Thai pussy...

The king of Thailand is completely revered here. There are huge posters of him everywhere and along the motorway there are giant billboard size photo portraits of him looking suitably regal and austere. As we came back from Kanchanaburi I saw one of him and his wife. He was looking very noble and very serious. His wife (who isn't in many of the portraits - probably for this very reason) was wearing a casual tshirt and had a ridiculous grin of childlike amusement splashed across her face. The reason for her mirth was that she was holding up a very grumpy looking cat with one arm, while the other one had a paw in hand and was making it wave at the camera.

It reminded me of home.
