It’s New Year’s Eve in Bangkok & the city is gearing up for end-of-the-year celebrations and more protests. People are making last-minute merit by leaving offerings at shrines everywhere. This was on the curb outside the Chatrium: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a whole chicken left for the spirits. The chicken did not last very long – the local dogs are infidels.

We’re off to Cambodia bright and early tomorrow morning – we’re visiting Angkor Wat. Happy New Year everyone!
