Popsicles in Thailand
Posted Monday, August 9, 2021 10:16 PM
Hope everyone is well.  Some, of course, are better off than others.
 
I walk daily by so many who are without, so in my little way I try to bring a little joy to my neighborhood and in particular Soi (Street) 15.  A flock of giggling children follow me from the 7-Eleven each night as I pass out treats (popsicles and ice cream usually).  I help out with several street vendors (a symbiotic relationship really as their fare is absolutely delicious <aroy>). 
 
My girlfriend owns an open-air restaurant and a separate air-conditioned beauty salon adjacent to it which are both closed by the government due to the corona virus--except for take-away food.  Each night I sit down to wonderful Thai dishes and feel a bit guilty thinking about the unfortunate.  So we all try to chip in, but I am not a charity--seeing those smiling faces is my selfish reward.  :-)
 
Take care. 
 
And what a perfect accompaniment...Fiona
