Bangkok Life part 17

This weeks report is one day late, due in main to my showing Alan and Jackie Burns around Bangkok, I will cover the trip in a future blog.
One of the perenial questions i'm asked about Thailand, and the Burnsy were no exception is "What is the McdonaldsLike". I can honestly say that on the whole it is exactly the same, any of the chicken products dont seem to taste as nice, but for the rest their fine. There is the same items on the menu, also something called a Samuri Pork Burger, which i've not tried and very unlikely to. None of the burgers come in boxes, they all come wrapped in paper, with the Big Mac, to help keep the Mac looking like it should, they put a cardboard tube around it, its great! Not the usual slide alround the box, looking like you've been sick. The price is around three times cheaper than the UK, so a Big Mac is around 60p, a happy meal about £1. Bearing in mind though, thats the cost of living is around three times cheaper, the same as wages, the price of Mcdonalds is the same for Thai's as it is for people back in the UK.

While trawling round Patpong Night Market I came across this "Magic Wallet". Its very impressive. You put a folded bank note on one of the inner sides, close the walllet and then open from the other end. Magically, the bank note is affixed under one set of the ribbons, keeping your notes safe. You can do it as many times as you like, they will always end up fixed un the straps. If you would like one, let me know.

Last weekend Nuch's two brothers came round to the Condo, they bought there two sons and one of their cousins for a swim in the pool. The youngest lad who is not very well, he as a liver problem had never swam in a pool before. Like the little daredevil he is, he just ran and jumped! For saying he isn't very well, hes into everthing, and because of his little angelic face, he gets away with anything.

Nuch made a lovely dineer of fresh crab, prawns and noodles.

I'm going back to bed know, try and recover from the visit by the Burns! Just how much shopping can be done in four days? A. I'll let you know when the swelling in my feet as gone down.
