now have wireless broadband and notebook PC setup as well


Huh, I knew you couldn't stay away even on a paradise island!

Have fun TJ,

And re: "but will be cut off from i-net, as i will not bring PC" Don't count on it. Internet facilities are on every corner, the question is can you resist the temptation :}


I can understand though, that one needs something to break the monotony of those 2 hour massages every day!! Coup what couP? And who the hell was Thaksin anyway :}

Enjoy it while it lasts TJ. I hadn't been paying attention to the coup. It seems that the General who took over is a Moslem. In fact what has happened is that Islamic Jihad now has control of Thailand, whereas it was previously majority Buddhists [or people who purported to be Buddhists though they had quite an attachment to the temporal world and material benefits thereof].

Islamic Jihad is steeped in blood, so the clear blue water is likely to get a red stain. Tourists will give Thailand a wide berth as Islamic Jihad tightens their grip and squeezes the blood out of opponents.

Edit... speak of the devil. I went to check out Google news and hey presto, as I expected: <http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/thai/articles/20060920.aspx September 16, 2006: Six more bombs went off in busy commercial areas of the south, killing five and wounding over fifty. This attack was directed at the economy, as it hit a tourist area. The Islamic radicals behind the attacks do not support tourism, and the influx of infidels (non-Moslems.) In the wake of the bombings, over a thousand tourists left the area. >

Strange as it might seem to the local yokels, tourists don't like being attacked. You'd think they'd have a sense of fun, and excitement, but no. They run for it.
