Tale from the crypt . .

    Newer Older

    . . continued.

    Another from my day out with <Mike>, when on Sunday we ended up visiting the Chinese cemetery halfway up (or down) Silom Soi 9, near Chong Nonsi BTS station.

    Much of our time there was spent fending off the many barking mads (soi dogs) that wanted to chase us off "their" territory.

    When they came close (fortunately not too frequently) I dropped my camera to knee height and walked threateningly towards them with the dangling camera. <Mike>'s tactic was to pretend to pick up a stone and to throw it.

    Both tactics were good enough to keep the 15 or so wild dogs at bay. This is a mini-Stupa (with another to the left).

      lol, I remember thinking to myself..."Man, this guy has got balls! He doesn't seem to be afraid of a dozen mangy, rabid, street dogs." I didn't realize you were prepared to use your camera as a weapon.

      I know that rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper but I am starting to doubt whether rock would beat camera in this case or not.
