    I hit a rat with my Honda.

    May 6, 2025 /

    It dashed out into the street from under a parked car and bonked against the front fairing of my Wave 110i. I don’t think I ran it over and I didn’t look back.

    Or mostly Japanese, actually. At the original Big C supermarket location in Maha Sarakham, which has been on a steady decline since so many competitors opened – Makro, Tesco (many branches of varying sizes), some independent stores that usually go bust within a year, and most recently, CJ. What Sarakham really needs is a Tops supermarket, which is is more high-end (but not as high end as Villa). Pickle really likes wet food recently since she’s getting older, and she crunches reluctantly on dry food like her teeth are sensitive. She likes this Nekko brand a lot (although it’s pretty expensive at Big C, as pictured here), and won’t eat…

    It’s nice to know that the inner city canal system is still in use, even after most of them were filled in from the 1960s. If you get the chance, it’s a little bit off the beaten path and it’s a cheap way to both get around and see some funkier areas of Bangkok: Khlong Saen Saep Boat Service
