One of the earlier posts I made on New Mandala highlighted a sign of ASEAN goodwill at an intersection outside Pitsanulok in central Thailand. On this first day of May 2009 I thought it would be a nice idea to draw it, once again, to readers’ attention. If you click on the image you will get the big version. That 670 km road trip to Yangon would be fun — one day.

Thanks John,
If you could snap a photo of the sign we would love to run it on New Mandala. The same goes for any other ASEAN unity road signs out there in other parts of the region. I have never seen such signs in other ASEAN countries but that isn’t to say they don’t exist.
Best wishes to all,
Nich

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
