Burma Bill

then at 4:00am an Italian near the same location? Perhaps avoid the area during the wee small hours!

Maybe the only driver on the street at that time which drew attention to him?

I wonder how long before paranoid Thailand mandates the marking of foreigners doors as was done during the Black Death in Medieval times.

Very much so. If I had to use the toilet in a restaurant when going for a "pony and trap", I used to tear off a few sheets from the table dispenser to use instead of the bum gun or plastic scoop in a tub of water! Before any one has a go at me for using toilet paper - it is my choice!. No further comment from me.

Thanks, my thought as well.😄 Seriously, the KOK River is a very important west to east river in the north of Thailand. It flows from the Daen Lao Range in Shan State, Burma, to join the Mekong at Chiang Saen in Chiang Rai Province (it is a tributary of the Mekong). It crosses the Thai/Burma border at Tha Ton in Chiang Mai Province (photo below). There is no proper road border check point as the main road stays within Thailand, however there is a track which has a small wooden Thai army outpost to a Burmese village. Near this outpost is a chain suspended above the river carrying both countries flags, in a mountainous section. The scenery is superb. During the dry season, the river Kok, although large, is extremely shallow and you will see fisherfolk standing in the river just above their ankles. I have visited on several occasions and I have never seen ladyboys "flashing" with handjobs!

Yes indeed. With Thailand's Health & Safety record, what possibly could go wrong? Chernobyl comes to mind!

illegal gambling???

Great news. Will we now see ads from TAT promoting gay marriage and honeymoons in Thailand? Photo taken on Phuket:

With respect, not quite true. Yes, some countries, like the UK, are trying to go cashless but here in Siem Reap (Cambodia) new banks are being constructed and existing ones being renovated. There are also several newly constructed "multi-bank" ATM kiosks around town, in fact my bank, which was recently redecorated, has just opened 2 more new ATMs in the city. Cambodia does promote digital payments but cash will be available for a long time yet. I pay in cash, especially at the local fresh produce markets where cash is "king" or by debit card in the supermarkets. So, where do I get cash from? - banks and ATMs throughout Cambodia. I do not own, or intend to own a smartphone. I cannot use them due to finger disabilities. Photo of my refurbished and redecorated bank (2023). Also note road improvement to show new pavement(sidewalk), white lines and a pedestrian crossing!

What a "coop " for the DSI!

Thanks. For reference:
