Travels, music, technology. Random missives from my consciousness. The inspirational public toilet. But this one is different. Down near Thaksin bridge, in SE Central Bangkok, there is a public toilet that makes me smile every time I pass it. The attendants have turned it into a magical haven of toiletitude.

Lexa Lotus [everywhere]: April 2006
http://lotus-thailand.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Travels, music, technology. Random missives from my consciousness. On 13 April it was the Thai New Year, so most of Bangkokians went on holiday, and those that remained turned the streets one huge water fight. Most of the shops closed for once!

Thai comedy country) music and everyone started dancing! Pictures by E. Meleisa. Things you ...

Travels, music, technology. Random missives from my consciousness. At the moment, he's dissolved parliament and is calling a new election next week. The opposition parties are refusing to take part in the election, and calling for his resignation. So the saga continues. Apparently one of his mottoes is "Better to die than to live like a loser". In my apartment block, a cartoon version of Thaksin illustrates the lift rules card (check out the pic). The man himself (picture from Metroblog Bangkok. First im...

Travels, music, technology. Random missives from my consciousness. Siam politics are very confusing. To outsiders, it may look like nothing much has really changed. The same party is still in power, the Thais are just changing the prime minister. But in reality, some important changes have come about: the media is now much more critical of the government and Thais believe that peaceful protest can bring about real change.
