Road Blocks Checking Us Out

Homer just called to remind me that its illegal here in Thailand for us not to carry our passports and that the Gestapo were stopping whitey in Sathorn checking people's paperwork.

Its also been announced that television is going to be stopped in Thailand after 12 midnite because of the high fuel charges. Now its not clear if this will affect the international channels but its yet another control that the authorities are planting on the heads of the populace.

I don't find the new laws etc as bothersome as many of my friends do but Nationalism is always a bit scary for me. Thai Rak Thai is the name of the controlling party which means 'Thais love Thais".... imagine in Enagland having the 'English love English Party'.... Xenophobic at best and would probably be illegal.

Anyway the blog musings haven't been coming recently but they do come and go. Busniness is going well thank god....keep worrying that something is gonna go wrong....
