Tom and Tae take us to BKK where the new airport
was efficient, friendly (absent of protesters) and our
flight to Siem Reap went very smoothly.
Tom was a gracious and informative tour guide of
this Heritage Park "Ancient Siam" which featured
ALL of Thailand's history and then some. Very well
done and HUGE! She had also arranged a very
convenient hotel for us afterward and called for us
the next day to enjoy the cinema before the ride to
the airport. We certainly hope she can visit us in the
US some day so we can return the favor.
Waiting outside Yupadee's shop house and keeping company
with the newspaper lady while waiting for the pick up
from Tom and Tae. We're down to four bags. Wishing
Rotraud was around to give us a bad time about it tho.
The BanPong ferry is still running and an early morning
stroll allowed us to catch the photo on the nice still
river. A dinner conversation with Yupadee about possible
strategies to help clean up some of the litter on the river
bank led to her calling her brother, the mayor, which in
turn resulted in an effort of a pick up crew while we were
gone. It looked better.
During the two months we had been gone, Chinese
New Year happened and this festive decorating
of the town clock tower was a distinctive improvement.
We quite liked it in red and gold.
