Gary's Bar at least had everything you could possibly need.<br /><br />I telephoned Wilai yesterday evening (Thai time) and the village was blacked out by the same storm that had hit Ban Dung. Wilai's village is only about 30 clicks away, near Sang Khom.<br /><br />I hope the weather improves and when the rain does come it's a little milder than yesterday. Failing that then take a whole load of baht with you and bed down in Gary's bar for a few days.<br /><br />When it happens, have a safe trip down south and keep up the posts, I'm enjoying reading them.martynhttp://www.thaisabai.orgnoreply@blogger.com
