest!

And my gut isn't as big as it looks in this pic... I had to lean back to give Coco the stage!

You and Coco have now won more 'Greens' on this thread than Dillinger! (despite his extensive but dubious efforts)

[AntRobertson]

It might just be me, but in every pic Coco has this 'WTF are you doing hooman!?' look.

Minus the WTF . . . more of a resigned . . . sigh . . . but she knows the big guy loves her!

...at Tesco to help you select a new shirt?...

OI! Why diss the shirt!!!

And my gut isn't as big as it looks in this pic... I had to lean back to give Coco the stage!

Of course . . . you're looking rather svelte in the other photos

Location No. 13... Where is Coco?

1308, 9 Mittraphap Rd, Nai Mueang, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000

[Dillinger]

Is it the Korat branch of Weightwatchers?

Or maybe its Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, the home to Thailand's first Marijuana Clinic.

Now pay up Lardy

^ For crying out loud

[lom]

Now pay up Lardy

Sorry, you were one minute late..

[tomcat]

...focus on the dog, please...

[Dillinger]

Sorry, you were one minute late..

One of us is wrong



Most likely me

[lom]

The BDMS logo is a major clue

[Dillinger]

Another one bites the dust.

Should have guessed the flash bastard wouldn't be at a Government hospital

[Mendip]

Minus the WTF . . . more of a resigned . . . sigh . . . but she knows the bug guy loves her!




OI! Why diss the shirt!!!





Of course . . . you're looking rather svelte in the other photos

Bug guy? I'll take 'dog guy' or even 'fish guy'... but bug guy?

Why diss the shirt indeed... I had to go to the UK for this, you can't even get them in Thailand!

In fact it's probably the only one in Korat!

Yes, and also in the Tesco pic... I was leaning back and sticking out my normally flat stomach to rest Coco on!

Lom... I have a bit of a problem here... you see nowhere does your answer say 'Bangkok Hospital Ratchasima', which I was hoping for.

But... as you have the address down absolutely perfectly I'll give this to you. Well done and 'Green' sent!

[Mendip]

Yes! Again, if only Coco's ears were just that little bit bigger and more upright this thread would be a whole lot more difficult.

[panama hat]

Bug guy

Big . . . sorry. Big guy

[Mendip]

^^ Although maybe it's hard enough for some already!

'Lardy'??? Insults aren't the way to win a green on this thread!

One of us is wrong



Most likely me

Yep! Your first correct answer in this thread... it was you!

[Mendip]

The Bangkok Hospital Ratchasima.

(did you really think Coco would go to the Maharat...a government hospital?)

She's interested in getting her ears pinned. She's happy with her nose... it's narrower than most around here anyway.



Both of my daughters were born in this hospital.

The daughter who's featured so heavily in my posts was born in 2011 and her older sister who sadly didn't make it was born in 2009.

I nearly posted on another thread about the dangers of wallowing in self pity, but there's few threads I get involved with these days.

All I would say, is at some point you have to accept your life the way it is... not the way you hoped it would turn out. Then move forward.

Does anyone really think that 30 years ago I hoped to be living in Nakhon Nowhere in my 50s, driving around town with a dog and taking selfies?

It is what you make of it.


Right... I'm off out with Coco!

[David48atTD]

^ Respect Mendip for sharing.

MissFarmGirl was carrying Triplets, but we also lost one.

I share your loss and pain.

We move on, but remember.

Coco wanted to explore Korat's history today and found a section of the old city wall still standing.



Here she is standing on the old foundations for scale. It must have been a formidable obstacle back in the day. You can just see the moat at the right of this pic.



Which corner of the old city is this section of wall still standing?

Location No. 14... Where is Coco?

[NamPikToot]

I'm well out of my depth on this thread, is Coco going to do a "Coco reviews night entertainment spots" thread without the current camera operative obviously?

[Mendip]

^ There's only four corners to choose from... I reckon even Dill would have a chance at this (in four posts!).

Who knows where Coco's career will take her... but at nine months I feel she's a bit young to be out at night. Even in dog years she's only about 10.

The north east corner, Pollan Road.

[Dillinger]

Right, there are City gates on only the North and South sides of the wall. Is that a gate attached?

I'll go with North?
