Don't Drink and Vote


Location: Koh Samui - Thailand Date: 23 Feb 2008

There was an election on in Thailand, and on the election weekend the sale of alcohol was banned. Interesting idea. I guess their reasoning is that it's hard enough picking candidates sober.

No Durian


Location: Koh Samui Ferry - Thailand Date: 20 Feb 2008

The Durian is known in Southeast Asia as the "King of Fruits". Its aroma is so pungent though that this King is not welcome inside some places.
