New years wishes: Songkran Edition.

[dddave]

Well, for the third time this year; Happy new year!!! Sawat dee pee mai!!

This is one of those things the Thais do well; if you don't get those wishes and resolutions right the first time, you still have a couple more chances to set them straight.

 

To be honest, coming up with an annual list of wishes/prayers has become increasingly difficult; pretty much most of the items on my standard list for the previous twenty-five years were wiped out my first week in Thailand. I modified "World Peace" to "A Piece in Every Corner of the World" which left me only "Unlimited Riches" and the "Supreme Court Reconsidering and Reversing the Y2K election".

 

It has thus come to pass that I have narrowed the focus of my most fervent desires, presented forthwith without further preamble:

 

1, Unlimited Riches. (Even Bill Gates still has this

at the top)

2, Supreme Court Blah Blah; fat chance.

 

3, That I live whatever days I have remaining to me

without EVER having again to listen to a Thai band

play "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" (My chances are better

with #'s 1&2)

 

4, That Taksin purchase one of those Pattaya condo's

with a low balcony rail.

 

5, That the BMA station pairs of police along the

Sukhumvit sidewalk between sois 12 and 6, holding

between them at the height of 1.25 meters a two

meter length of stout bamboo, thus clothslining

every freekin, arrogant motor-sy speeding between.

 

6, That a squad of unemployed Imperial Cossaks be

deployed along Sukhumvit between Soi's 3 and 19

charged with enforcing vendor regulations.

 

7, That the entire Middle East have a massive feud

with Thailand and declare it a "No Travel Zone"

 

8, Ditto for the U.K. (I'll fry for that.)

 

9, That all regulation restricting "showing" be

abolished at SOI COWBOY, NANA PLAZA, PATPONG,

SOI 33, SIAM SQUARE, THE EMPORIUM, BTS, CHATUCHAK,

CHULA., ECTCETERA, ECTCETERA ECTCETERA!

 

10, A palatable light beer. (No; don't tell me about

SAN MIGUEL LITE or CHANG: tasts like water stored

next to the beer.)

 

More??; anybody????

[..]

Arrgh! Too freakin' drunk. I think I bought bottles in Christie's, Napolean and a couple others in Cowboy...plus Pom Michael bought another bottle with the challenge at we kill it before we left No Name Bar. Aren't you happy you ignored my SMS?

 

Anyway, Happy New Year all!!!! I truly hope you all get what you wish for!

 

Cheers,

SD

'Ditto for the U.K. (I'll fry for that).

Dear Gents,

 

Happy new year to you one and all! I do hope you all have a wonderful year ahead, full of good times, joy, luck, and as we are prone to say in Thailand "Sanuk."

 

All of course except DDdave...who seems to hate us UK lads...all I can wish is he sees the light, or else is forced to spend all eternity in the company of rather large women from Blackpool or worse yet Coventry, the kind which are frequently mistaken for cattle, both for the smell and appearance. Dear Lad, whatever occurred to make you so hateful of us Brits? were you dropped on your head by a British nanny while young?

 

With all in order, happy new year to you all.

 

Best Regards-BST
