We Then Entered Another Dangerous Area,

a lava field,


 you could almost feel the heat!

 this was new for this visit, a plaque, showing you where to stand for the best shot and a likely pose to adopt,

 we then moved on to the Egyptian section,

 who knows what treasures are hidden beneath the stone?

 or up this flight of stars,

 we had now gone up 1 floor, this is the view looking down on the main exhibition area,

 a section of the floor has given way so we can look in the treasures below,

 what is that saying? you can take a camel to water but you can not make it drink, I know it should be horse!

 and what is better than being on a flying carpet?

 being on one with your older sister!

 or on a paper airplane with your younger brother,

 just when you thought Songkran was finished it starts again,

 Sandio, 

 then Doishane grows wings,

 in a garden,

 looking like an angel,

 Mum takes a walk in the garden too,

 whilst Albert make a Sandio,

 all ready for a barn dance,

 or staring in a film,

 heres a new one, turtle surfing,

 enlightenment,

 and a school for ballerinas,

 mind the knife!

 it always looks strange,

 when you see yourself,

 in a mirror!

 scary dinosaurs next,

 big ones!

 another case of  'look out behind you!',

 and keep an eye out for pterosaurs,


 especially if you are thinking of boiling one of their eggs,

 next across the bridge, 

 to Venice,

 but try to keep your feet dry,

 some doors just should not be opened!

 Lilliput next as we are made to feel small,

 so what is the name of the other country in Gulliver's Travels where everyone is big?

 well we are half way there,

 with little Bro telling big Sis off,

 and now they are both telling even bigger Sis off, the other country by the way was Blefuscu, where Gulliver was tiny,


 we were by now at the end of the show, thew last exhibits were dioramas of life in Thailand,

 on the roads,

 or on water,

 even Songkran made an appearance,

 and of course food malls,

 then a last look at the final exhibit,

 and we made our way to the exit,

the cost to enter the exhibition is 500 baht each, unless you are a Thai national or can show a Thai driving licence, then the entrance fee goes down to 180 baht each, it is situated off of Second Road just past Big C north, this is the view looking towards Second Road,


and the view looking toward the road that runs behind Big C where there is a shop that sells so many household items it is almost untrue,

I dropped the girls off at the Tuesday market in Soi Bukaow, and for ease of travelling around town jumped on my bike, I had to drop off Diana's lap top to Wattana Computers, it is just opposite Foodland, some of the keys had started not to work, the picture is of the side entrance,


on the way back I called in at a few garden centers, we needed some long pieces of bamboo for Diana's tomato plants, the girls actually beat me back so Diana took a couple of pictures of me with the bamboo, we do not need them as long as this but this was the shortest they sold,

I do not know why, but the people that sold me the bamboo and help secure it to my bike did nothing but laugh as I pulled away from the garden center, strange, on the good news front I had only been home a couple of hours when Wattana Computers called to say the lap top needed a new keyboard, 1,800, if that was OK call in at 5.00 in the afternoon to collect it, what great service, so over I went and all is well,


after our evening meal, we all decided to watch the first of the Jurassic Park trilogy, none of Diana's family had seen it befor, so it was all new to them, next we had been chatting about The Chase, a game show that Diana and myself find so enjoyable, so we watched two of those and then we were all ready for bed.
