Took the dog for his walk tonight, little parties starting up all over the village causing me to politely decline drinks at every second or third house.

When I got to the main road I noticed an unusual figure standing in the middle of the road next to a flashing red light.

He/it was a police uniform, complete with boots and gloves and topped with a capped paper mache head; all stuffed with news paper and obviously a few skeletal sticks to keep him upright. He even had a pair of sunnys on and stood proudly with one hand upraised.

He had obviously been allotted the vital duty of keeping traffic at it's correct speed while the human police made sure that the parties were conducted with suitable decorum.

:D

JEEZ I LOVE THAILAND!

Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year everyone.

That trick works, many towns in the US have great success with it, you see the "cop" and slow down, by the time you realise its a fake you are already slowed down.

Yeah, they have fiberglass half-policemen at the permanent checkpoints here but this was so obviously home made it mad me laugh.

got a photo?

Sorry mate, my camera died and after a suitable period of mourning I've been looking around for a new one.

I missed some great shots last year, including a car cover that included an extension for the aerial, obviously because they couldn't get it to retract!

We've heard of the sad demise of that camera more than once. Anybody got a replacement to donate to Scea, as he keep seeing all these amazing wonders. Or, are they better left to our imaginations!

I've thought for a long time see the world differently to most other people.

Loads of these now in Bangkok. They get me every time.

problem is, they can't catch a drunk driver....

They're seriously undermanned.

The vital work of checking motorcyclists licenses must come first!
