Thusday Had dinner in my room last night and fell into a heap after my busy biking day! Hanging by the pool today feeling a cross between perfect contentment and guilt that I should be out exploring more. I am the only guest on the rooftop pool deck hanging and reading, I will release my guilt and enjoy this until I no longer enjoy it.... Then I will do something else.There is no honking of horns here. There is a lot of traffic and craziness, but the only honking is done when a driver passes a Buddha or a spirit house they know. Car accidents, they call them kisses, and don't do much about them, (apparently unless its a fatality)(then what, kiss of death?)I think about this as I leave the pool were I have been plopped under an umbrella all day, go to change to go to the tailor and realize in Thailand, being under an umbrella all day does not equal sunscreen (I resemble a Thai chili pepper)Went to double check when my flight leaves and discovered my folder of paperwork GONE! OMG!NO! Where could it be, it has everything in it!!! Think, think, think,think.... The last hotel! That
Old school Tuk tuk
There were not many of these around but not long ago there were!was days ago, this can't be good. I ran down to the front desk and had them call over. THEY SAVED it! Taadaaa! Tragedy averted yet again. Went to the tailor, picked up my beautiful skirts, and kept walking to pick up my indispensable paperwork. So I decided to head out to the night bazar since I really didn't move much today . I went there looking for two specific things. One was a cotton scarf that I bought early in my trip and loved and two a little hill tribe lady I said I'd come back and buy something from her. It is not a good idea to have a specific goal whilst attending anything in Thailand let alone at a night bazar. The hill tribe ladies all have there tall hats on (which might make them 4 1/2 feet tall) and they all walk around playing these little wooden frogs that when played sound like frogs... Well it was like where's Waldo goes to Thailand, I never did find her. The scarves I did find after scouring many a booth and having to buy several I wasn't interested in... I can't buy another thing! I did stumble apon
GioGio the tailor
He did I great job, it was a really fun and nice experience. some beautiful ladyboys all dressed up trying to bring In Patrons to a cabaret show (I wasn't feeling quite brave enough to go by myself) so I grabbed a crazy tuk tuk driver and went back to repack my suitcase and see how many layers I will have to wear home to fit everything!
