Recently retold an old experience to some friends about an overloaded truck many years ago.

Bangkok Fruit and Vegetable Market 1989


Fruit and vegetable prices in Bangkok seemed double the price what they were going for in Isaan

Coffee, Tea, Soda or Chocolate?

I generally eat some chocolate around mid afternoon.
I always thought that I was having chocolate because of its health benefits.  
Turns out it is more likely an afternoon energy boost that keeps me eating it every afternoon

Milk in chocolate negates the benefits of dark chocolate.

Live Coverage of the Bangkok Demonstrations have been on Thai TV since early this morning.
So far seemingly peaceful and disruptive to traffic.  But not traffic stopping.
Persons who must get around should consider Bangkok's BTS or MRT


Thailand-Tip
The red-shirt leader from Udon Thani, Mr. Kwanchai Praipana (Sarakham) has asked RED Shirt fans each to donate one Baht. He wants to raise a bounty for the arrest of anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban.

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?
