Thankyou Phum, nice to hear from you and Thankyou for your thoughts. Appreciate your offer to help and look forward to meet my lovely friend. It's always good to have someone who knows the area. I did view those beautiful pictures of the national park,and looks like a nice place to visit. I leave for Arizona this Sunday and will arrive Bangkok Jan. 2 . Will visit with my friend and his wife for a few days then Pataya to meet my other friend. My plans are flexible and can change easily so could meet you whenever is suitable for you.....Bangkok is a fun and exciting city but also looking forward to seeing more of the natural beauty of the south....have fun on your adventure and see you soon....always enjoy seeing your photos....Jubjub ....Dave , more later....
