Kan Win Kan I have been to Kanchanburi many times I guess that is where you live but I guess it is the same all over Thailand not just Ratchaburi. Tell me where is not a lot of water in Thailand ? Every home has a pool or fish pond and so on and what about all the rice fields ? No Mosquitoes ? Get real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
