I disagree.The amount of money that comes into the Thai economy compared to the aggravation these millions of budget tourists is not a reasonable return. It's miserable for them and everyone else. And clearly the Thai government agrees too so.....

Commeth the hour, commeth the man. Tomorrow, the great day, is almost upon us.

Smiles, you are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we, the Sawatdee Network members have striven these many months. The eyes of the forum are upon you. Rest assured that the hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is not well trained, or well equipped, but will be battle-hardened. You will need to fight savagely, if need be, to secure a life jacket should Boaty McBoatface perchance happen upon the rocks or inclement weather such as rough, rogue or even rouge waves.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in getting up on time and securing a seat with a view. We, the membership, will accept nothing less than full victory and completion of the return journey between Hua Hin and Pattaya.

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Oh fuck off.
"Commeth"??
I'm not going ... more important things have arisen. I guess someone else will have to guinea-pig this adventure because it looks now that my sailing will have to be, not a first, but more likely a thirty-first.
Now of course, I wish I had not presented myself as a Christoper Columbus or a Magellan. Apologies.

Commeth the hour . . .

. . . departeth the man!

Come on, Jelly old boy. Time for you to step in to the rescue.
