Peace at last.
Long weekend: Done Asean Conference: Almost done and then cancelled and replaced with riots. Trip to in-laws: Deferred Songkran: Done
After a couple of weeks of assorted mayhem, peace has returned to the streets of Pattaya. Driving around this morning, people were cleaning up from the Songkran party and life was returning to normal. And now we head into the low season as far as tourists are concerned, which may be bad for the tourist industry, but very pleasant for those of us who reside here.
Yesterday was the Songkran party day in Pattaya and, armed with my new waterproof camera, I had intended to head out and take some shots. But after a lazy afternoon on the sofa watching a cloud of spray which was meant to be the Chinese Grand Prix, I just couldn’t be bothered going out and getting wet. So here is “one I took earlier.”
And yes, she is a he.
Instead I took the camera down to the pool and amused myself making videos of a swimming she who must be obeyed. It works very well, above and below water, but I am not allowed to share any of the resulting video under pain of death. So you will have to make do with some more Songkran shots.

Can you bring that day forward to now so that your readership can view/enjoy/lust after the swimming video? Don’t be such a tease! Sharing the pictures with your jealous admirers may require the ultimate sacrifce on your behalf but consider the global joy thereby created.
2009-04-22| Jock saysIndoors is the best place to be during Songkran .. enjoyable as it was back in 2006 I ended up in hospital with a bad case of ‘Red Eye’ … no not due to the amount of alcohol consumed but by the dirty water that gets thrown around during the festivities … 3 weeks later, a few hundred bhat and a bit of pain and the conjunctivitis had cleared .. not very pleasant … you have been warned …
