We Decided To Pop Out To The Market,

so we parked opposite the hotel that was being refurbished,

 at the rear of the TukCom Centre,

 making our way past,

 some of the food sellers on the street,

 Pattaya Tai was quiet as there was a parking ban with tickets being given out to those motorist that tried their luck by ignoring the ban and those riding without crash helmets,

 in the distance was another reason why Pattaya Tai was so quiet,

 there was a no left turn for cars sign in the street which lead into Soi Bukaow,

 so there was not a queue of taxis waiting to pick up shoppers,

 into the market I went, we both chose different routes,

 no excuses for being late on this stall!

 I had not bought a dress for Diana in a long time,

 so she will have a surprise when we get home,

 I made my way to the pet and garden section,

 lots of flowers to look at,

 and of course orchids, 

 there were a couple of stalls selling them,

 they are so easy to grow out here,

 as are these mini orange trees,

 but the fruits are so bitter,

 I made my way out of the market past one of the many mobile stalls, 

 and motorbike shop on the corner, in the morning before we left for the market Mick called round for a coffee and a chat, also our computer was picked up, but when we returned home we watched some cable television, after our evening meal it was a episode from each of the Hungry Sailors, Murdock Mysteries, The Chase and finally one from Rumpole, after which we were off to bed.
