Where was Larry? - Round #7 Mr. Greaves is our winner. How it's done...... "I was looking at your website at lunch today, and if I understand correctly that you have invited a "Where's Larry" guess no. 7 in your gallery pictures, I think I know where you may be - Chaing Mai, Thailand. From your picture with the advertisement for Charlie's English Fish & Chips, I googled "Charlies English fish and chips in Thailand." This website came up: website. Comparing the phone number on the website to the phone number on the advertisement in your pictures, this seems to be the place." Where was Larry? - Round #6 Clue #1: I was here.
