Thailand is 95% Buddhist, 4% Muslim and 1% Christian.  But Christmas is everywhere.  At the Lagoon Saloon we have a Christmas Eve party for a select few; Thai, English, Aussie, Singaporean, Russian and Welsh to name but a few.   With this ethnic mix naturally the music is Irish with the Fields of Athenry blaring out of the wide screen smart TV.  The food is to die for all thanks to hostess Nook Nic and, to a lesser extent, her son Alexander.  Most of my photographs I cannot post they are so out of focus.  I wonder why?


My Indian visa is approved.  I have booked an exciting land trip in India and have, hopefully, a second piece of excitement in India after the land trip.  But more of that later.  I will leave on the first weather window in January.  1,400 nautical miles to Kochi…
