How about now?

^^ We occasionally see them here, but not as often as in years gone by. I remember trying to catch one that came in the house. It climbed all over and in and out of the furniture. Hopefully the nests will be OK. The wood swallows have at least one hatchling. Also there's a bulbul nest (haven't been ...

Today I received a further four speeding tickets for the same section of Phetkasem Road where there is a recent 80 kph limit south of Hua Hin. If I was in the UK I probably would have lost my driving license by now - is there anything similar here in Thailand where they tot up the tickets? What is ...

We've seen the oil giants control prices for years. Will it not be human nature to see similar controls put on the mining of lithium? There a...

Guess the police hospital 14th floor wasn't available.

Dark Matter I've just started the second of 3 seasons (13 episodes each) of this excellent (IMO) sci-fi show. Note the date as another sci-fi series of the same name has recently started on Apple TV+. Six people wake up on a spaceship in the farthest corner of space with their memories wiped off. H...

Wonder why only 2 fixed dates for registration at Hua Hin, but any normal working day at Takiab.
