Geo: 18.7833, 99Up late had breakfast and went for a walk to see if someone could help me change the extension on my photos. No luck came back to the Hotel and tried the Travelpod App on my phone, no problem the photos uploaded. Been really frustrating.  Hope everyone enjoys the Easter break, we ran into people from Cranbourne this morning in the lift and they were off to Kosumui tomorrow for their daughters wedding, they also love this place and the people. Had lunch at the Chinese Restaurant which was an eat as much as you want, very nice but expensive (700THB) $25 for both of us.  My Meal Card would not work so checked the account when we came back to the Hotel and it plus my Salary Sacrifice Card have both been compromised.   Looks like ANZ ... read more

Geo: 18.8021, 98.9673Outside the Hotel this morning was the lady with the birds so Mick thought it appropriate for him to release some for us to have a safe trip home, after what happened yesterday in Brussels, very sad when innocent people are caught up in these incidents and great to see life going on as well.Finally tried on my suit, a shirt, which is one of three, skirt and trousers, amazing really happy and will pick up tomorrow. Do you think I got out of their without Sunny doing a deal of an extra two skirts and a pair of slacks for $150, Mick helped by saying you will not get a deal like this again, get them!We came back to the Hotel and booked a Dinner Cruise for Friday night on the Ping River.Went ... read more

Geo: 18.8021, 98.9673We went to the Tailor and he had not done anything yet so I tried on my skirt for him to adjust and we will see him at 11am Wednesday. Caught a Tuk Tuk to the old city and found the Thai Farm Cooking School booked for the 27th March they will pick us up at 8.30am - 4pm. Then caught another Tuk Tuk to the Dentist who was very hard to find, the driver had to find other Tuk Tuk drivers to ask so after 1/2 hour looking we finally found it. Natalee had given me the name and address for them, she and her hubby get there teeth done here and they are very good. $15.00 for a filling and I was quoted at home $200 - $250, so both of us ... read more

Geo: 18.8, 98.98We were picked up at 1pm and ventured into one of the largest mountains in Thailand, the road towards the top was not the best so we changed to a truck because the road was very narrow and full of pot holes. Mona did not tell us how narrow the roads were and it was busy with people in cars, on bikes and in buses we held our breath a few times because there was not much room to get pass. The first stop was the village school of the White Meo Hilltribe, the King was responsible for the school being built for the local children. The King and Queen of Thailand are adored by the people but has no power and yet managed to influence the government to get this done, with running ... read more
