Sawasdee Ka everyone, sorry yes I am late doing the blog. We had a late night so it was a bit hard at 11pm to come down to the lobby and try to do the blog being half asleep..
Today was another relaxing and easy day in Changers. We skipped our usual brunch at maccas and instead caught a tuk tuk to Pang Suen Keaw (I have probably spelt this wrong) shopping centre. I spied it the other day when we were coming back from Doi Suthep temple and remember seeing it on a trip advisor travel diary, so I thought we have checked out all the other big shopping centres we may as well do this one.
Well the shopping centre building is very old but boy it was huge, floors and floors of shops and stalls, there seem to be a lot more westerners in the shopping centre and areas itself, not all looked like tourists. We spent hours looking through floor after floor of the shopping centre, stopped for lunch at KFC and then decided to walk and explore where all these foreigners were coming from. We walked the main road for what seemed like hours and almost ended up at the bottom of the mountain that leads up to the Doi Suthep temple and the clouds started rolling in over the mountain and the humidity seemed to get thicker so we figured a storm and rain was brewing so best we flag down a tuk tuk and head back to the hotel.
The rest of the arvo was spent watching the AFL and seeing West Coast get there arses kicked again, yippee! by Essendon and by the time the game finished it was 8pm and we headed out to dinner. We didn't go to the usual food court as we decided to have a break from Thai food and felt like vegies so we headed a bit further down the road and stopped and an english restaurant and Rick had pork chops, mash and vegies and I had Chicken cordon bleu, mash, vegies and gravy. It wasn't bad but I find the Thai food much tastier and filling that the western meals here. We stopped on our walk home and grabbed a soft serve at maccas while we walked off dinner.
The streets and markets seem a lot more lively and busier on Friday nights and weekends and you walk outside at 11pm at night and the place is still abuzz. Must be that more tourists arrive on Fridays. There are a couple of groups of Aussie high school teenagers here on either cultural exchange or a cultural school trip and the streets were full of them and they were shopping their hearts out. We got back to our hotel at 11pm and by this time were buggered, watched a bit of telly and that was the end of the night.
Not much planned for this weekend as there are a few AFL games so we will pretty much hang out and watch them in between going out for our daily walks and food.
Hope everyone at home had a good Friday 13th. Thats all for now. Until Tomorrow! Kob Chai
