For my TLLB: Read the sign!!!
For my failure to completely read the sign, I was fined US$ 11. I guess that's fair enough. I properly read the English part "BUY 1 GET 1 FREE". So I picked up a Chunky Monkey and a Cherry Garcia.
But did I read the Thai word under BEN? No, I did not. And for that, I was fined. I have no complaint. I deserved a fat tax for buying Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the first place.

Feeling superior...
There I was, probably in The Mall Korat, sitting and eating my peanut cookies as I watched people eat their McDonald's "food". I admit to feeling highly superior at the time. (Not feeling so superior today after a US$ 22 Ben and Jerry's ice cream crime. Cherry Garcia if you're interested in this type of food crime.)

A successful circumnavigation of Old Town Korat.
As of 20230218, I have successfully circumnavigated Old Town Korat. There is a moat all the way around the old city, and I walked all the way around inside the moat. Photos are in reverse chronological order because the geniuses at Google provide me no other option.
