Thailand—Saturday, July 17, 2010

What a joyful weekend I had! On Saturday Morning we left for the beach. Along the way, we were able to view the country side and it was much different from Bangkok. We traveled through rural country side to reach the Prachuapkhirikhan Province. We relaxed by the seaside at the Beach Garden Hotel Cha Am. I walked along the beach and collected many sea shells but I had to be aware of the jelly fish that were in the shallow water and washed upon the shore. There were signs alerting us the dangers of the jelly fish sting !We then journeyed to Plearnwarn, which is a historical place that only the very rich people could come to during their stay at the beach. After visiting many shops there, I had my portrait done and then Sorn and her staff took me to get my hair done! I was given a Thai head massage during the process and it was like heaven! My hair also looked fantastic! In the evening we came back to Bangkok and went to a Western (Cowboy) Style restaurant called Robinson Ratchada. In addition to traditional Thai food, we also had Margaritas and steak! We are going back Monday night to do some county line dancing and maybe drink some more margaritas!
