Oh no she didn't say that !!

The English lesson was body parts.

Oh no she didn't say that! Roaring laughter.   I went on ...middle finger... ring finger...

Trust me those words are not from my lesson plan

Thai elections are approaching

All I can say:  "It's going to be interesting."

On a recent day trip to Amnat Town I noticed groups of people placing election posters along the highway.  Quite a few of them.
On the return trip I noticed most of these posters were either partially damaged, or totally demolished.  Mind you it was not in Sakon Province.

The following day, Thai TV carried news stories of election posters being vandalized elsewhere in Thailand.

Sakon province drivers have been advised to use extra caution, as many of these signs obscure traffic vision.

Reminds me of the fact that the majority of Thai temples refuse to cremate foreigners (non-Buddhists).
