About me

Mostly travel S.E.Asia, loved the place ever since i first went to Malaysia in 1972. Try and go every year recently retired so can now travel for longer. Thailand holds a special place in my heart will never forget Samui in the early 80s and Laos early 90s still many places left to visit as long as they are off the pancake trail
