A tour staff picked us up at the airport, so we went to our hotel directly.
There welcome drink was served.
In conclusion, staying hotel was a good choice.
And the hotel we stayed was very good.
Unfortunately our daughter M caught the flu, not staying with them was good for everyone.
For me, it was really difficult to accept local Thai meals, but at the hotel they serve some popular Thai meal for breakfast at buffet style. So I really enjoyed Thai meals.
And "we" also enjoyed the hotel life without looking for anyone and anything.
Well, let's go back to the first day activity.
As soon as we arrived in the hotel, we headed to M's house.
We didn't know when Ah-chan would catch the flu. If she caught the flu, we wouldn't have spent together the next day. (I hope this sentence makes sense. What I wanted to say is that on the day she was still fine, but we didn't know what would happen to her the next day.)
And we wanted to give presents we bought.
M said that they could call a taxi at the hotel. So we went there by taxi. It cost 100 baht.
Though ah-chan was coughing, they were fine.
M served coffee.
It was very good. I knew that Thai coffee was very famous.
Did you know it? I bought Doi Tung coffee beans.
I thought that Thai products would be inexpensive or cheap. It was wrong. There are many products with good quality, and with the same price as Japanese ones. Fortunately they are not so expensive.
This bag of coffee costs about 700 yen.
Well, after a short visit, we had to go back to our hotel.
How?
M caught "Sh-low". I searched this word in English. But I didn't find it.
It is not tuk-tuk. Tuk-tuk has three tires, but "sh-low" has four tires and it is a truck.
"sh-low" runs in residential areas, and doesn't go so far. Usually local people especially foreign wives whos husbands work in Bang Kong like M 's family.
It seems to be a little bit difficult to "hail" one on the street, and of course they are caught only on the street.
Where am I?
According to M, the price is different depends on the area. Around this area, it costs 20 baht to the nearest station, so total it cost 40 baht. it took 10 minute.We don't need to pay any tips.
We were really surprised to M's behavior. She got very strong, and seemed to get used to Thai local lives. We were very proud of her. On the other hand "I" was little sad that she was independent from "me".
We took BTS (train) to the nearest station to our hotel. It cost 26 bath. it took 10 minutes.
On the way to the hotel, we had dinner --- at a Mexican restaurant along the street.
Because. it is said in the restaurant where there are Western foreigners, you never get the runs.
And also said it is of course all right to eat anything in Japanese restaurants.
We found this Japanese noodle shop. Yuki likes this one, But I don't like this type even we are in Japan.
When we got to our room, we took a bath.
There were shower and bath sink. In both of them there are two tubes.
One is usual tube, and the one is ???? Probably it is for bauble water. Is it right?
It was a nice hotel, but anyway we were in Thailand.
So though it is all right, usually we don't dispose the toilet paper.
Additionally, M said "be careful of having pet bottles."
Did you find the difference between Japanese one and Thai one?
The lid is thin. So water might spill from the bottle, if we put carelessly in the bag (it means the bottle lies)
