A Quick Trip Into Town,

was made a bit longer,


 as we were stopped by the police, all was in order for us, but looking at the 40 or more driverless motorcycles parked up at the intersection of Soi 17 and Third Road, a lot of people were having problems, as usual we parked up opposite The Grande Day/Night Hotel,

 and walked towards TukCom,

 passing the side entrance,

 we made our way into Pattaya Tai,

 past the new building,

  next to Friendship,

 Diana went shopping, and for me a 200 baht visit to the dentist to have a crown reglued,

 next back to TukCom to meet up with Diana and then home,

 in the evening we were out again,

 Diana stopping to take a photograph of a flower,

 we made our way to the 10 baht bus stop,

 and we soon arrived at the weekend night market on Thepprasit Road, 

 I alighted at the start of the market, Diana stayed on the baht bus as she was going to Tesco Lotus,

 I made my way past the drinks stalls,

 and one of the mobile fruit sellers,

 when I saw this T shirt, my thoughts exactly!

 slight hazy cloud,

 looking towards Jomtien,


slightly clearer looking inland,

 the toy stall not yet set up,

 I thought this looked cute, mermaid costumes,

 so colourful, 

 opposite the bar this evening, a stall selling shorts, and although not yet set up, one selling shoes,

 the upstairs car park escalator still under wraps,

 the fruit stall ready to go,

 and in the wicker shop,

 a black Japaneses style dress,

 with a nice pattern on the lower front of it,

 I really like walking past this shop, the aroma is just so nice,

 the pet section,

 one of the shops has just had a delivery,

 and the aquatic shop owner at the far end of the row is doing some maintenance,

 sunset over the market,

 a fellow shopper casts a long shadow as the sun goes down,

 past the shorts stall,

 and I sat at the bar watching the shoe stall stocking up, 


 it was another night that the sky put on a nice display,

 Diana joined me at the bar, 

 and as night crept in,

 we made a move onto a baht bus and then a short walk,

 past the Chinese restaurant,

 and the Jomtien Complex,

 for our evening meal,

 at the Pig and Whistle,

 outside a nice water feature,

 inside we choose a window seat,

 we started with a shared plate,

 of spring rolls,

Diana chose a Thai dish,


'Cheers!',

 whilst for myself, liver and bacon,   
  
meal over we made a move for home, where after a nightcap, a couple from The Antiques Road Show and we were off to bed.
