Mutant bugs and girly screams



A bloody long drive, creepy crawlies, constant rain and cheating rummi card players is what to expect at The Plantation - Pat and Noi's private getaway in the Southern seaside province of Chumporn. Add to that list: mutant fish that will attack your face without warning, shards of broken glass, a pack of wild angry dogs, strangely aerated water and evil flying nocturnal moths that inhabit the acreage. Are you keen to visit?

Well actually, I've started with a fairly dark and nasty picture haven't I? But that's what I've been instructed to do, the last thing that Pat needs is a barrage of people hinting for invites to his intimate private beach. So, aside from the private beach, the rustic charm of the bungalow accomodation, the wonderful scenic view from the bathroom, the constant flow of exquisite imported red wine, the delectable offerings of the fruits of the season, the calm and cool surroundings of the coconut trees, the refreshing aromas of the frangipannis and the warmth of the company you will find there - it's only ok.... I mean, it is a long drive
