So this is something that I would not like to happen to me. But this is a short film which indicates what happens when a phone is stolen. Maybe it is not real - who knows?
but interesting...

Instagram can tell us where to go next (App)
Instagram can tell you where you want to go next so Krabi and Railay Beach looks good.
Then Wat Huay Pla Kung gave me a better location - looking at Instagram again as an App.
Then there was this one - Koh Tao Island.
Or it shares with others where you have been.
Comics and Coffee - a different mix
Saturday in Bangkok (at work) and I chose to visit the Comic Convention at Siam Paragon and then seek out a new coffee shop - Blue Dye Coffee on Sukumvit 36.
It was entertaining trying to work out the Sky Train (coming later) but I purchased a Rabbit Card.
My first stop was the comic convention - which was on the top floor and I did feel as if I was the oldest person there (which was probably right).
Not many people dressed up as their hero.
Did you collect 'Superhero Cards?' - well they were doing some serious swapping outside... The queue was too long so I chose to get back on the Sky Train to the coffee show.
What a beautiful building! But they were not ready yet - certainly a very photogenic place but no coffee so no review yet - coming here.
So saw a sweet potato looking delicious.
Then found a restaurant...
Sign your credit card before shopping
With the new technology many people are not actually singing their Credit Cards any longer - which I understand BUT if you come to Thailand there are some places which will not accept your card unless you have signed it...
A proposal - 5 years later
Brian came to me to help set up something special for him to ask his then girlfriend Ashleigh to marry him. So I did and she did.
Then 5 years later I receive the loveliest note on Instagram from Brian.
It is lovely to be part of things that were special to them...
Thank you.
Happy Easter
Today was a special day for us.
It was an excuse to eat as much chocolate as we could find.
I hid a few eggs cards in the garden and when it was time off they went to find them.
Every find was chocolate eggs and jelly babies - unless I had eaten them first!
Happy Easter.
A lost passport needs an ETD
So keep all your documents safe.
Get an ETD application form before you leave?
Make a photocopy of all those documents?
DO NOT give your passport as a deposit for anything...
Enjoy your holiday in Thailand
Songkran 2017
Water Festival 2017
Date: Apr 13-16
Price: Free
Location: Various temples and malls along the Chao Phraya River
Now in its third year, The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s four-day festival returns to save the cultural roots of Songkran, inviting people to spend a family day out at seven riverside destinations to make merit and hang out by the river.
Participating temples include Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaram (Wat Arun), Wat Kalayanamitra, Wat Phra Chetuphon (Wat Pho) and Wat Prayurawongsawas. Expect to find many traditional activities at each temple, ranging from merit-making for the new year to traditional dance performances. It’ll all be set up in a temple fair atmosphere, complete with food booths and carnival games.
On top of this, riverside community malls Tha Maharaj, Asiatique and Yodpiman River Walk are joining in on the fun with a series of concerts, fun games and plenty of shopping and dining stalls.
Easy transport access is also guaranteed in the form of free boat shuttles to the participating venues from seven piers, including Tha Tien, Yodpiman River Pier, Tha Maharaj, Wat Arun Pier, Asiatique Pier, Wat Kalaya Pier and Wat Prayoon Pier. Do note these only run from 9am-6pm.

What time and what Thai Food?
Apparently you can tell the time of day and what people will be eating.
Not that I have ever noticed!

Stand up for the National Anthem
This is at the Local market in Phuket Old Town.
This also happens in the cinema and everyone is expected to stand up - usually before the main feature.
Respect In Thailand is important
Sometimes it is easy to forget how special Thailand is. Here is an area of land near to where I work. I wish that I could remember what it was - a 'club' perhaps.
Anyway the land has been cleared for development.
But the shrine in the corner has not been touched, everywhere there are
reminders of this...
