Announcement over small town tannoy system in a Thailand station, recorded by Alex Boyesen.
"I recorded this from outside of my studio door. The local village community that I am a part of - Tumbol Palan - has a tannoy system in which the Puya Baan (Head villager) will announce things to everyone living there.
"This can range from deals that a farmer may have for food they have grown, upcoming events such as village gatherings, who has died, warnings about weather/Covid-19 and so on or simply to say hello and hope everyone is well and to come and visit him if there are any problems to report."
