That's gotta be COLD !!

Sorry, but I no like karaoke.



  After three balmy summer like days, temperatures dropped quickly after midnight last night into the low teens (Celsius).
Expect another cool night, followed by a slight warming trend till midweek.
After that expect a slow and extended downhill ride on the temperature roller-coaster.
No rain in the extended forecast in the area.




I declined attending a Thai family birthday celebration for medical reasons last night (recovering from eye surgery).  It was a karaoke joint.  Sorry, but I no like karaoke.  

From pictures of the party it seemed like fun, but was it a birthday party or a texting gathering?

Plan Ahead if your travel plans include Bangkok

Even though there are reports that demonstrators have promissed not to shut down the airport, it's advisable to travel throught Bangkok before January 13.

According to Thai PBS, the demonstrators will be closing down 20 key intersection in Bangkok.

Traveling to and from the airport by vehicle most likely will be severely hindered, if not impossible

Buddha Rescheduled in Thailand

Update: Reschedule cancelled

Loy Krathong gets go-ahead from govt


The Tourism Authority of Thailand has announced that it will postpone its annual celebrations for the Loy Krathong festival in honour of the late Supreme Patriarch Nyanasamvara Suvaddhana.

Loi Krathong festivities delayed


Makes no sense to me

After all, Loi Krathong is in honor of Buddha  
Would Buddha really mind if we included the recently deceased monk head with the same reverence.

Then there is a matter of seniority!! 
Buddha is getting rescheduled??
