Are you heading to the Thai Space Expo in Bangkok next week? Get in touch!
I'm a space journalist that will be covering the event, particularly the growing space industry in Southeast Asia, and I'm on the lookout for any interesting companies/stories.

While exploring Bangkok's "green lung" (Bang Kachao) the other day I spotted a snake near us (not pictured but was near here).
Looked it up after and it was a banded krait, the most venomous snake in Thailand! Apparently they're quite docile, but didn't particularly want to find out...

Tbh if I was an alien I would probably send something like this. It will fly in or near most of the planets and is mostly in the flat plane of our Solar System. Good reconnaissance trajectory!
