Took a little trip to Tha Rae

The world can't even agree on Daylight Savings Time

Most American countries changed to Daylight savings time on 9 March.

In Europe that's happening this coming Sunday, 30 March.

The rule 'Spring ahead, Fall back' didn't seem to apply in Thailand.
Before daylight savings time I watched the evening news (6 pm) at six in the morning.
Now with daylight savings time I watch the news at five in the morning

Shack Shop


A number of complaints have been noted that the Shack Shop is difficult to finds due to lack of signage.
An immediate remedy has been promised.  Had not been there in quite a while, so I almost also missed it, had it not been that I spotted a familiar face.

Till the sign is in place look for the road sign as seen from the shop's entrance

Windstorm damaged Stupa repair underway

There's probably some reasonable explanation to my questions.
Why they stood around all day in discussions and poses and did the job in the cover of darkness.
  • Possibly it's of some Buddhist significance? I remember the house blessing, the first pillar was erected at a precise time
  • Or possibly they had to wait for the dignitaries to arrive
