Bangkok has interesting power lines. Below are some pics showing the quantity of wires and very confusing junctions. The coils of extra wire are probably for future adjustments. Although a resident I spoke with said they often just cut and leave when they replace wires. Nothing gets removed.

I imagine that this technique is cheaper in the short term and more expensive in the long term. The cost to track and fix problems is certainly higher. And the problems are probably more frequent and more severe.

There are times when the risk of taking the cheap way out won’t cause too much long term pain. And times when it will. I think I know which this is.

I love squirrels. The grey ones hang around our yard. We have a bird feeder and massive trees which pulls them into our yard. They clean up the maple seed helicopters nicely.

Our dog is insufficient to keep them out. She can get within a few feet of them, but they don’t consider her a threat.

They are always busy and fun to watch.

Thailand has squirrels and they look cooler than the gray squirrels we have. This guy was at the Grand Palace. All the people around didn’t seem to bother it.

There is a high-end mall near the Bangkok mall and there is a Krispy Kreme booth there. It had your standard glaxed donuts and then a bunch of varieties. So many to choose from….

We had a layover at this airport and it is beautiful. They have newer tech than other airports I’ve been at recently. Including bidets in half the men’s bathroom stalls.

We had to walk from one end of Terminal 2 to the other. There was a crazy number of high shops, at least a half-dozen of them were just high end purses. There was even a Prada store and I’m fairly certain I have never seen one of those.
