Buddhist Lent! Everywhere shut so we is out tonite!!

Well it turns out it's another Buddha day tomorrow so the Kingdom of Thailand is closed again and of course we can't buy alcohol. No big deal really for me it just means that I gotta go flop around by the pool tomorrow and hopefully get some Goating done in the afternoon. We all gotta do beer runs tonite though. These Big Brother rules just mean that we overspend and buy HEAPS of booze that we ordinarily would not consume eachtime there is a drought declared by the Gestapo.

The funny thing is though that for sure we will be able to find a watering hole tomorrow that is open and thousands of people will be consuming ANYWAY. When will they just leave us alone to spend our money and keep people in jobs???????

Also heard and read today on Metroblogging that P.M. Thaksin (Toxin as he is know to the expats) and his all powerful company Shin Corp. has been trying to slow down the development of the B.T.S. Skytrain development as it is owned by the Democrats.
Further to this Shin Corp. is now buying all the debts of the B.T.S. so will now be able to force the B.T.S to concur with what ever his meglomaniacal current desires are now. Scary all this power being thrown to so few these days huh????

So anyway we are gonna hit the town tonite and see what pics can be got. Should be a good night tonite as all the goats don't have to get up in the morning for work.

Lets hope that we survive it ok!!

How exactly do you survive in a place where virtually no one speaks English??? Unless you have an interpreter who works for you full-time?

Hi there,
I speak enough Thai to get around in situations where the Thais don't speak English like Taxis, Motorbike, Food stalls etc. Learning Thai is no more difficult than any other language although the writing looks a but tough!!!!
When at the bank or doing any business English is generally spoken.
Thanks for your comment and hope that you come back soon!

Peace!
