Another scary report to wrap up this week with yet another alleged “shoplifter” from Bangkok’s Airport. What is wrong with this frigging country?!
News like this makes me really scared. I easily could be one of those shoppers who, after making my purchase, will usually not bother to check my receipts. Simply because, I have every intention to pay for all my purchases when I bring them to the cashier counter. As far as I’m concerned, it is not my prerogative to check if the cashier has done her job to scan all the products which I intend to buy. Guess, I have to be very careful now and make sure that I check my receipts to my purchases before leaving any premises. The outcome is not funny and I do urge you to do the same if you intend to shop in Bangkok’s Duty-Free zone or any other places in Thailand for that matter.
King Power tried to “explained” itself with this video here . Apparently that clearly proved that the couple from the previous case are guilty of shoplifting. I think it’s horseshit. You decide.

Looks like Khun Pon is at it again. This time, she has taken the initiative to add on new plants into 2 of our empty pots in the balcony. For the longest time, the pots on the extreme left and extreme right on this picture have been bald as Silver Bullet contemplates on a new plant strategy. A few days ago, however, Silver Bullet noticed that the two pots are now filled-up with really healthy looking greens! We could only guess that it could be the deed of our house-helper, Khun Pon. Our suspicions were duly confirmed when we saw her today and she has asked us about the plants. She does seem genuinely happy that we are happy! It was, indeed, a pleasant surprise.
It is generally hard to come by an honest, reliable and amicable house-helper. We are blessed by someone like Khun Pon who has no qualms of going the extra mile, without us asking her to. She has a knack of leaving us pleasant surprises each time she comes by to clean up the apartment, despite the fact that she actually exclusively works full-time for another family on a separate floor. What a really sweet lady! She’s a gem and a keeper.
