Luang Prabang - the magic has gone (for me)
I've had a 'love affair' with Luang Prabang for decades. My first visit was in the late '80s when the roads between Vientiane and LP were too dangerous to travel on, as well as being in terrible condition of course. We flew in on a 'wet hire' Lao Aviation plane piloted by some Danish pilots. Over the years I've returned to live and work in LP, appointed to be the Headmaster/Director of the international school. Between my other teaching commitments in Myanmar, I would always return to live in LP, to swim in Kuang Si waterfall and to ride my off-road motorbike around the mountain roads. After completing my last job in Mandalay, I went back to LP for a week, but retreated back to Thailand because the 'vibe' in LP had changed, as a result of the new train line from China. The town was literally overrun with Chinese tourists, and many local shops seemed to be now managed by Chinese, and many shops only had signs in Chinese language. A few days ago, I returned again to LP, because perhaps my previous visit was a 'one-off' bad experience. No......... it's got even worst! It's no longer a magic place for me. (YMMV). Prices have increased substantially, both for house rents and food. Maybe I'm getting old (I am!!). But I think the Luang Prabang that I used to dream about is no more... 😞 -

Here's a new one
Yes money in a personal safe will pay as much interest as Thai banks these days, and you don't risk the bank going tits up. The only difference is that you can't use it for your extension at immigration.- 1

Cannabis - Medical Use Certificate - What's Your Plan?
If you live in a condo and keep weed in your apartment, I think it is a good idea to get a medical certificate. Most condos now have rules against smoking cannabis or even keeping it on the premises. If a neighbor were to file a complaint with the condo management or the police, you would at least have proof that you are a medical cannabis user. In my view, anyone who can get a certificate should do so. Things in Thailand always seem to get more complicated and involve more hassle over time, so even if the laws remain loose, it is better to be prepared for whatever comes next. -

Ukraine Ukraine Pushes for New Peace Talks Amid Ongoing Conflict
Territorially, draw a line down from Kharkov to Dnepr then down the Dniper river to the sea. The Ukrainians can keep Odessa. No Nato Membership. Europe has woken up, all can work with that. Then figure out Kaliningrad.
