Thanks so much Hitman!!! It's still super here....BUT....we're forced to move out of our $240 a month apartment as it's being changed to a hotel...so we decided to look for another apartment or small house to rent in the $275-$300 mo. range beginning next week. We'll spend about 6 wks in a small town 3 1/2 hours drive from Bangkok. Looking forward to the quiet and cleaner air, plus no relentless traffic jams...hehe!! Cheers and best always to you my friend! tuna
