Three more nights I passed the area and the rotting rat remained in plain sight. Its skeleton is possibly still there ?

Looks like The THaiger is not fond of Patts

What’s the bid deal regarding gambling ?    The real crime is the trashing of the beaches and it’s effects on the environment. Our world has become a cess pool because keeping tourist and reckless Thais happily spending, has become a priority.   SHAME !
