Today I was stunned when I went to the beach in Jomtien again: Completely empty! Not a chair or umbrella to be seen.

I hope you will take the time to read this story. A lot of wrong information is being spread, consciously or not. I have lived in Thailand for almost twenty years now, and am married to one of the two daughters of Somporn Saekhow, one of Thailand's most famous monkey trainers.
A friend of mine comes to see me on New Year's Eve. “Are you going to Thailand next summer? Then I'm coming!!" Then I was still in doubt. “I pay half of your ticket as compensation that I can stay with you and your wife in Surin.” My doubts disappeared and we delved further into it.
