    Man im having vivid flashbacks of Pattaya and Phuket. Looked it up on Google Earth. Just looking down on the road, i remember riding down there. Just coming down the hill in Phuket, where the road flattens out, there is this dusty spot. Barren on both sides. Its still like that.

    The other way. To Karon beach. It's a 12 minute drive. Just checked on Google maps. Perfect little rip to get my rocks off.

    There isn't a dirt road. It's just a spot where the road is dusty

    Gonna pull a word out of my late great mom's vocabulary.. Nincompoop, yes its quite descriptive of you.
    I guess I should hire a professional editor for my TD posts. Grafts came to mind and I just wrote graphs. It sounds the same. Graphs is a far more common word that I use a few times a year. Maybe the first time I've ever wrote the word grafts.

    In fact it is easy to avoid the seedier areas for those that want to avoid this scene.

    The only real negatives are - 1. There are no decent beaches with surf and the water quality is terrible.
    2. The traffic is becoming difficult to negotiate but it is still a lot better then Bangkok's traffic congestion.
    3. The occurrence of police road blocks is annoying.
    4. Because of massive growth of Pattaya infra-structure is falling behind the services required.
    Traffic is worlds better in Thailand compared to the Philippines. At least in Thailand , that open highway does eventually come. In the Phills, it just doesn't

    Duterte better get some deals with China for highways. Cuz they fucking need them

    Palawan is beautiful. You might compare it to Phang Nga Bay (but even better, & less tourists). I'd say Coron & El Nido should be on anyones itinerary.

    Yup, work and holidays. Manila, Cebu and quite a bit of time in Mindanao.

    And you're a frustrated little clown who thinks the world ends at the tip of your nose. The only thing you know or believe is what you have experienced yourself . . . and that could fit into a teacup.

    Now go away and allow adults to have a discussion without your infantile interruptions.

    It doesn't take very much travel in the Philippines to realize that they are in dyer need of highways. Thailand is a first world country in comparison.

    Did you travel much by road in the country or are you just an airport rat ?

    And helicopter is, in your estimation, the only alternative. I see.

    My answer needs to be seen in context as a discussion isn't only whatever was said last. Context:

    Getting into crushing debt with China is the way out for you?

    I agree . . . the next step is to figure out how to get them built, where to get them built and to keep graft down to a 'minimum'. The injection of Chinese billions isn't going to help that, rather it will place Flipland further into Chinese debt and pressure.
    Fishing rights and islands in the SCS anyone?
    Are you really so naive to think that China just hands out dosh?

    Reading is simple. Comprehension isn't, right?

    PH, it has nothing to do about reading. Skidmark knows nothing about Asia. When he has come here be it Thailand or the Philippines he is only mongering. Never interacts culturally at all. All he knows in the last 10 years is Google. Which is next to nothing if you dont experience it.

    Its hard but he has succeeded in making Fluke seem smart. Naive is not a strong enough word to describe him. Freaking clueless is much better. But he is quite harmless sitting back in Surrey BC as fall and winter come on.
