Royal Beetle

Final report from Thailand for now.

On my last night there we went for a walk around the outside of the Siam Paragon centre and suddenly the security guards and police just in front of us got agitated and started shouting orders. People moved out of the way and then we came to a halt.

Then a small convoy of vehicles approached and then passed us. As a car with the Thai Royal crest on the door passed us my companion bowed her head.

Good to see that they manage Royal convoys with respect there although i have no idea which member of the family passed us by.

Here's an interesting thing though, the car carrying the family member was a modern VW Beetle! That's interesting because i had veen spotting old and new Beetles around Thailand throughout my two week trip!

UPDATE This is a bit spooky ... as the taxi arrived at the airport, there was an old style VW Beetle parked there!!
