walk the plank

Yesterday there was a story in The Nation (Bangkok newspaper) about the outcry over a photo of a planking monk. We met some Thai friends for lunch, and invited them up to the 52nd floor of our hotel to check out the view. And someone joked - "good spot for planking."  (Even if we didn't think planking was for plonkers, we had to sign a good behaviour policy before they unlocked the doors to the balcony.)


The morning was spent meandering around Chatachak markets. We were there at 10am and it didn't seem too crowded. One of the more startling offerings on sale were what looked like human skulls. 


I loved the ingenuity of wrapping a drainpipe in material. It's hard to tell from this pic, but it looked lovely.
