its also rather refreshing to get 1stb hand info from Dodger regarding the fishing boat staffing issues...too often its hearsay...now i may not be right but i get the impression that the lower class (and I mean that in a kind way) Thai culture turn a blind eye to the ways in which one has to earn a living, people back home in the god forsaken villages are happy to believe that "boy next door" is in Pattaya employed as a waiter...as long as the money keeps flowing back home...
