The Motorcycle Was A Bit Wobbly,

so a touch of air in both tyres,



it takes a month or two but both slowly lose air,


 the owner of the shop is wearing the white gloves, in any event 10 baht later and we were on our way,

 we parked behind the TukCom Center,

 and made our way past the front of it on Pattaya Tai,

 the main entrance,

 for some reason the traffic going towards the Sumkivitt Road was at a standstill,

 whereas Soi Bukaow was almost empty of cars and buses,

 the first stall I walked past was the banana one, 

 and then the general goods stall,

 I always see so many things we could do with on these stalls, buy whatever it is only to put it in a drawer and they forget about it, but it was so useful at the time if you see what I mean,

 if you do not have a stall the ground is your pitch,

 the aquatic stall in the middle of the market,

 as you might expect plenty of fresh fruit,

 the other aquatic stall, the shop is here all week, the aquariums with fish put outside for just the Tuesday and Friday market days,

 soda bottles with Siamese fighting fish, (Betta splendens), in them,

 I made my way out of the market past some of the souvenir stalls,

 to the Kodak shop,

 it is almost opposite the new Friendship wing,

 the aquarium as nice as ever in the shop,

 the Regal Tang, (Paracanthurus hepatus) looking so healthy,

 I made my way across Pattaya Tai, the traffic,

 still backed up along the Soi,

 walking towards Friendship,

 the car/motorcycle park was also packed,

 shopping finished next stop the back of TukCom,

 to the coffee stall for a couple of take aways,

 after our evening meal we settled down to watch Mr. Holmes, a bittersweet look at his later life and a case he can not remember that had an unexpected ending, delightful in some ways and so sad in others,

we followed that with Kidnapping Mr. Heineken, yes that one, the one the beer is named after, based on a true story it follows the kidnapping and after that the deterioration of friendships and trust in the gang, an interesting if not that exciting film and based on actual events, a few from Border Patrol, a couple from Judge Judy and we were off to bed.
