Bunbury, Australia After months in the North Arabian Sea, COOK made its first in a series of port visits on June 29 to the small, friendly town of Bun- bury, Western Australia. We spent a week here and were visited by the mayor and anx- iously welcomed by the towns people. Bun- bury is a major seaport in the Southwest with a population of 25,000 g an area rich in timber, minerals and fertile agriculture. Nearby Perth, just two hours by car, provided the crew with all the sights of city life in Australia. Many families visited the ship and took crew members on tours of the Southwest Region. The town favorably remembered COOK from our last visit two years ago, when we helped put out a pier fire. The gracious hospitality and beautiful surroundings made Bunbury the most enjoyable port visit of the cruise. 52

Pattaya Beach, Thailand Surrounded by Burma, Laos, Kampu- chea, and Malaysia, Thailand has emerged as one of the more heavily traveled tourist spots in Asia. Known for centuries as Siam, Thai- 1and's mysterious allure is becoming more widespread as she opens her previously heav- ily guarded doors to the world. COOK visited the southern resort of Pattaya Beach from 15- 18 July, giving the crew a chance to enjoy the surf, parasailing, and other beach activities. Tours to the world famous capital of Bangkok gave us a taste of Thai culture and history, with its many amazing temples and dazzling night-life. Given all there was to see and do, the crew agreed that the glorious kingdom of Thailand is in a class of its own. i, fi, gd,-'f' NX 1 , 1 'QW '. 7' -VM Jw -.
