Amazing Thailand
This is the catch phrase the Thai Tourism Authority has been using. I took some pictures while I was down in Bangkok last weekend that made me say... yup... amazing.

1) The elephant building... who ever designed it must have had too much fun designing this building.... and that there is no code violation, now that's amazing.


2) Electrifying...I know it's hard to tell, but it's a picture of an street overpass. You can easily reach out and grab all those nice wires as you go up on the stairs... like a 2 year old child piggy backing on your back.


3) Lost in translation (1) The government division called "Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division"... are you preventing it or committing it??


4) Lost in translation (2) I don't know what went wrong... a nice, very elegant Jewelry store in a very very expensive (I assume... I didn't dare to ask) hotel.

Bonus Rounds.. Perhaps only in some space community will get this. I was invited to a satellite conference in Bangkok totally by being at the right place , at the right time. Next to the stage there was a stand with logos of various Thai government/pseudo-government organization sponsoring the event. I noticed that they are using an US satellite for their logo... can you tell which satellite it is ?
