-- Y'day, (02 jun.), having completed my shopping I allowed my feet to take me OUT of CHINATOWN and towards RATTANAKOSIN ISLAND; quite serendipitously I found myself at the backside of the TERRITORIAL DEFENCE BLDG. - Phra Pi Pit rd., and so knew where I was: a few MORE steps and I'd be on Saran Chai rd. and walking NORTHwards to the MIN. OF DEFENCE BLDG..
- ETA.: MIN. OF. DEFENCE approx.
18.15.hrs.; possibly a bit too early for others
'Walking & looking.'? Those few pedestrians whom I saw at that time were progressing purposefully, doubtless on their ways back home? I saw few others,
no obvious students, sitting on various seats provided but
no kerb-crawling 'Benzen. with tinted windows.
- It would be about
17.15.hrs. that I quit that area and walked into
SARANROM PARK, whither I've not been for quite some time;
- Apart from the joggers and those others exercising or practising their dance-steps few others seen just strolling idly around;
- I sat-down on one of the four benches that seem to be favored; after a while a couple of possibly working & youngish men passed-by, one of whom - the least favored looking - stared at me rather directly. After awhile he ret'd., looked-at me again, and sat-down a couple of benches away, where he was joined by some other youngish man; but there seemed to be no more to it than that.
- Around and about
20.15.hrs. I decided to leave and paid a final visit to the available
hawng nahm; while I was there a couple of young men stood next to me in turn but weren't shewing anything - possibly shy?
-- I did
not see any of the park's Sec.Gds. on patrol. although there were some standing & chatting at the gates. --
