I do believe that the police announced that they had your statement. You don't have to worry as they want this to quite down asap and hope that the public will forget about it .

If you're still in Malaysia while waiting for Trudy to be ship to India, I suggest you take a one day tour of Pulau Ketam, a beautiful fishing village island near Port Klang. You can take the boat from Port Klang.

The crocodiles that you passed were on the outskirts of Phichit where I've been living for a good few years now it's also known as Changwat Chalawaan. Also where Paddy got his train from back to Bangkok. Safe travels 🙏🏻

Marianne is a top notch endurance driver. Hats off.

Good luck hope your plans go smoothly.

Starts early the next day Arrives in Sadaoo in the late afternoon Then crosses the border on day three in the morning. The negative is that that road is so boring.
