I concur about the rumble strips. Back home you'll find them just ahead of crossings and roundabouts, ostensibly to remind you to slow down (bloody nanny state). Here (e.g. Thepprasit, Thappraya and now 3rd road) they're present in large numbers way before there's any need to slow down. Often, owing to traffic, you can't steer through the middle and avoid the really annoying rumble that can't be doing your suspension any good either. These are really useless and very annoying wastes of money for which I guess some prat in authority has earned a nice little kickback.

When the German Amazon's went up to collect their runners up medals,all of a sudden the Amazon element was missing.They just looked like a bunch of athletic girls the world over,some tall,some short some in-between.Nothing to get twisted about.

Well done ladies, they played well against other ladies. I watched this out of patriotic interest, but I'm afraid I'm clearly a dinosaur and don't take any interest in the women's game per se at all. Always good to see po-faced Germans losing though.

This morning's offerings.

Nice series of pics Blue Flag. Much appreciated!

Mobile data anyone... Puzzled why the Thai's felt the need to paint all the arrows the length of Soi Arunotai. Doubt anyone has ever confused this as a one way soi.

A few from this morning.
