A quiet day here

By -
We have had a really quiet day today...lazy morning again, breakfast, dropped some washing off to the Laundry (70baht per kg = approx. $2.30) Comes back clean, ironed and folded!!!!
We headed to the tailors this morning. Jason and I are getting some clothes made (a little more expensive than the laundry!)




We had lunch back at the resort (a bit of western food) and had some quiet time!



In the afternoon we headed over to Patong. We went to the night markets and had some dinner. A Suki Hot Pot at MK. This was yum! 
A suki hot pot is a little like the old fondue...communal dinner but more like soup. 🍜 

Tonight at the market we found some shirts for Jason. The best thing about this was the salesman. Normally they are trying to convince you to buy something you don’t want (in all honesty this guy was probably the same) however he was definitely the best salesman so far. His English was pretty good and his knowledge of Aussie slang was great...how are ya mate, gday, bloody hell, friggin beautiful mate....and so it went on. He was great entertainment and lots of fun. Made bartering with him fun. 



Unfortunately the end of another day!

    Jan not interested in getting something made and Brayden has got plenty of clothes while we have been here!!! Tailor made while he is still growing so quickly wouldn’t be such a great idea I don’t think. 😊

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
