A very large snail carrying a very large shell on his back.
Apparently, I live on 2/3 Street.

Storks or cranes? I'm going with cranes until a birder shows up to help me.

Perhaps I melted to death and was reborn into this new, cooler world.

The beautiful restaurant that happens to have good food.
Thank you, Mother Nature, for a wonderful day.
High temperature today was 26 degrees. That's not bad at all. Thank you, Mother Nature, for this precious gift. I've been meaning to get down to กระโทก / Krathok (โชคชัย / Chokchai), and today it happened.
What a nice little town! I parked the bike at บึงกระโทก / Lake Kratoke and had a walk-around. What happens if you drink a whole pot of Earl Grey tea? Yep. I paid three baht (less than 10 cents) to use the restroom near the playground across the street. It's the first time I've paid in a while, but fair enough. The system works. The people who operate the restroom make enough money to keep it clean, and it was clean.
I have now visited Krathok town center in a very limited fashion. Not a problem because I intend to go back, maybe next time all the way down to ครบุรี / Khon Buri, as well...

Thank you, Yamaha Motor Company. The Exciter 155 is a mighty little beast. No regrets on my purchase decision. |

Negative Covid test to start the day. If I have Covid, I have Covid. But there's no reason to give it to someone who could die from it. |

Sunset before a week of (relatively) cool weather.
Still the Sky Pilot.

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

How many maps have been stored in this poor little brain of mine? Always room for more, I suppose, depending on where I am. As of now, it st...
