To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
-- The Buddha
His 'war paint' is talcum mixed to a paste with water and is traditionally spread around on people, vehicles, buildings, dogs cats and sausages during songkran. Bangkok has taken almost four days to remove the worst of the talcum from theur signage etc. this year.
