Ten Thailand travellers Pattaya 2011 without any doubt was one of the best holidays I have ever had. Good friends & close family made it very special indeed. Here is a whole bunch of Herds plus Bjorn  from Germany who is Michael’s other half, my two lovely nieces Laura & Elyssa and my brother Warren.

Sadly we lost Bjorn early 2016 after he fought a long battle with cancer.

2011  was frantic, two trips to Thailand in January and July before moving there permanently on October 20th. Including visits to Krabi & the River Kwai. A few days in Langkawi Malaysia with my brother Warren. Sydney twice in September and October, then 3 weeks after settling in Thailand I was off to England for 3 weeks which included a road trip from Edinburgh to Glasgow via Fort William in the north of Scotland. All this coupled with clearing out all my worldly possession from my Gold Coast home before settlement on October 11. I am weary just writing about this frantic life changing year.

What sort of uncle would expose his nieces to such a infamous sinful environment? His name is David Herd and I’m guilty as charged. ๐Ÿ™‚

LadyBoy delivery

We gave this LadyBoy 400 Baht to knock on Don’s hotel room and say “hello baby” when he opened the door. We were all hiding in the hallway trying not to laugh. After I got the photo Don sent her away. ๐Ÿ™‚

Don sadly passed away on 30th May, 2016 after a long battle with cancer, RIP buddy.
