A close encounter with the law!

---

Today I was stopped by the police….. again, for not wearing a crash helmet. There were 6 of them, so I though that I was in for a rough time. The conversation went like this……..

“Hello Sir, you must wear a crash helmet”.
“Ok, no problem, I will put it on now”. (Thinking - S**t, there are 6 of them standing around me, they will throw the book at me for sure).

"Where are you staying?"
"I am staying at Kaeng Krachan National Park Headquarters."

"What do you do there?"
"I am a volunteer, teaching English."

"Who do you teach?"
"The Park staff & Rangers, & people from the village."


"Ahhh……. You must be a very good man, you have spirit, Thailand loves you! Please continue & be very careful because motorcycles are dangerous!"

What a refreshing change!

The rangers lodge where I am staying was flooded & the bathroom ceiling fell down.
Luckily, my room was OK.

Wow!
Please bring those nice policemen back with you when you come home! You're looking well by the way, despite the hurricanes and creepy crawlies!
