Rugging up in Bangkok


We are still in the midst of a welcome cool spell, which barely affects farang accustomed to colder climes, but which is harder on Thais who like warmer weather.

Getting dressed for his trip to the supermarket this morning took Maiyuu 10 minutes.

He emerged looking wearing white tracksuit pants, a black singlet, and black parka with red, blue and white stripes for his bike ride to the supermarket.

‘Does this look over the top?’ he asked as he set off.

‘You look fine...no one will notice that you look like a national flag,’ I replied.

Mr Ball has found himself a job at a coffee shop.

I am not sure what his duties are – I will hear about them when I pay a visit tonight – but he is into day three so far, and doing well.

They make him work strange hours. Today he started at 4am, and is finishing mid-afternoon. What does he do at that ungodly hour – Prepare food? Clean windows?
