Hushamwari vanhu vekumaruwa vakapfeka hembe dzechinyakare nenyemwerero inogara iripo. Kana kuti waona nyoka yakarara munzira?Mhuka idzi dzakabonderanawo nemazuva ano dzikafa dzakawanda nekuda kwekuwanda kwemota.

Kunyangwe rudzi rwesevhisi yetekisi, kutakura marori asi mutsvuku kuti uone mutsauko neBlue Pattayan taxis. Uye ivo zvino vanodzorawo traffic yese panguva yekumhanya. MaPubs akaonekwa akawanda, mazhinji akanyangarika nekukurumidza. Imwe 'brown cafe' yakatouya. Iyo Lucky Time bar. Dutch kuburikidza nekupfuura, hotera, resitorendi uye cafe.

Makore ekutanga mutsika yeThai, pasina mahwindo nemagonhi, kudzamara muridzi afunga kuishandura kuita bhizinesi remhepo.
