Day 5 - Sunday

Vicky directed the driver and brought us to a place called 'Siam Celadon Pottery' that sells clay/porcelain wares. She needed to get a tea set for her forthcoming Wedding and she did find one :) whilst I got some more small items like incense holders, sauce dishes.

As the no. of days we would be staying at the hotel had been miscalculated(pre-paid on our behalf for 2 nights only), we're to decide today if we would like to stay on this hotel or move to another. Hearing our comments, they also urged us to make the change and we did. The other hotel cost slightly cheaper but the room and even the hotel itself was better :)

We were about to enjoy a cup of nice coffee at the hotel lobby after our re-location check-in when Vicky got another call from Sam and as we have to detour to his home to pick him up, we left without finishing our coffees. We then headed to another place(can't remember the name hee) that sells all the articrafts - daddy's favourite! He managed to get a pc of articraft for our home(but we realised upon reaching home that it was a little too big for the place he's intended it for) and Vicky also found the 'containers' to hold/keep the bear which the hotel(Conrad) would be providing her to give away as her Wedding favors and also the scented candles she would need for her home buffet table. I got a big bag of scented scones myself too :D

On our way back to the hotel, we stopped by the road stall and Sam bought some lychees.






Renee has already had an early dinner of porridge in the hotel but she requested for more, so I cooked some more macaroni for her to eat in the restaurant(which she finished all as well). For our dinner, we went(on our own) to Khum Khantoke where one dines in the midst of entertainment. The dances were not very professionally performed(both daddy & I had a little laugh about it) but it was nevertheless, a form of experience to us. We took quite alot of shots of Renee in this restaurant(it's a pity we let her wore the nicer dress the night before, thinking we were coming here then) and as we were seated right infront of the floor 'stage' and it looked as if she was in the midst of the performances too hahaha.(Before we went out, I finally found out the reason of my lethargy the past 2 days - my 'dai yi mai' finally visited me lolz).



This is the photo taken by the restaurant's photographer, very well taken :)

Day 6 - Monday

We went out in search of breakfast this morning but as most stalls were not opened yet and we were quite sick of the western style breakfast, we decided to just buy some teriyaki burger + hotdog sandwiches from the 7-Eleven store. I even got a couple of necessities which I found useful but not available here. On our way back, although it was a short walk back, we took the Tu Tu(or is it 'tut tut'?) car for the experience :)

Renee's been asking for ice-cream during the trip and her dad finally relented to her request when we were waiting for our food to be 'cooked' at the 7-Eleven store. And after I've got Renee's lunch(fed her in the hotel) and dinner(packed for her to eat when we're waiting for our Int'l flight) cooked/packed, we set off to the airport.



This is the shot Renee's taken at one of the Duty Free counters, looked pro huh? :D

It's funny how an airport can have sooo many counters selling the same brand of spa products and seeing them all around, I couldn't help but purchased a spa shower gel and some mini hotpress(es) to try :D - I was actually very keen to buy the shower gel which I've tried at 'The Barai' spa but I didn't get to enquire about it due to the rush...

Oh ya, I finally got to try their famous dessert - 'Red Ruby'! Whilst having dinner at the airport(the food's good), I recalled seeing Sam's mom and aunt hving it the previous night, I thought I should give it a try since it's kinda like one of their signature dishes. Verdict : Hmmm, I prefer the Singapore style's, heee.
