ctc77965o Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 My local car club crew are on a long weekend drive to Betong, the southernmost part of Thailand. Today we went to see Chin Peng's camp in the jungle...where the remains of Malaysia's post-independence communist insurgency held-out until 1989. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-24105976 Day one sunset...now time for noodles & beer!
