A little of yesterday, a little today - now with VIDEO!

Yesterday early we went to Chinatown to find the crossroads where the restaurants take over the street. Up and down Yaowarat Road, spread out through the side streets and parallel streets. Nothing. We asked some travel agency folks once we returned to Khoa San - they told us Yaowarat Rd and another cross street. We had been there like 5 times earlier and no restaurants on any corner of that intersection. We thought the travel folks were full of dodo. Despite this, last night we headed out. No restaurants in any building in the intersection. However, seating for 2 or 3 hundred had materialized, on the sidewalk, in the street, guys standing on stools, handing out numbers, calling the lucky with low numbers who now get to sit at rickety old steel folding tables and chairs and order their dinner. Among the hundreds of hopefuls, families of a dozen, from newborns to centurions, waiting for the most wonderful Chinese style seafood dinners.

On the way to dinner we stopped at the train station for our tickers to Hau Hin. I got us lost three times getting to the station. 

Today we went to Arun Wat and and the medical museum at Siri Hospital. The Wat was impressive as you can see by the photos. The museum was just really creepy. I finally just had a seat in a waiting area and let Kim finish her tour. You can ask her about it. Thanks a lot Monty. 

At the pool his afternoon, on the 6th floor, basically in the bedlam of Khoa San road, not a sound from the street, just bird song and the beautiful incantation from the Muslim church next door calling the faithfull to prayer. A well deserved 2 1/2 hour nap for Lou, then to the street. Joined the throng of thousands up Rambuttri and then down Khoa San and back. Went way down Rambuttri, so far that we both doubted any possibility of finding food, when out of nowhere a winderful Indian restaurant - food SO good. BIG meal, quart of beer, $15. The Bombay Blues. Go if in Thailand.

And now to bed. Hau Hin tommorow, up at 5:45 and at the water bus by 6:20. Pictures to follow.
