Blasphemy

Thursday was Makha Bucha Day, an important Buddhist holiday that celebrates the day when 1,250 monks all coincidentally showed up at the same time to listen to the Buddha give a sermon. 

In a sadistic display of  quid pro quo, the Thai government gives everyone a holiday, while banning the sale of alcohol.   As part of my traditional Makha Bucha celebration, I set out to find a vendor that would covertly sell me beer.  It didn't take long.
