We had a bit of a quiet day yesterday because of Ethan not being well, we caught a taxi to the airport and not any taxi a lovely silver and grey minibus with hot pink leather seats.....it was such a contradiction from the outside to the inside....photo to follow....
A quick flight down to Bangkok and once you get over the smog layer there was a beautiful blue sky with fabulous sunshine....you can't see the sun or blue sky because of the smog and the smog is causing our hay- fever /sinus no ends of trouble......we are so lucky at home as we have nothing like the smog that these places have....looking forward to seeing blue sky's, sun and green grass.......
The taxi driver that brought us to the hotel was so funny, he videoed the kids and I in the back seat to send to his friend, not sure why we would warrant that sort of attention but maybe we looked funny......
We passed a motorcade that had the Prime Minister in it, he then told us that he liked her and was a yellow shirt, the protests are scheduled to start on Monday and there were flyers at the hotel saying that there would be major disruptions when they start and to stay away from the areas that they had listed.....we are lucky that we are not going to be here then......
The taxi driver hit another car while making another lane, all he did was wave his hand and said oh sorry, and they both drove away, I can't imagine having a nice car here...well it wouldn't be nice for long...
I forgot to tell you that we saw a European couple at the Hill Tribe place and the lady was carrying a dog a little Pomeranian, we thought that they must have lived here and were just out on a Sunday afternoon drive, well we saw them at the markets and I asked them did they live here.....no the lady said they flew in from Belgium, so next question was how did you get the dog in, oh easy he is under 3kgs so he was hand luggage and he was in a crate at my feet under the seat in front for 14 hours.....now Abby I'm sorry but you would not be that well behaved to sit under the seat for 14 hours and then get carried around with 5 million of our nearest and dearest all around us, so you will have to stay with Grandma & Grandpa......

| Inside of the cab, bit different from the pimped up one... |
 |
| Traffic jam, we must have sat in it for 20 minutes... |
 |
| There is 2 cement places and to the right is like a shanty town where people are living under tarps and tin shacks. |
 |
| View from the room down to the river. |
 |
| More traffic to the other side..... |
 |
| At the very top of this building where the round thing is there was a man standing there pulling up a rope, from where we are it looks like there is no guard rail or anything but it is very hard to see.. |
 |
| Looking down to the street there is rubbish everywhere in the block to the left.... |
 |
| Our room, that is before we opened all our bags and made a huge mess.. |
 |
| The sitting area in our room. |
 |
| Bath anyone.... |
 |
| The traffic last night it just doesn't end.... |
