What did I miss? I thought some police officer took offense to your hobby and you left Luang Prabang as a consequence?

I seem to remember that you then went to Madagascar and Turkey before fighting Pattaya's beach chair mafia.

You sure get around, Sir.

Lol, off-topic but indeed I left LP when the police hassled me too much. I returned to Thailand via Turkey and Mauritius (too difficult to enter Thailand at the time due to Covid rules). After visiting my Thai family I went back to teach at an international school in Myanmar for a while. But then the UK government froze the bank accounts of some of the Burmese junta generals and jailed the previous UK ambassador in Burma. I was on a trip to Bangkok and I wasn't allowed back into Myanmar because I'm British! I did try again a few months later but the refusal to allow me to enter the country was even stronger because of my educational charity work in the country (they don't seem to want their young people to be educated...). Yes I did return to live in Luang Prabang and now live in a property where my radio ham antennas are not as visible as at my previous address. But I would not be surprised if the local police come calling again!

Up and downs in life, better than growing old in the UK though!
