Nope! It ain't me lol. I don't have the funds for an air boat, or the need for one. That is a DIY, one shot blow the leaves and everything else off the lawn.

I had neighbors that had 2 or 3 of them, and several swamp buggies as well. All home made. Most swamp buggies had treads with the engine 4'-5' up, and a platform another 2' above the engine.

They weren't fast, but they could easily trek through the the South Florida swamps in relative comfort. High enough to go through the bogs, above the saw grass and most bugs... and man there were a LOT of BUGS! Swarms of Mosquitos!

My parents had a house on Marco Island, FL and we went to the Everglades and went on a couple different swamp buggies rides. One ride went out to an island called monkey island and as you'd guess it was loaded with wild monkeys. As the airboat was coasting in you could see all the monkeys coming towards the shore, there were tons of them. lol We stopped several feet away and then threw fruit to them which was pretty cool.

After that there was an alligator farm close by which we went to and they had some baby ones with their mouths closed by rubber bands and you could hold them and take pictures. I've got a couple pics (way before smartphones) holding one but my girlfriend at that time was having no part of that. lol

I was sea kayaking in Thailand once with my wife; one of those tourist day trips, where you could paddle out to James Bond Island (Scaramanga's Lair from The Man with the Golden Gun) and other similar islands.
Coming up to one of them, a monkey jumps onto the kayak between us, and starts trying to get into our dry bag. So now, I'm simultaneously trying to get this little bugger away from my wife, the dry bag and, ultimately, off the boat while also trying to keep us from tipping over because she's absolutely freaking out, and trying to keep up with the rest of the group. Somehow, I was actually successful. An interesting experience that we still get to chuckle about many years later.

I definitely wont be telling Annie this story. lol

I'm trying to plan a trip to Thailand now and was hoping to do it next year but it might have to be the following year. I've been watching a ton of videos and I have a good customer back in Goodyear who travels there for work several times a year. He loves it so much they've been vacationing there too and told me to get in touch with him for more info. If possible I'd like to spend a month there and traveling to the different cities and the islands. We talked to several people while we were in Sedona who've been there and they all loved it and one guy loved it so much he's been back 14 times in the last couple years.

I stopped there in the Navy and of course we did bar hopping. My friend hot the crap smacked out of him by a monkey in the bar. One of the funniest things I ever saw. Just tell her there's lots of wild life there to appreciate, including some of the humans.
