Thailand is quite a nice place .There are many places of interest to visit . The quality of food served are not so palatable .In places it is dirty and smell bad .it is more recognised for its harem .Clothings are cheap . They are tailored to your size within hours

Sorry to threadjack, where in Thailand are you going Bertie?

Dave, what's the diving like in the area of your place? Once my wife has fully recovered from her stroke it's a place we have both wanted to visit....prob 2018 all being well!

Got friends over there so a few nights in Bangkok, over to Pattaya for a few more nights in a villa then on to Ko Samet. Can you recommend anywhere good for diving in those areas?

That's very kind and extremely hospitable of you Dave, you are a credit to your country.
Thank you very much.

Perhaps 2018 if I am lucky....

To be honest Bertie, the 3 places you are going are not really known for their diving. You can dive out of Pattaya but I would not trust the dive shops for safety as far as I could sink them.... If you are a diver and want to do some then a little further up you have Koh Chang....much better!!!

I stayed at the Maritim (north west of the island) a couple of times and where I first dived. There's a couple of wrecks which were good and the staff there were excellent.Safety was good. The kit may be a bit basic and may not be up to your own standards but I always felt safe. Good for beginners and if the Mrs is still looking for some easy diving then it would probably suit. They have a website to check.

The east coast is a lot choppier.

Definitely meet up with DavemanU, lovely chap.

there are many diving spots in our area .While going to ILE AUX CERFS in a boat you continue your journey to GRSE waterfalls . There are many local boys diving under the thunderous applauses of tourists

I think he wants to go deeper than that and for a bit longer. Ile aux cerfs was nice though.
