If I had more money than Gates...I would be all over an Aston Martin.

Coincidentally I happened to be watching an old edition of Top Gear last night where the 3 big kids were in India. The 'British' cars they were using, an old Jag... now Indian, a RR, German, and a Mini Cooper, (BMW ?). Sad but time moves on.

So, at least 1 in 3 were no show? Not good enough for airport runs.

I don't like delivery food..... a few times the Mrs has gone to get take out when so inclined. My neighbors seem to live off it. I would still rather eat out,,, but I don't want to drive far, and even then, I like to have a couple of beers so she will have to do the drive home. Strange last night, I was expecting everywhere to be packed, so went out early...and as I drove past one large place it absolutely was... but went to another member of the same chain over the road and it never got busy.

Today's pics of our old favourite soi 15 (Buakhao/2nd Rd)... where the drainage digging was put on hold after a digger or cherry picker started a fire after hitting electrical wiring. The project has not resumed.. leaving the road passable, but a bit rough... it will be worse when it rains....but that is not thought about during the dry season. They might remember about the project when it does rain and one end floods. Can't remember which end of this road used to flood worst... I know Buakhao has always been bad, more so to the North, it used to be a swamp area. Soi 15 is popular, quite

Certainly must be part of it, it was really busy in town. And post Covid we have a population used to having food delivered... my neighbours live off it! I think fbwu has a point too....over the last 12 months I have been irritated when I do visit a restaurant, that my food seems to be taking ages, while they appear to focus more on getting the Grab orders out of the door.

Decathlon are another that want an email..... when I said I preferred not, they said it was linked to possible returns... ie no email no return! Lazada of course want phone number too and I am suspicious they are the 'source' of those dodgy (Thai language) SMS type messages with links in them offering loans and such.

I always presented it and thought I got a bit off the price of the current purchase, at least I am sure that was how it used to work... so now it became a habit. I still find a calendar next to the laptop handy.... to put a circle round some date..... I can't trust my memory these days and often the phone is somewhat distant. These discount cards are all pervading and to be honest I am fed up of being asked at Big-CX.... got one for Homepro too... my credit card has some points scheme but checking on the website it looks like I would have to use it to buy a Ferrari, to get enough points for

There are blood pressure meds there too.

I have had one of those for many years.... gets a few coppers off the bill. And I must rush there to see if I can get a desk calendar this year!

Then dig it all up and start again!

Much enjoyed as usual......

They would not be true Thai footpaths unless there was something blocking them and forcing people out into the traffic!

Jeez, poor soi dogs!

Don't drive in the gutter in town, the baht buses will get you... out of town you need to keep to the left more I have found. As to pedestrian crossings, never trust them, on any road.

A deeper red would be more suitable as the blood stains will not show... beware of using these crossings!

More relating to Expats... but useful to know.... A new Expat food suppliers shop, similar stock as one would find at the 2 Fever locations in Bong Koch area, has opened on Buakhao, North end, near Soi New Plaza, at the prior Churchills Bar location.
