This is work ethic !

About 500m from where I am staying there were some brick and mortar structures which were used by vendors for morning and/or evening markets. Last week on Thursday they started demolishing the strcutures and the Thais have worked right through the weekend and the stand is vacant and clear, has been fenced off , compliance posters up in place and the important note is that a new Seven Eleven will open for business on the 1st May 2025. That is two months and three days from today! My british friend said that the progress they have already made would have taken 8 months in the UK and yes, he is of the opinion as somebody that has been here often over the last 18 years, that thier opening date will be achieved , unless , he said, the date of opening is deemed to be an unlucky date taking numerology into account. So we will wait and see and I will report back on this ! But to say I am impressed up to now is an understatement ! Should add that the year is 2568 here in Thailand so the 68 refers to this year !
