Another reminder that despite evidence to the contrary, Thailand is still stuck in medieval times. Can you believe it? - in BKK Post today, the Govt has cancelled Loy Kratong (17th Nov) because the mounring period for the Patriach has been extended until 23rd November.

They're not even going to consider a new date to hold it until after 23rd.

Despite being one of the country's major tourist events, with tens of thousands of people planning visits and booking hotels, flights etc, it's just cancelled 2 weeks out. Do we cancel Christmas if the Pope dies? Christ no!
