Following a flight or preferably a boat journey to Australia, I will attempt to cycle across the Nullabor from Perth to Sydney, before heading onwards to New Zealand. I look forward to sharing my journey with you.... full info

You commented upon the national athem several times...
so you are probably aware that the king wrote/composed it. When I lived in Thailand, the king was revered, but there weren't all the billboard pictures of him and his family. Or people wearing yellow shorts. Today it's more of a personality cult. I wonder how much this has to do with the possible succession as he has been ill for quite a while.
