So, we return from Hua Hin to find a smelly flat, dust everywhere and broken aircon. Boo. But, to compensate and while they clean mine we are put up in the Chatrium Hotel. Very nice! We were a bit worried about the see-through shower but luckily it had a blind. The view of the river was great and we spent Saturday having a lazy morning with a room service breakfast.

We then were treated to a Thai meal of titanic proportions at June and Adul's. Thank you very much it was delicious! Chicken satay, yellow curry, stir fried vegetables, Tom Yum Goong and mango and sticky rice for dessert! What a treat!
In the following days Ben made the most of the pool, visited Wat Po, went to Chatuchak market and had a look around Patpong!
On Tuesday night we went to Iron Fairies. Working iron mongers by day, amazing burger restaurant by night! It was very dark, but had amazing decorations and atmosphere. And the burgers...oh good lord!
On Ben's last night we went to Harmonique for some more Thai food, where we had the sesame chicken - definitely a favourite now!

Hi Hols
ReplyDeleteAs Mum may have written, we went to visit Bob and Anna today and had great fun spoiling the three Grandchildren.
The great thing is that at the end of the day - when I have wound them up we can leave them and drive home in peace.
I was searching the new/blog list and came across this Blog. I thought of you.
