The $500 LV bag..The Rest of the Story

I contacted "Fashionphile" about the bag and they said they would sell it for Gee, I was so excited for her! I was concerned it wasn't in good enough condition to be sold on their e-bay site. They are just about done auctioning it off, and right now it is a bit over $500. I am so happy for her. She told me she was praying about it every day, and that she's never had $500 (20,000 Baht) in her hand before. When I told her that "Fashionphile" agreed to sell it, and even mentioned they would be willing to reconsider the 30% fee, she could hardly believe it. Her uncle had told her just the other day that she had been scammed by the farang (westerner.)

We flew to Chiang Mai with no inkling that the beautiful new airport we transferred at in Bangkok would be seiged by protesters just a few days later. At our conference we realized that we were not going to be flying back. The alternatives were train, bus, rent a car or rent a mini-van with a driver. Being economical we chose the train or bus, and in the end, due to scheduling, it had to be the bus. It would be a grueling 20+ hour trip home, but we weren't overly concerned because Thailand has beautiful VIP buses that are really nice to ride in. Unfortunately ther...

Red-Necked Keelback Snake

This is our "snake of the month," this time just a few steps from our kitchen door. I found it Monday afternoon, a strange pattern unlike the grass surrounding it. I yelled for the kids and our guest to go upstairs, handed them the dogs, and got my cell-phone and snake book. Kennedy, Trevor (Dean's intern) and a handyman all came to help, and the Thai handyman killed it. It was a very pretty snake, I'll upload a picture later. It is venomous, with rear-fangs. Most keelback snakes are not venomous, (we just got lucky?)
