Somewhere over Mongolia at 30k feet. Doesn't look like a good place for a crash landing.

On top of Ayers Rock central Australia 1984.
Went to see a friend for a drink by the Chao Phraya. They had no Jack so had my first beer for quite a while. What Beer? Decided to take a leaf out of BLDs book.
That looks nice. Can Lulu-No-Mates come join for the remainder of the afternoon?
^^Is that the Siam Riverside?
No problem Luigi. I'll keep the ice cold.
A little place at Wang Lang.
^So at some point around 4.55pm we went past you on our left.
A skybridge between Mo Chit & Ladprao Intersection station is logistically impossible, surely. Quite how they will achieve this given the gradients between them is a mystery. They've started at Mo Chit and today I noticed these on the nighest piers.
A direct walk between JJ Park and Central without hassle and traffic would be great. And damned high.
This is Thailand, believe it when I see it.

My rental on my trip to see Mum in Maryborough and daughter in Brisbane last October. This is outside daughter's house.
A beast.

Did the rental company take a 3 K bond from ya credit card for that car.
I rented a piss ant thing in Perth last year for one day and it was a regulation 3 K hold on my credit card.
Fook.
I forget Terry. I think it was just my card as surety. They may have. All done at BNE airport and I was knackered so it's all a bit foggy. Never got any speeding tickets in the mail though. Hit 180 at one point on the Bruce Highway.
Great car.
Only had 7000 on the clock when I got it.
Edit...on reflection, I think they did, and refunded it when I showed the petrol station receipt at the airport when I gave it back.
Edit: Upon reflection again...I think they wanted 7k if I didn't take their insurance, and about 2k to cover the excess if I did. I opted for insurance.

They told me that in the event of an accident even if it was not my fault they hold the 3 K until Insurance is sorted and then they would refund my 3 K. ?????
This was a major airport company.
I wanted the car for 24 hours . Never again.
In Thailand They take a 10 K baht hold, i like that much better.
^
They only told me because I grilled the Girl about what was this 3 K bolliks about and how does the Insurance work.
I bet plenty of people don't bother asking and then get one serious shock when confronted with this after an accident.
^^^I got a free bump from a standard Commodore to an SV6 at Perth a few years back. I was looking forward to driving it but when I took my wallet out I discovered that the taxi driver who drove me to the airport in Sydney had not given me my credit card back.
I lost the SV6 bump. I was unable to rent a car at all. I had to hand over a mountain of cash at the hotel just to be allowed to check in. Do not ever accidentally end up in a strange city on a business trip sans credit card!!
It was actually a bit of a bugger as I was working at the naval base down the coast near Rockingham and staying at the Esplanade in Freo and I had to get a taxi every day.
Lucky it was not my coin!
^but I did pop across the road to the Little Creatures brewery for a few of their divine Pale Ales which you can watch brewing through the glass wall in the brewery shop, to drown my sorrows!
Some artsy shit that I took around Bangers
The second pic looks like a model, not the real city. Odd, that!
This was painted on a wall well before they started on the Mo Chit BTS terminus and head office. Despite fading and a scrawls, it still survives next to the car park gate on Phahon Yothin Road, complete with the original logo (near right) before they decided on the current one. So I'd put it at about 22-23yrs old.
