Bringing back old memories with Makruk (Thai Chess)

The Game opening of Thai Chess

Nothing happen much today. Just as normal I went to the shop to clear some work. Was on the phone about the Mangos. The only thing special today was i had some little time to sit and play Thai Chess or "Makruk" in Thai with my friends at Wawee Coffee shop.

Personally I haven't played it for almost 10 years. playing with my friend brought back those memories when i used to wear short pants everyday, Most traditional Thai boy student uniform are a white shirt with short pants, the color of the pants differentiated depending on the school.
My friends Meow and Year having a good time.

There were no online games like today and students only had a pagers not mobile phones.
Thai Chess was the time killer for lunch break and free hours.

So I have to say this little chess game really reminds me of good memories, ironically i got to remember how bad for the game I was.
