Isn't it ironic that as the Thais are getting rid of their year long built up resentment at farang , the farang are lapping it all up with a smile on their face. I'm talking about places like Khao San Road and Pattaya where they hate farang but grudging smile (and more) just to get their cash. What a clever idea turning Sonogram into an aggressive festival.

I blame the foreigners for this, not the Thais.

$50+ to have the lenses polished 15 years ago is probably closer to $100 now, and it's damned annoying when I asked the fool not to do it, time and again.

yeah them, especially after you pleaded with them to stop whilst you put your camera away.

Absolutely hate it.

However, If people enjoy it, please let them have fun.

I presume you don't have to drive during the holiday?

correct.

It is a world apart from the quite humbling experience (in my view) of watching family members respect their parents/elders by washing feet and gently applying a little powder to the face.

Those were the days.
