Chilling out in Bangkok.

Yes, both of us are glad to be back in Bangkok.
It certainly has changed since our first visit in 1973,
And we enjoy the longer stay in an apartment.
 
Our grand-daughter is probably off to uni in Canberra next year, so I have started knitting some scarves for her. This first one is a colour changing huge ball of wool, so I am doing it in moss stitch. Who ever mixed the colours in the world was on something. !!20241222_233915.jpg
 
So the breakfast spr ead at the MEA. Extensive but not all great quality. Start with the hot pastry type stuff. This has never varied, The sandwiches are ham and cheese, The jams and cereals have not changed either.

The mixed salads at the back change depending on what has been left over from the day before;
Then the yoghurts and stewed fruits.

Nice fruit with some daily changes.

Eggs and bacon and most days sliced ham.

Veggies.

Then a place for pizza which disappears quickly but always a Japanese curry, a miso soup and another hot asian dish. often a Thai curry but today was a chicken tonkatsu. But no pictures of those. Next a vegetarian corner. # Indian dishes which have looked unappetising and 3 Thai dishes -fried rice, a noodle dish and stir fried vegetable.

So after breakfast we caught the shuttle up to the station and looked around the Emporium.

Then we went over to the Em Quartier and had lunch at our favourite Thai Restaurants -Nara. Mrsdrron loves their pomelo salad and I went with a pork eggplant and chilli dish Very spicy but nice.

Now it was after 2pm and from 2-5pm in Thailand no alcohol can be sold. So Mrsdrron had a lemongrass drink and I went with butterfly pea.
