Likewise Thailand. Eyeball recognition, finger and thumb prints. As you say itâs no big deal unless youâre a criminal.

I will be going to Thailand on the 11th Jan for 5 days to see the nipper in Bankok
You still about then?
I will be in Thailand until the end of February, but I will be leaving Bangers in the New Year. Heading for Phuket for a while to meet up with friends, not sure where after that. Maybe Koh Chang for a while, I like it there. Possibly Samui, although that has gone downhill by all accounts. Have a mate with a big house just outside Pattaya, may have a few days there.

Iâm less worried about the gunboat diplomacy.

This is the company nasa were pissed off with because theyâre also taking up things like peoples ashes - and pointed out to nasa that they were only purchasing space on the commercial vehicle so go do one. 
Fuck!
