It's 8 AM and I'm asleep!

Thais love their King.  A lot.  And from what Drexler has told us, I can understand - he sounds like a badass.  

Part of this kingly love is playing the national anthem, the King's song, twice each day - once at 8 a.m. and again at 5 p.m. They also play it at the start of movies and other various occasions, but these two are the most noticeable for us. During the first week we were here, none of us slept past 8 and were instead jolted awake by the King's song coming in our windows.  

The last few days though, I haven't heard the King's song at 8 a.m. I'm too busy sleeping.
