Meeting the local "BOSS"

Even though the US Charge D'Affair was the main act,  the opening act "the security" seemed to be more impressive.  Upon my arrival I was politely told not to park in the "ViP" zone. I was politely guided to an authorized parking area. At this point I experienced mechanical problems with my motorcycle. The officer then proceeded to assist me by kick starting the vehicle and parking it for me Motorcycle Cam Meeting the local "BOSS" was a bit of a thrill US Charge D'Affair visited Sakon Nakhon to attend to USAID projects pertaining to climate change
