New Thai anti-smoking photo
Thailand similarily to eg. Brasil and Egypt show nasty pictures on cigarettes in an attempt to discourage smoking
So today I just felt like doing a little photoshopping.
The warning text says something like; "Smoking gives you a very bad breath" and in fact the dead fish which washed ashore in front of the bungalow today did so too..

Cutely dressed bunnies
Seen at a market in Phuket.
What a good idea to dress up baby bunnies when it's 30°C/86°F and 80% humidity..

Scrap Boeing 747 for sale in Udon Thani
A catching sight at Udon Thani International* Airport is an old One-Two-Go Boeing 747 owned by Orient Thai airlines. The Jumbo is 26 years old now and has two engines left and is rumoured to be yours for just 5,000,000 Bath (€120,000/$155,000). As of September 2008 One-Two-Go stopped flying leaving a fleet of 16 planes, four of which were sold or finished the leasing contract, another four 747's and six DC-9's remaining on the ground for two years now, part of them with the engines removed. Full aircraft history Udon Thani 747: 13/09/1984 KLM N4551N 06/02/1991 KLM PH-BUV Stored 27/10/03 17/01/2004 One-Two-Go Airlines HS-UTK 08/12/2007 Garuda HS-UTK lsd from One-Two-Go 01/02/2008 One-Two-Go Airlines HS-UTK Ceased operations July 2008 Status 2009: Moved from Don Muang to Udon Thani on 14 August 2009. Hiring airport space in Udon is cheaper than in Bangkok i.e.: 600 Bath/day (€14.50 /$18.50) in Udon as opposed to 2000 Bath/day (€48/$62) in Bangkok. In the week after two engines were removed. Photo dd. August 2009 by Flatlander. ![]() ![]() One week later. Photo dd. 20 August 2009 by Lee. ![]() Status 2010: On top the One-Two-Go colors and logo have been covered with adhesive foil, else it probably would give the owners a bad name. Photo dd. 16 July 2010 by I-nomad. The plane has been stationary for two years now, so why not turn it into a home or a hotel, like in Stockholm? * Although Udon Thani airport was intensely used for bombing Vietnam in the 70's by the US, currently the sole scheduled international flight from/to Udon Thani is operated by Lao Airlines to Luang Prabang several times a week. |

Sawadee Kap Ronald
Seen in Udon Thani. In Thailand they even managed to make Ronald McDonald look like a kind human being or is he just praying for more clientele? |
