33rd Royal Phu Phan Cup Final

Stadium was filled to over capacity crowd, as construction of seating is not completed. 

Security was extreme, I have never seen so many police gathered in one place.  
If you arrived late you were lucky to find a parking space.  
Half hour of pomp and ceremony before the game got underway.

Half time show is always the same song and dance, really wish they would come up with something different.  Best part for me was to see some friends I had not seen in a while.  I guess I was the only one who brought beer.  No hassles over that at all. I was asked: "Can I borrow a beer."

Fish dying, locals eating poisonous creatures in the face of cold NNT

"...the drop in temperature had triggered a rise of the ammonia level in water, and caged fish were dying from the excess ammonia..."

Phuket: bring your own

Previously thought to be illegal on Phuket beaches, bringing an umbrella to the beach could get you arrested and / or fined.
The rules were intended to prohibit vendors of goods, beverages, food or services (massage) on the public beach.  Tourists can rent or purchase these items before arriving at the beach and bring them to the beach
