I'm so happy for your reset experience at the Paradise Bungalow!

I was going to say, "If only you could put that feeling of freedom and openness in a bottle ..."

And that's just what you did with your beautiful description!

Thank you. 🙂

What a beautiful place!

Thank you so much, Rich. I sincerely appreciate that.

A great piece of writing!

OK, I'm sold. Next year, for sure.

With that view, I can imagine maintaining an enlightened state .. and feeling friendly and forgiving.

What a beautiful place! Sorry about the ants and the mean dog. I’m glad the dog didn’t attack you! He was probably just guarding the temple. I had a similar encounter at a temple in Taiwan.

Patient and Perky make a nice pair!

Makes me smile with curiosity.

Beach artists!!

Any chance you recorded that sound of baby dinosaurs hatching?

I'm very interested in hearing it!!

Bruce's contention that Asians can't make pizza is nonsense. But what IS true is that proper ingredients are difficult to obtain. Cheese, wheat flour, and olive oil are sold at the large Lotus' stores (formerly Tesco Lotus) which are only in bigger towns, and are very expensive. When pizza sellers start substituting rice flour for wheat, leaving off the cheese, putting chili sauce on instead of marinara, well. You can imagine the results. The German gal went to Lotus' and all of us chipped in for the spendy ingredients. Ovens are rare as well, Maleewan had a small oven so our 12-inch delicious pizzas came out out one by one at 15-minute intervals.

This makes me wonder .. what type of cheese can you buy there if you want to make pizza?

What kind of cheese did the German woman use to make pizza at the memorably cool guest house?

Pure anomaly

Wow! What an amazing variety of flowers!
