Drum Alert
Heard marching drums nearby.
Camera slung over my shoulder I rushed to the main street.
I knew it had to be some sort of parade.

Unseasonably hot February
Time to schedule annual air conditioner maintenance, clean off fans and get ready for the hot weather.
Looks like it was a short cool season.
Many parts of Thailand are expecting a drought year ahead, some reservoirs are below normal levels according to government announcements.
Farmers have been advised not to plant a second crop this year.
Regional leaders are expected to facilitate rainmaking.
To me that translates in more Bun Bang Fai Festivals than in previous years.
In the last few years the hot season was short lived.
The weather isn't the only thing getting hot in Thailand
A crackdown on entertainment venues which offer 'take-out' has been announced to begin Mid February in some major tourist cities.
And there is some pending political tension around the same time

Party Invitation
Three birthday celebrations this weekYesterdays party invitation: "Come and take plenty of pictures." The party was in a residence just a two minute drive from home.
Food catered by the M.J. Majestic Hotel was great.
Our conversations were at times in shouting pitch, trying to outshout the 'Ghetto Blaster Sound System.'
Surprisingly I knew almost all guest, including some S-BAC students.
The invitation was very specific 'you and one guest.' If you're not specific, Thais tend to invite their friends and family and may arrive by the truckload.
We did get a copy of the now famous Leo Beer 2010 Calendar. It became popular with a morality outcry. Ladies with painted on costumes, which seems to be a fashion trend.
You can see the Leo girls at the TEAK DOOR

T.i.T. Bits
Denmark retains Kings Cup
Possibly some troubled times ahead
Sky diving in Sakon Nakhon
Almost a no brainer from the start, but still very intense. The Thai team seems to be improving. Maybe next year.
Had to add extra chairs to the living room to accommodate the large crowd who gathered at my house. One guy actually brought his own beer. One out of ten over 20 year olds.
Possibly some troubled times ahead
I recommend that you read the headlines in the sidebar. Later part of February things may get a bit 'hairy.'
