Bishop, bored with monkey show, joins locals for cock fight TV. Between fights, locals go crazy placing their bets. Lots of yelling and screaming.... money flying to and fro. Ko Samui, Thailand.

Cock fights illegal in US. Killing off pre born and NFLers dying 20 years early from brain tumors OK

Koh Samui is a vacation spot island. Lots of tattooed western men with colored hair riding around on motorbikes, with cute local girls riding pillion.

Sister island to Phuket, one and a half hour ferry ride away.

David and Victoria Beckham own a $10MM house here.

Interesting stop. Been to Thailand before, but Ko Samui and Chiang Mai were new places for me.

PS. Power lines in image indicative of Thailand's continuing status as a "developing" country.

I thought of you as I cruised down the easy blue and empty slopes. Spectacular seemingly "private" runs!! I asked mike if I could stay back it was so good. He vetoed that idea and I am in New York which is also fabulous and the rain has ruined the snow says my neighbor. Interesting story on your encounter with the Dalai Lama.
