Sena and Wang Noi

By -
Today was a 'Day in the Life of Geoff and Chalor on their Day Off'
As you may have seen earlier before we had a very special breakfast visitor...you will be please to know that he was safely returned to the canal.

After organising ourselves we headed to Sena. Nothing spectacular as a town but we went to what is like a huge warehouse- a super sized Reject Shop. Geoff, Chalor and Poi get a lot of their stock for the shop here. Just recently Geoff got heaps of Peter Lehmann wine there...we appear to be making a dint in his collection!!!!

We saw some beautiful homes in this area and some new ones being built!
We then headed to Ayutthaya. We had lunch at what they call 'Tesco Lotus Cafe' which is just like a food court. Brayden and I had KFC...The others had a Thai based meal - chicken and rice basically!!!
We the headed to Wang Noi to go to Makro. Basically the same as Costco!!
We saw plenty of street stalls on the way in the car....

After that we stopped at a market to get prawns for dinner. The place we stopped has live prawns that you purchase by the kilo ($7/kilo). They then cook then for you. They were huge!!!

We ended up making them into Garlic Prawns as they were a little bland... Check them out...
Anyway another great day!

    Are you voice recording all these experiences? From what sea/ocean do the prawns come? Did they grill BBQ them? Stay safe.

    No voice recording....have already used all my storage on my iPad!!!
    Prawns are farmed...in what is called Aquaculture...they are grain fed. So have never lived in either a sea or an ocean!
    There is a photo of the girl cooking the prawns...like a BBQ.

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
