At the time we visited Koh Samui the island was fairly pristine. Such islands off mainland Thailand seem not to have any planning committee for the future. At the time, we learned that islands start pristine, become full in an unpleasant, unplanned manner and then another pristine island is designated as the "in" place to visit...and so it goes.

This is a personal reminder to myself of how I used to work before the economic crash (etc,... especially etc)

WiFi for my computer. Wholesale sources nearby and further.

Swimming pool surrounded with exotic flowers.

Large TV inside but who would want to be inside? Even the private shower was outdoors a few steps away, near a gigantic partially outdoor bathtub.

Balinese food is so very excellent...and inexpensive.

Or one can choose western side-dishes such as these;

Anyway, if one has to work...this was a great way to make money until the economy went south.

Obviously business travel fueled my passion for photography, or maybe it was the other way around :)

I love watching Balinese living, having fun, being joyous.

Soccer ball appears to be a UFO on far right horizon :)

There is one hotel I stay in when I am in Jaipur.
It is quiet, has expanses of grass lawn. Polo ponies quartered in the rear. Inexpensive, even has an antique wall clock (Elgin ?)  made in the USA, (Cincinnati Ohio).
The taxi driver who would wait for customers at this hotel, an old relic of the British Empire, was the son of the Assistant Chief of Police in Jaipur. He made money through his taxi and by helping hotel guests who were on business looking for merchandise. After some visits to India he invited me to eat dinner at his father's, the family home.

One girl is applying Henna to the hand of the other. Doing business overseas can be an enriching experience. One can experience a country unlike a tourist.
