Family visitors


Today we were so happy to see my cousin Ann and her Husband Andy. They are the first family to visit me in Thailand since I moved out here.

They have been on a month long tour of the world, LA, New Zealand and a visit to Uncle Steve in Perth. Bangkok was the final stop on the tour. I met them at Mochit BTS Station and we called in at the house to pick up Nuch and Elizabeth.

From then on things didn't go as smoothly as we had planned, we had planned to go to Auyuttaya and then on to Bang Sai, get out from the smog. Nuch decided that we should go to Bang Sai first, however we got lost and only after three U turns did we find Bang Sai Craft site.

It was well worth it, a craft village in plesent surroundings, lots of trinkets to buy at silly prices. Elizabrth was getting hot so we decided to find somewhere to eat and then head back to home. We found a lovely riverside restaurant and had a good thai meal. On the way back the petrol gauge was showing empty, I had to crawl back at low rev until we forund a garage.

Nuch's parents kindly agreed to look after Elizabeth in the evening, and we took Ann and Andy back to their Hotel. Yes, I got lost again!

We all went down to Patpong night market, Ann was in need of some retail theropy and Andy wanted to spend some money, so the two went well together.

We had planned to go to Cabbages and Condoms, but by the time we at finished aroeund Patpong, we al wanted a drink.
