A day at the airport plaza

Linda, pat and I all went on a song thaw to the plaza here, first of all to get out of the heat of the day and to have a look around in Thai shopping centres. Bob was not feeling well and stayed at home.
I have never seen such choice of everything you can possibly think of anywhere ever.

Today's highlight

I got skinned alive at the local hairdresser!

A lazy day at the lodge

Appointment today at the dentist to put the last two implants in at 5 in the arvo, all went very well, all are in now, last appointments on Friday for permenant bridges and stitches pulled on sat from implants. I am stocked!!

The markets and dancing

Walked through the busiest markets I've ever been to! The lovely band playing up the middle of the road at the markets were playing again, all four of them are blind and make lovely music together.
Then Lin, pat and I went to the Thai dancing, the little Thai kids are just the cutest! A great night!

Our lovely tour guide

And the royal temple.
An eventful day still yet to come, Sunday markets and Thai dancing tonight.

The Thai national flower

And some amazing orchids!

Another Sunday ride with the local bickies!

We were all ready, having picked our nice light bikes yesterday, to take off for this Sundays adventure with the Sunday morning bikies, only to have many comments and causing a bit of an uproar, gathering and discussion amongst the bikies as to wether or not we would make it on the three bikes we picked with no gears! Linda's bike seat problem was quicklet fixed by one of the oh so friendly Thai people, who always look after us.
Well in the end we decided that we would opt instead to visit the royal garden and a student joining the bike group for the first time offered to take us there and lead us back!
Lots of amazing orchids as well as gourds and a temple to be seen.
We chopped and changed the bikes all having a turn with one bike we had with gears and a good time was had by all!
We all love the whole bike group, especially the warm up run around the town to a Thai song blaring out over loudspeaker from the back of one of the bikes....they want music..they take music!
