Hi Richard,
Yes, Sangduen is my wife's name. I will begin sailing in the monthly Ocean Marina races when I get a little more organized, probably Nov. or Dec. Hope to see you there.
If anyone wants a ride I am happy to provide it. Thailand is fairly cheap. You can probably get flights from Oz or UK with hotel for a week in Pattaya for about $1,000. The flights may be inconvenient at that price (e.g., midweek and change planes). I usually fly direct on weekend to London for about $1,500. In April flights to Perth were little less. Hotels in Pattaya don't need to be more than $30 per night. Food can be about $10 per day and beer is usually about $4 for 600 ml. Of course you can spend as much as you want and Pattaya is carefully designed to separate tourists from their money with great pleasure:)
Best regards
Herb
