    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.

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…

    We visited students interning on the island last year and stayed in a nice, deserted-due-to-low-season resort. A big storm came and the power went out for a few hours, but otherwise it was a great trip. This was Max’s favorite meal on the trip, Khao Soi.
