Thailand pics

Fortunately, I was younger and more flexible back then so I could adapt to using a porcelain squatter or I would have to wait until I was back in my hotel room.

Saw this one last week but 99% Western toilets now. Edit, at least anywhere a foreigner will go will have a Western one. Even this place actually had both, not uncommon to have both in gas stations and such.

I was working in a Thai airforce hangar.
No tourists there.
We were upgrading the avionics in the king of Thailand's 737. Fun work and they treated us like dignitaires
 
Weird, not sure why I couldn't post the other pics?
 
Went to an American Car and Bike event today, buffet lunch. Indian was cool and allowed test rides of the bikes, Harley didn't (they did last year). Indian just took copy of license and gave you the bikes. No guide or anything, just here's the keys and there's the public highway. A big rainstorm passed through, we all crammed inside and watched the singers. We got there early so we had already demo'd the bikes.

They have good noses. If you have soft bags or food strapped to your bike in a national park its gone! I have seen one run up to a moving scooter with 2 people on it, tearing the plastic bag open on the hook spilling food everywhere. Then like 5 or 6 more ran over and collected the food. Their way smarter and bolder than squirrels. He new the bag on the hook of a moving scooter contained food and could be easily torn and just how to do it.

My cousin got bit by one like 5 years ago, had to get the full series of rabies shots.
 
Coming home today rather than go through the same police checkpoint for the second time today we cut across the lake. There were 10 or 12 guys riding the track there. They said it's public, just bring your bike.

Dude fired up a 2 stroke and did a few laps, I felt like a 12 year old again listening and watching.
