Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
-- 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.
