Just took off from Hua Hin...no time for gaining altitude I think....

Twin Otters are generally the work horses of mountainous regions.....they do glide...depending on altitude of course

Never seen so many rear end smashes into parked trucks, as here in Thailand. Every week at least one or more that are actually reported.

The idiots never stop being idiots!

An excavator on the back of a semi is normal....that's how they're moved! The cabling in Thailand is abysmal...always opting for the cheapest way to do things....and the stupid concrete poles so often, just break!

Always have to have Mom or Daddy there with them.....a little bit of "do you know my father"! The story is a typical one of not my fault.....always the victims!

"concerning irregularities in procurement processes." A common practice here....over costing tenders...patronage contracts...funds allocation.....they just can't resist as it's so easy!

Teenagers seem well armed here in Thailand....and yet we have roadblocks on highways looking for whatever!

If a hi-so takes a foreigner to court over some minor issue that may have offended the person.....the foreigner will not win. This case is an example....and Mr Swiss will not be allowed to win!

Ok...so important people, senator/s maybe, have had their names and signatures forged.....of course they have!

Obviously local elected officials knew of this as it was being built and as usual, did nothing! They know the developer....they obviously allowed this to proceed and should be bought to account......but of course, a few complaining locals mean nothing....maybe with pressure, local MP Sawangchit Laoharojanaphan, might do something. Loading this much fill on to what is almost classed as swamp land, creates massive issues and will in effect, compress the land are raise water levels...which seems to be happening.

The investigative circle will come up with deceit, fraud, corruption, forgery, bribery....and probably a few more crooked dealings....but will a big name be involved?

Riding a scooter in Soi 6....in the middle of Songkran...and expecting not to be soaked? Victim blaming?

And we all wonder why the drivers can't see parked trucks on the side of the road!

Bingo!! Big win for the cops! Wonder if they'll share any of it?
