HURRAH THAILAND!

Great news. During my winter holiday in Northern Thailand I seen
this nice billboard on the way to the famous Doi Suthep temple on
the outskirts of Chang Mai- yep; it was a billboard of Tammy T.


Too bad that Patty had to play Eleni;but that's the way it always goes
for me- my favorites end up playing each other- Drats!

Oh darn poor Patty lost;but hey Tammy is on her way to a Semi final.
So...

Yep, Bimmie there was a billboard of Tammy's. Wow, what
a coincidence that she was in Chang Mai too. It's a super country.
"sticky rice" rules.

What was the billboard advertising? Nivea? Or was it a public service announcement?

Good luck to Tammy against Lilia in the semis!

Actually..

It looked like an add for MILO;but it could have been a public service
announcement too. I can't read Thai; sorry.
