Briefly, two nice pieces of Thai 'Wisdom'

1. You cannot use scissors, knives, nail clippers, and presumably shears etc. when you are pregnant as the baby will have a hare lip...Read this somewhere, and vigorously confirmed by wife and mother in law. Sounds like another excuse for idleness to me.

2. Never mind the fishmonger...the real problem here is that they had already abandoned westerners as a lost tourist cause..what they really wanted were Chinese and Koreans...and who, from there, is going to go swimming, let alone sit, on a beach haunted by all those dead spirits. Not my wife.

Oh Dear. Back to the European lager swilling wads o' money
