Visiting Ban Huai Yang for the second time was exiting. We lived here so long so seeing everything again was like coming home. Here are just some pics from the latest couple of days... Axel at the market in Dan Singh Kohn Sten contemplating his next buy. On the "motoboppen"...

The day after visiting Black Mountain Water Park we had just about one week left. There were still things we hadn't done, like going with the little train to Hua Hin. Sunday morning by the pool was a little cloudy and we thought it cold (26 celcius?) so Mathias asked if we wanted to go to Ban Krut? Why of course! I did a quick packing and squeezed in the bottle for Sten and both kid's teddies just in case we wouldn' make it back the same night. We hopped in the motorbike and off we went. First stop was Thap Sakae, the little cute town a couple of miles south. We had lunch at the noodle soup bar like we did once before.

We have been busy these last couple of weeks. Saturday before Christmas we went to the market in Dan SingKohn right by the border to Burma (Myanmar).

Mathias is hooked on sarongs (pa kao mah's) so he got yet another pair. The wrapping had the text "Longyi for Executives" which should fit be appropriate! However I am not sure executives back home would dare wearing them to work, that is yet to be found out... Sten had a good time, Axel did too. I bought two small gifts for them aswell, a xylophone for Sten and an egg for Axel that would crack when put into water and magically turn into a turtle. I would love to go back there but I don't think there will be time, and there is only so much space left in the suitcases... Christmas was  like any other day, except for the gifts exchanging.
