We Popped Over To Naklua Today,

to post some papers,

 in the FedEx office there,

for anyone that lives or stays in Pattaya it appears there are many FedEx 'offices' in Pattaya, but this is the one that all of the packages end up in, the good news is that if you drop something off here before 3.30 in the afternoon it will leave that day to start its journey,

 to find the office go to the dolphin roundabout and go towards Naklua, about 200 yards on the right you will see this sign, beside a courtyard with a water feature in it, the office is at the far end of the courtyard,

 our next stop was at TukCom to pick up our printer, but it was bad news, instead of being serviced the printer was beyond repair, which in all honesty I had half expected, so we bought a new one which was going to take 40 minutes or so to charge with ink, so downstairs and outside to a new coffee bar/restaurant, the Coffee Club,

 we decided to sit outside,

 the view from the Coffee Club looking towards Pattaya Tai, the coffee shop is on the ground floor of TukCom,

 a mango special for Diana,

 an ice latte coffee for myself,

 we went back to the shop and for 3,900 baht (at today's rate $111.17 or £77.57) we became the proud owners of a Epson L120 printer,

in case you are not familiar with it the printer has it's own refillable bottles on the side of it, from the blurb:

‘Epson's smallest 4-colour, A4, Ink Tank System (ITS) printer features Micro Piezo printhead technology and Epson genuine ink so users can print Epson-quality at an ultra-low cost, the L120 offers affordable printing and a low cost per print, each set of ink bottles can print up to 4,000 pages in black and 6,500 pages in colour, delivering an ultra-low cost per page for both black and colour printing, the purpose-built ink tank is fully integrated into the printer, so you can enjoy reliable colour printing without the mess or hassle often associated with non-genuine refills and third-party ink tank systems.’

so I guess Epson gave up to the other make refillable ink systems and made their own, hopefully it will last longer than the last one,

after our evening meal and a few from Judge Judy we settled down for a couple from Lewis, and very enjoyable they were too, with that we were off to bed.
