I Did Not Do A Lot Today,

in fact spent most of it on the Internet, now that the overinflated price of Blu-Ray DVD's has come down in the UK, many at 2 for £10, I am looking at buying a Blu-Ray player, I particularly liked the Sony BDP S550 which sells in the UK for about £170.00 (Sony retail price £229.99) I will take a stroll along to Big C next week as there is a Sony dealership there to check out the price of one, also a 5 speaker system, the problem being my Internet is so slow it takes forever for a page to load, any way whilst waiting for pages to load I started to watch 2012 to pass the time, Mark called round just then so we watched the special effects, great stuff!

then it was market time, so off to Thepprasit,

a new light stall that we had not seen before,

it was early so not many people around,

behind us the new Isuzu X series D-Max, no prices on display unfortunately, I did not want to ask or I would have been there all night,

theses are just great, mini crash helmets for miniature dogs, so many Thai people have small dogs with them whilst riding motorcycles, so why not buy a crash hat for the dog? the shame of it all is so often the owners do not wear a crash hat themselves,

then Mick and Mass called over for a beer or two,

'Ah!'

the girls back from a shopping fest,

there are more and more coaches dropping tourist off at the market than ever like this highly colored one,

then it was off to Margaritavile for Mikes birthday party, opposite him is Brian,

it is in Soi Rungland, easy to spot because of this huge parrot,

it is right outside the bar, pool table inside,

Mike opens his present from Rick, now all set for Songkran!

and some flowers for Mike,

Anchsia and Riza wish him the best,

there were so many guests, food is nearly ready,

meanwhile on with the drinks,

opposite Mike is Rick, also Don was there he has his back to the camera, famous for driving around Pattaya with a scarlet macaw on the back of his motorbike, then home for bed.
