The missed mention is that of an early morning Sunday procession down Ratchadamnoen Rd. A colourful affair with a group of the colorful boy ‘Princes’ on miniature horse back leading a group of very young ‘pre-novices’ all dressed in their white robes and clutching Lotus flowers.
frustratingly, my camera battery went flat after just two clicks, must remember to carry a spare.
- busy sunday
The madness was Sunday evening, pleasantly busy but high stress for me coping with trying to train new staff without the time to do it. Still we coped and as far as i could see all our customers were happy, and that’s whats important.
lovely guesthouse guest Kirsten
Thanks alot to Kirsten, spending time with us while she prepares to move on to India.
She spent much time chatting to my Mum after the rest of the family had retired and I was busy pulling my hair out and slipping in and out of Basil Fawlty mode as I’m apt to do under stress.
Back to the family visit and Friday which mainly involved a visit to Central Shopping Plaza, Kad Suan kaow, on Huay Kaow rd.
Various things were needed, sandals for Jamie, sunblock, mobile phone, travelers needs. Being a hot day and the kids still suffering a little, Kad Suan Kaow seemed the best option.
First stop was a shoe shop on the ground floor who were most insistent that i did not take photographs inside their shop; so i didn’t. I’m not much of a shopper, especially in a group, so I snuck off to my haven for Ice Coffee. Boon however, was in his element and stuck with the family.
Photo outside shop
A little later , after Joanne took the kids down for a stroll on the grassed central area, we took the kids to a photo portrait shop where Jamie got photographed as a Thai Prince, (500 baht for 5 large photos and a cd.
SATURDAY
Involved a picnic in my favourite haunt, Buak Hard Park. Boon met one of his workmates there taking his son to play in the kids area.
After quite a stretch in the childrens play park and a picnic lunch, we strolled over to the Pavillion over the water at the other end of the park to feed the fish.
