To the left, a fancy hotel and Buddha temple outside Ao Nang. To the right, a detail of the hotel roof.
	Chusak's fancy car, A nice house on the side of the road.
	The sparse forest at the road side. Chusak and his dad Papa.
	Martin and Papa Chusak. Fish ready for the barbeque. Nice ones.
	Papa Chusak's cat among eight. Chusak outside his humble home in the forest.
	The road leading up to Chusak's humble home. Nice rock formation outside Chusak's home. Pity the view don't feed him.
	At Gillham's Fishing Resort outside Krabi. A lovely place for passionate anglers. You get a big one here, guaranteed. But at a price. The bungalows at THB 3000 (€ 80,-) a night and at THB 5000 (€ 120,-) for a days angling. Part of the pub area.
	The backyard of Gillham's Fishing Resort. It is very nice and posh in a glaring contrast to the Thai houses like Chusak's. Martin and the big UK angler himself, Stuart Gillham.
	Martin and Stuart having a friendly chat. If you have the love for angling, this is the place for you. Another view of Stuart place. He had his son and daughter for a pre Christmas visit just now.
	The lovely flowers of Thailand. The red flowers of the bush outside a wealthy home in the area.
	A lovely yellow bush. A local home, a far cry from the Gillham's.
	One of the fish farms that Stuart uses to breed his big fishes for his resort. Another view of the pond of the fish farm.
	At Sea Kayak, you can rent them and use them at your own peril. Hard work a youngster told Martin. A view from the kayak area towards the sea. The typical islands of Thailand in the background.
	Big urns used to collect water. The urn seen from a distance. They are big. Some 150 centimeters high.
	The water collection system for the urns. On the way back, this is where they dry shrimps for the fish farms. Lovely view and a hellish smell.
	Back at  Gillham's Fishing Resort, Martin  watched the pool table. One of the locals at the table. Mike and Joe had a go at it. Here is Mike performing his victory dance. Very happy winner.
	Martin and Joe had a go at it. It is some 40 years since Martin last time played billiard during his student years in the 60-ties. Martin bought Chusak, aka Rak an English course. Next year, Martin will pop in and check out his progression.
	The course salesman, Noppadol proudly holding up the course. The present to Chusak, here seen in the bag and his signature and promise.
	Chusak's promise that says he will learn English and teach his sons English. Will he keep his promise? Time will show. Then we stopped at Sattha Kuasang restaurant. A lovely loo.
	Martin was there the day before and the staff knew what Martin wanted. Long Tom beers in a cooler. A very nice touch. You can phone this lovely restaurant at +66 81 0822 810 or +66 86 747 2383. The beer in the cooler, Martin's way.
	These are the leftovers from another meal. Fresh water snails. It's very good and tasty. Martin and Chusak's meal. Martin couldn't take Chusak's hot stuff, but the omelet was nice.
	This meal with two beers and a bottle of water was THB 270,- or less than € 10,-. That's cheap. Try it if you're in these parts of the woods. Fresh water crabs. They are more expensive.
	Live salt water crabs and lobsters. The white stuff is salt to keep the animals alive before serving. Martin didn't try these, but will next time around.

The next day, Saturday December 13^th, it was time for Mam aka Arisara Parnklib to visit Martin.
