Golden Cock, I recall! Very sticky...

Straight is a very elastic term!

I suspect that those walls do talk!

Problem with a sofa is that they can get rather sticky!

The traditional plea used to be that the family buffalo had died! I have used a guide from Siam Roads, Mac, who is very good. He was clearly short of money, broken down trainers, etc, but would not let me buy him a new pair! A different approach, and I really admired him. I gave him a good tip, but that was a struggle, too.

Second from the right, smaller guy!

Good looking bunch!

Me too, it's a blessed relief!

The Land of Smiles has some very unpleasant sides to it.

The doctor is said to have the qualification 'DO'. Not one I've heard of. A prize for the most original suggestions for the initials?

Are rickshaws still available?

So long as he can make it down the soi!

Prefer front view!

Strange prison that Thaksin is in, luxurious house, plus playing golf! Interesting, bearing in mind my comments above.

Yes, I was thinking that. There seems to be a feeling that Thaksin is getting too big for his boots, and there could be another crackdown. He still has one outstanding offence open. I suppose it depends on what deal he has done with the army, and he who cannot be named.

Well pointed out re 'kingdom'!

The words 'Banana Republic' come to mind! Although Thaksin was indeed popular, he was also a crook. However, I suppose that merely qualified him for high office in Thailand!

That's a lot better than UK. Interesting to me as I thought that the US was very poor on social benefits.

That's some large social security payment. In UK state pension is around $15,000pa

What a surprise, Thaksin still controls things! I see he 'gave orders', during the meeting. Just as well he doesn't lack integrity!

Yes, must try harder!

As I said somewhere else, many a true word spoken in jest!

It would seem he doesn't spend much on sex!

First removing his pith helmet.

As Sartre said, 'Hell is other people'!
