Don't Drink and Vote

Location: Koh Samui - Thailand Date: 23 Feb 2008

There was an election on in Thailand, and on the election weekend the sale of alcohol was banned. Interesting idea. I guess their reasoning is that it's hard enough picking candidates sober.

No Durian

Location: Koh Samui Ferry - Thailand Date: 20 Feb 2008

The Durian is known in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits". Its aroma is so pungent though that this King is not welcome inside some places.

Beware Of Strangers

Beware of strangers. That's good advice anytime when travelling, and particularly in Bangkok, where well meaning strangers will come up to you and offer a deal of a lifetime. As the old adage goes, if it's too good to be true, it usually is.

Warning Apes May Bite If Touched

The Barbary Apes of Gibraltar look cute but if they want something they will have their way. If they see you have food in your bag it is not beyond them to jump up onto your bag and try and get it. I saw a woman have her purse "stolen" by a cheeky ape.
