Tried to have a weekend free of politics, starting with a Saturday afternoon stroll to Pantip joining a party later on. But no politics is hardly possible in the metropolis Bangkok that’s just not getting rid of its provincial charm.
You can meet anyone anywhere. At the party I ended up with meeting… well, have a look at the little photo essay below shot with my cheap Fuji cam, please bear with the quality. Once he started singing karaoke I called it a day and left. What can you do.
Politics seem to have taken infiltrated every corner of the place. He was a nice guy, until the moment I asked him about Hun Sen. As if struck dumb with horror his eyes seemed to say: “Not here!” Wasn’t “no politics” my plan, me jerk…
A karaoke duet could have bridged the gap. He was definitely the better singer. Maybe they should organize karaoke parties at the top level. The yellow shirts are ready it seems.
Yeah, Saranyu Wongkrajang, actor-turned-yellow. Google him + PAD, Sondhi, King Naresuan film…
