Thailand today

I mentioned this some time ago,
expect taxes to rise in many places,
i.e. alcohol, tabaco, etc.
Government no like foreign media



They looked suspicious, so they were hauled off for a lecture




No height restrictions
Bus crashes are too frequently in Thailand
No meters, no taxes?







Most often get thumbs up and an occasional cop dancing in the street.

I've had a number of bluetooth speakers. None of them lasted for more than three month on my motorcycle. One with a weak handle lasted less than a week when it fell on the road.This one is the loudest and the handle is sturdy.  When it rains I hang a plastic bag upside down over it.The  control buttons are located within easy reach while driving. Of all speakers I've owned recently, this one was the cheapest, 550 Baht (US$ 15).

Weakening of the Thai Baht was predicted, dependent much on the strengthening of the US$

Don't stop now

After the Rain, while temperatures are still cool, it's a great time for a motorcycle road trip


Two days of tropical rains have added some water to the pond at Wat That Dum. The pond, which had been bone-dry, generally overflows during the rainy season.
I've traveled these roads many times on a motorcycle, makes for tricky driving.  At times legs outstretched to keep balanced.

The numbers game




I  am about 3/4 finished sorting editing and uploading pictures.  Still a way to go.



Not quite sure how to define "shared with me. Could be the number of visitors to my  blog?




The playlist needs some serious editing
