After a week in Laos I've arrived back in Thailand to consider my next move. I've still a post to write about Laos, but until I do I just wanted to share with you a couple of the first signs I saw upon crossing the Friendship bridge from Laos on to Thai turf. In the one above I like the way they've listed the punishments in order of severity, and in the second I think they've found a good approach in communicating Birdflu.

So now I've a few days in Bangkok and am excited because from work Iain, aka Hillsy, and his better half Katrina arrive here too, so I'm really looking forwrd to seeing them (and the Special K they've promised to hand deliver in return for genuine Russian vodka). To mark this special occasion I may pretend not to be so much of a smelly backpacker and go get a shower! That's a joke, I don't smell.
