Sailom Resort Bangsaphan Hua Hin

Yesterday we negotiated Bangkok public transportation and found our way to Hua Hin via a 3.5 hour "air conditioned" bus ride. We're trying to meet up with our friend Dawn, but so far no luck.

Last night we went to the night market and went wild; I'm going to have a hard time not bringing all of Thailand home with me in my ...

... s a rule, I think.


Note to self - always go to the bathroom before travel, just in case.

I noticed a surprising phenomenon - absolutely everyone who gets on the minivan takes one look at me and sits in the back. Are they afraid of falangs? Do I look that bad? The bus driver doesn't even have to count the passengers, he knows that if the seat next to the falang is occupied, the bus must be full.

... they into it. I don't think anyone has played Smoke on the Water with that kind of sincerity since that first kid in 1978 figured out that it only took three chords to do it and decided it would sound good on tuba or bari sax too. So, I sat there at an Irish bar in the Thai royalty's vacation spot drinking Paddy Whiskey listening to a group of Thais play the songs my mother used to party to in 1970s Dorchester. Life is strange...

... the courses too quickly. As they took the plates for one course they dropped the next course in front of us. This was only a minor concern though. Overall it was splendid. At the end of the meal they presented us with our anniversary cake. It was a butter cake iced gorgeously with red roses and a happy anniversary message. At one point in the show audience members were asked to come up on the stage and try their luck at the dancing though the clacking bamboo. I ...

Hi just a quick entry. Had today off so spent it with Uta, Betina in Hua Hin. Spent the morning by the beach, hot or what!! Was nice and secluded then we went to the hairdresser the other two had their hair done whilst I had a facial...it was lovely one hour seven pounds!!! Then we went to dinner at an Italian, Edwin (the owner of the rescue centre) recommended it and it was ...

tonight is the big night market in cha-am. in thai it is "talaad nad". the literal translation is "temporary market". it just happens to be held at night. actually it starts to set up around 3pm. the best time to go is 4 or 5 pm when all the vendors are there but the customers are still at work. also the food is fresh. there are hundred of food vendors at these things. they are like sidewalk kitchens dishing out such delicacies as sausage salad, fried fish, fried ...

... ago and it is very pretty, we found out later that the train "The Orient Express" still runs through here. After lunch we were feeling the heat so we went to a Thai massage parlor and both had a massage which is a first for both of us. Brian had a traditional massage and I had an oil massage. It is so cheap as it cost us 300 baht each for 1 hour which is $11 each. It was also air conditioned which was a ...

... so I assumed the boys had taken them but thought it was weird that they'd left my clothes but they said they hadn't so I assume someone passing by took them. Weird. So I had to walk back to the hotel shoeless and buy some more the next morning. Had a great time at the sanctuary again, bar a few Edwin being an ******* incidents, as well as a couple of people there being a bit annoying, but things have changed a bit and it ...
