Canada is a Country of Laws which gives rise to regulations coming out of your ying yang. Your cats and dogs need a licence. You need a licence to hunt and fish. You need a helmet for your motorcycle or bicycle. Parking on the street is usually metered. I just noticed I have never seen a parking meter in Bangkok and the scourge of parking law enforcement officers simply does not exist. There are no stop signs in Bangkok. You need a vendors permit in Canada to sell food on the street or even a lemonade stand. Not so in Bangkok. All of these rules and regulations need a huge infrastructure to enforce.
In Thailand, if you overstay your visa, they turf you out and then ban you for X number of years before you get back in. They do not put you on pogey and give you a free lawyer to represent your case. Guess what, no hug illegal immigration problems!
Sure Thailand has its issues, but over regulation is not one of them.
Meanwhile back with Thavorn and Jaidan have decided to stay in Phang Nga for the rest of the month of August. It seems despite the lack of air conditioning, Jaidan is having fun and Thavorn is enjoying time with her 3rd child she sees once or twice a year.
This is a busy week for me with beers with my buddy Larry on Wednesday and and with fellow basketball coaches Ashley, Mike, and Gerry today, and basketball games with my daughter Jaime on Tuesday and Friday.
My sister Elaine gets back Saturday night and I will be relieved of the tyranny of the 5 cats who seem to be running my life at this moment in time and space.
