So an interesting thing about Thailand is that it still has a King and Queen (its still a Kingdom). And it seems to be a very popular royal family. This was very evident on Monday where the entire country seems to wear yellow shirts in honor the King being on the throne. Just imagine walking into a building and seeing yellow everywhere. Alby and I almost lost each other in the cafeteria because we blended in so much. We'll definitely take a picture next week, it's something to witness.
There are some other quirks with working here in Bangkok, or maybe it's just the bank we are working at. But at lunch time they play music to remind the workers that they should stop working and go get lunch. The music comes on 3 times: 12pm, 12:30, and 1pm. Again at 5pm the music comes on and the lights dim telling the employees it is time to go home. But in the evening the music doesn't turn off, it continues to play so either you have to block it out or go home. Unfortunately most of our co-works choose the first option and just learn to ignore the music.
At our last client (boeing) we used to say someone had to declare lunch so we would all get up and go get food, maybe they should try doing something like they do here in Bangkok, and start playing a go to lunch song :)
