Mali the hippo's 41st birthday at Dusit Zoo

Mali the Hippo was the honoured guest at a grand birthday party last week, something she well deserves, as the second oldest resident of Dusit Zoo has produced nearly 14 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren living in parks in Bangkok and abroad.

Hundreds of visitors to the Bangkok Dusit Zoo offered her their best wishes, as she turned 41, second only to an elephant who is four years her senior.

A press conference was held to announce the activities for four more days of celebration.

Mali arrived from the Tillberg Zoo in the Netherlands in 1967 when she was only two. She has a very big family spread not only over Thailand but also Laos and Malaysia. Her only company now is a granddaughter and great-grandson, Tua Daeng.

Mali has been the delight of Somphong Sawatnum, 44, a keeper who has tended the hippo from the very beginning. "Mali loves all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have lived with her. I've seen her looking after her daughter while the daughter was giving birth. She obstructed others because she didn't want them to disturb her."

"Some visitors are fans of Mali's family. I've seen them visit very often and whenever they come here, they ask me about them," said Chalong Sripumma, 31, another zoo worker.

Kids seemed very satisfied when they saw Mali enjoying eating bread and a variety of fruits and vegetables provided for her birthday with her granddaughter, Makham. Mali also received praise from her animal colleagues, who formed a parade. The procession included lions, snakes and camels.

Zoo bosses arranged other activities for visitors, such as donating fruits and vegetables to Mali, getting in free if their name is Mali, viewing an exhibition about the hippo and writing a wish for her. Children under 10 were given a miniature hippo to take home.

Stray dog barks at another across the road

Unlike humans, stray dogs can communicate with each other across a wide road. This Bangkok street dog stands tall.

I'm not a plastic bag, who am I?

Got this bag from Home Fresh Mart at The Mall Bangkapi. It says "I'm Not a plastic bag". It is made out of cloth, looks cool.

Flooded Bangkok streets, it rained really hard last week

It rained heavily in Bangkok last week and the week before that. Drizzling almost every day at different times of the day and night, the weather's been pretty gloomy. Many streets were flooded upto knee high in various parts of Bangkok thereby worsening the traffic situation. Lots of garbage floating around everywhere.



It was fun anyway to get the feet soaked in the cold water the next morning, walking through the floods at snail's pace.

Mouse glue trap worked, smart rats I must say

Some mice get smarter after seeing their friends get caught in a traditional mouse trap.
When it no longer works a glue trap will do the job but you gotta put some good bait such as prawns which the mice love. Since I ate all the remaining prawns at dinner, I had to get some bread put some jam on it and leave it on the centre of the trap.



The good part about the traditional trap is that you can set the rat free, but you need to go at least 3 miles away so that it does not visit your home again.

Heavy rain and floods, stuck on Petchburi Road under an umbrella with an iPod

Last night I was stuck on Petchburi Road with the heaviest rain I ever experienced under an umbrella. Just 10 minutes of heavy downpour and the floods reached knee deep. Don't ask about the traffic! all cars moved at snail's pace and some vehicles just gave up on the middle of the road.



Not even a single available taxi passed by,
all that was left was me and the dark rainy sky.
