Well this is a revelation. For those of nous who travel aux provinces, some more research is called for. Now I wonder about Udon, Ubon, Korat and especially Surat. We need some upcountry input. Beethoven, surely you have passed Petchburi on your way to the royal resort of Hua Hin, n'est ce pas? En passant, I wonder if anyone has had luck with the paratroopers at the palace built by Rama VI in Cha-am. Don't you love it having to go into a military camp to see a seaside palace? If you have not been there it is worth a visit. Pardonnez moi for rambling on. Give me the Thai military over the Legionnaires any day.
