It's memories now

Sakon Nakhon

Print and mail Monday

I'd been procrastinating filing my tax return just to get a $50 refund...  

When to File

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien residing overseas, or are in the military on duty outside the U.S., on the regular due date of your return, you are allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file your return and pay any amount due without requesting an extension. 
For a calendar year return, the automatic 2-month extension is to June 15. 
If you qualify for this 2-month extension, penalties for paying any tax late are assessed from the 2-month extended due date of the payment (June 15 for calendar year taxpayers). However, even if you are allowed an extension, you will have to pay interest on any tax not paid by the regular due date of your return (April 15 for calendar year taxpayers).

To enjoy simply add water


Have 240 minutes (4 Hours) of video to scan through. Plus whatever comes today, the final day of Sakon Nakhon Songkran

On the first day of Songkran I take an early morning cruise before the water revelers are ready


Observed the construction process over a number of years

Texting in the bag



Waterproofing is the word of the day, for the next three days in Thailand for all electronic devices.

This mobile phone case is ideal. You don't need to take the phone out of the case to make a call.

The clear plastic even lets you take clear pictures as long as there are no waterdrops in front of the lens.

If you don't have 'protection' for your mobile and it does get wet.  For heavens sake don't turn it on to see if it's still functioning.

Take off the cover, remove the battery, use paper towels to remove most of the water then place it into a bag of uncooked rice for two to three days
