    Don't follow the crowd
    Then going to Mauritius, Madagascar, Zanzibar, PNG, Timor et al even Malaysia or Indonesia would be more up your street?

    Coming to Thailand would be just following the crowd?

    Many people claim they are different but in the end...

    Oh and the best place in the herd is in the middle, not at the front or following. Maybe the Thailand boat has already sailed?
    Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
    I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.
    You people, you think I know feck nothing; I tell you: I know feck all

    let the guy have a go at it.
    Give him a break.
    The risk is small in any case.
    What does he need?
    A computer and an internet connection.
    Seems a cheap investment to me.
    I have seen people that risked and invested a lot more,....
    So let him try.
    There is nothing wrong with trying, especially not when there is only a small investment involved.

    "We're going through!" LandOfSmiles' voice was like thin ice breaking. He wore his full-dress Thai costume, with a heavily braided white cap pulled down rakishly over one cold gray eye.
    "We can't make it, teerak. It's spoiling for a hurricane if you ask me", replied the Thai co-pilot.
    "I'm not asking you," said LandOfSmiles. "Throw on the power lights! Rev her up to 8,500! We're going through!"

    "Are you the millionaire banker, LandOfSmiles?" asked the pretty flight attendant.
    "Yes" said LandOfSmiles, removing his gloves slowly. "I made my money during my day job lunch breaks, but I am multi-skilled and can fly planes, too. Even in a hurricane."

    Three hours and a safe landing later, a Thai customs officer asked, "Did you pack your bags yourself, sir?"
    "Yes, of course."
    The customs officer thrust a Glock 19 at the confident figure in front of him.
    "Have you ever seen this before?"
    LandOfSmiles took the gun and examined it expertly. "This is my Webley-Vickers 50.80," he said calmly.
    An excited buzz ran around the customs hall.
    "You are a crack shot with any sort of firearms, I believe" said the customs officer, insinuatingly.

    No. I have to admit that I only wrote part of it. I simply adapted some of what a great writer wrote many years ago. It just seemed to fit perfectly in this thread. I'm surprised nobody recognised the bulk of it as the work of James Grover Thurber.
