Is your piece of paradise one you're happy to share?

STAKE HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER DIE THREAD DIE

An excellent comment from Cornucopia above (#45). I suggest a dry martini at The Oriental - superb.
James Dean (#50) I suggest that if you want to write travel stories you first brush up on your grammar. Also, anyone who's reading this thread and is interested in finding that 'secluded Paradise', probably has little or nothing of interest to write about anyway.
Whilst I'm at it, I also recommend the Sunday brunch buffet at The Peninsula. Another superb place to hang out. The spa there must be the only real piece of Paradise ledt in Thailand.

Enjoy the martini - be sure to have it super dry.

on an unrelated gripe ... does anybody else have difficulty reading post #46, this forumn is international ... don't use your stupid local abbreviations and slang.

its so tiring.

A xealous one ? Is that how you would spell it ? What does it stand for ? A xenpphobic realot ?

Make that a xenophobic zealot !!! Sorry folks, new glasses.

Yeah, relax xealot, different idioms (is that the word?) give this site its international flavour. I enjoyed arry's post - it's great how Poms and Aussies have been good naturedly revving each other up for years. Nearly as much as Aussies and New Zillunders.
Although some reader on TT Thailand don't see it as a friendly piss take. Fer the record, I find the 30s+ Brit set a great group to share a beer with - always good for some great stories and lots of laughs.

Oi you lot! an it gets worse, these Ozzy sheep sh**ers, sorry sh, sh sherers! not only pinches our sheilas but takes em ome to their place in the bush. gives em a set a air curlers, ousecoat an slippers, plus alf a dozen sprogs, then, they still dresses up evenings, an moans to their favorit, shirley the sheep, about ow ard done they ar. yer wouldn't wanna go there would yer. One girl i know got a job in the bar at that place,Tezza lives, adn't seen a woman in 3 yrs she ad ter flee fer er life after 3 days. Lonely Plonkers ought ter put it as a must! ter visit. Like Ghazni fer Americans, an as fer rippin yer teef out why duz yer fink i speak like this, woz ozzie dentist did it! aint no "nashnul elf" ones ere anymore. If yer really likes a place then write to lonely plonkers ow rubbish it woz, like gorshars GH. e even asked you to! like Anafi in Greece Q: "woz it nice?" ans "no! rubbish!", but they still goes there
arry

I see this thread has deteriorated. It was a good topic. <sigh>

Anyways, getting back from the Talk Politicsish dribbling and alpha male postering...

Yes, paradises are disappearing... I had found one of the last in the South Pacific.... Samoa..... It sounds like the halcyon days are finished there too with the advent of 3 or 4 upscale resorts opening or on the drawing board this year and in the coming few... sad.

How can I feel important to myself if I cannot tell others how great I am for finding paradise.
You must see it for yourself so you can heap praises to me and worship me, and adore me and love me, and....me....me....me.....me...
