We Had A Quiet Day,

in the morning Mr. Tony called round,

then in the late afternoon Mick and Ja called round, then we were off to Prichai seafood restaurant,

 it is located in Ban Ampur, (spelt as it sounds) a few miles past the Ambassador Hotel, there is a huge selection of live seafood available, like these swimming crabs,

 or these slightly larger crabs similar to those we have in the UK,

and here are two that were chosen earlier,

 also lots of prawns, 

 and shellfish,

 this tank has both clams and mantis shrimps in it,

 this one super huge mussels,

 sunset, unfortunately the sun then disappeared behind some clouds so it was not as nice as some we have seen,

 Mick and Ja,

 I guess due to Christmas and the New Year celebrations there were large numbers of people visiting Pattaya, many of whom decided on a meal here, so for the first time we have seen it there were tables set up on the sand,

 as well as seafood fried rice we had a selection of other dishes, steamed mussels, prawns and morning glory,

 before the next course arrived there was a bit of fun, a juggling, harmonica playing elephant appeared on the sand,

 which was a bit of a surprise for some,

 but then it was time to give the elephant a sugar cane treat,

our next course then appeared, tom yum goong, we chose the coconut milk version, followed by curried crab with some more seafood fried rice. after saying our goodbyes we settled down to another episode of Columbo, three more from Cheers and then for us we were off to bed.
