THAILAND'S POLLUTION
On a recent vacation traveling to Bangkok from the south by car, the air pollution was very visible.
Maya Bay reopens to tourism
Maya Bay became famous after the DiCaprio film 'The Beach'
สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon
No swimming allowed
Personally I am not fond of mass tourism with limited do's and plenty restrictions.
Tropical storms cause damage in three Isan Provinces on March 27+28

Wot + Khaen flutes
Origin traced to Laos. Now popular Isan musical instruments.
Read somewhere that they were outlawed in Thailand in distant history around the time when Isan became part of Thailand

Take me back in ⏳ time to the sixties 🕺🏻💃🏼Tijuana Brass Hits
The band started in 1962 and was one of my favorite throughout the sixties.
I Joined the U.S. Army in 1963 at the age of 18.
Basic at Fort Ord, pole lineman school in Georgia,
then assigned to signal Battalion in Germany, duties were mostly translator, interpreter, German instructor.
After getting someone elses wife pregnant I quickly volunteered for Vietnam Combat duty.
Arrived at a Psychological Warfare detachment on new year eve. After reporting for duty I was taken to the government operated whorehouse and got laid for "one dollar."
Visited Thailand twice that year (1966).
International Airport shut down for Hubert Humphrey arrival. Had to walk the length of the runway.
Thai 'LADY' told me "worst sex she ever had," when she realized: "NO TIP."

There's a day for everything 🌏 🌏 🌏 🌏 March 23 World Meteorological Day
Up to now I've had little use of the air conditioner, couple fans kept me comfortable.
That may all change rather suddenly as temperatures and humidity start rising
Meanwhile local departments train and ready for the season
