I Had To Go To A Friends Bank Today,

it, the bank was almost opposite Soi Bukaow,

 looking across Pattaya Tai the entrance to Soi Bukaow market is on the right of the building,

this was what I was looking at, it appears to be a totally refurbished Honda dealership, so it looks like at least one company out here is expecting increased sales,

 on the way back to where I parked my motorbike I noticed this minibike, they seem to be getting smaller and smaller every time I see one,

and this is where I parked my bike,

 the Friendship car and motorbike park,

 later in the afternoon we called in at the market, in the far distance just above the tents there is the Ripley's Believe It Or Not tethered balloon,

 the article states that the charges are for Thais 1,000 baht and foreigners 1,500 baht for each 10-minute ride,

but until Sky Rider officially opens in May, Ripley’s is running a morning special, offering rides for 300 baht each from 7-11 a.m. from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Ripley’s offers a buy one-get one free discount ticket offer,

 but back down on the ground we had some fruit buying to do,

 some fresh yellow sweet mangoes for later this evening,

 rather like apples there are countless different varieties of mangoes,

 as well as bananas,

 low cloud continued to move in which did not bode well for this evenings sky gazing,

 Diana making our last purchases, then home for our evening meal, after eating a quick look outside to see if the sky was clear, unfortunately not only was it very cloudy it was also raining, so that put paid to this evenings moon gazing,

we watched a number of shows on the Crime and Investigation channel, then another episode from Silent Witness, this episode Home, the pathologists travel to South Africa, Nikki Alexander's childhood country and it is not long before that country's troubled past catches up with them, as it was now in the early hours of the morning we were off to bed.
