25681105 ลอยกระทง / Loy Krathong.
My partner made this กระทง / krathong, and we floated it on the pond we visit on our sunset walks. Make a wish! Let those negative thoughts float away.

Death Race 2025.
Remember the David Carradine (of Kung Fu fame) movie Death Race 2000? I don't, but I do remember the title. And that is what I thought about when I decided to ride my little Yamaha Exciter 155 from โคราช / Korat to บุรีรัมย์ / Buriram. It's about 125 km. It took about two hours plus each way.
The weather was unusually good. It was not hot, which is extremely rare here. The ride itself was not fun. The scenery was not great. The danger factor was extraordinarily high. But I had to do it, and I did, and I survived--again. I have no idea why, throughout my life, I have presented myself with these kinds of stupid challenges.
The best thing to come out of completing this challenge is that I have no desire to ever do this kind of distance again on my little Yamaha. I guess I'm glad I got it out of my system. If you're ever in บุรีรัมย์ / Buriram, I can recommend the french fries at the Afrika Bar & Restaurant.

Upper Wolhwa Walking Street is nice. Tourists love it, and I've got a favorite old school restaurant there.
