Pilton resort

Tuesday Ann and Arnold drove into Huai Yang right before lunchtime. We met them at Pilton resort- a real simple one room hideout on the main street in Huai Yang. They had a rental car from Cha-am but kids wanted to go in the saleng anyway so we took off for Tamarind where the kids wanted to eat. However, they are closed for lunch so we decided on Maew's instead. Halfway there we parked the saleng at the Golf Range and everyone hopped in the car- to not have to go both by car and saleng in parallell. Good food as usual and she greeted with a "Hello how are you" (that I could not reply in Thai at that time). 

Arnold took me to rent a bike for 20 days. I had great use of the bikes we had belonging to the house last year.

For dinner we went down to Nishaville beach, to the simple beach stands. We had pizza and the kids played with the flashlights.

Wednesday I had had in mind to go for massage, foot scrub and hair cut. When I came to Da's she only had one slot at 4 o'clock, which I decided to take. Previously, you could not book times, but now with all farangs, it is a necessity. I asked if she could colour my eyebrows, and she said, yes, I have colour. So I asked if it was the colouring that I gave her last year (brought from Sweden) but she said she now had found a place to buy it. 

So, in the meantime I went for a massage at Tim's. No time slots for foot scrub either, and even not Christmas eve. So I had too book for Friday, I really want one girl to do my feet, since she is the best.

I went to the gardening & pottery place on the winding road down to the Jasmine-road and had a chat with the girl there. Unfortunately, most things are too heavy to bring back home. She had a cute little pup, and all in all 14 dogs (of which I saw a few ), all neutered. While I was there it started raining so I stayed for a while longer and had to cast away the plans on biking to the plastic IKEA store and later to Maew's for lunch.

Instead I met up with the family for lunch at Kaew's. I took the motorbike this time so that I could go shopping later. I did some driving around Huay Yang, good to do some strolling on my own: Plastic store, Pop's, cash machine at Si shop. That's just about what there is to do here when it comes to shopping, markets excluded.

I went back to the house with my groceries, and back to Da's and Sten came along. He also wanted a hair cut. 

So now I look this lovely:

Mathias had booked the late ferry from Koh Tao and finally arrived in Huay Yang after dinner. We were still at Tamarind when he showed up- walking. Stupidly enough I had locked the doors while away from house- so he was unable to get in.

Final days on Koh Tao

After the second birthday cake of the year, the one for my birthday, we had no plans. We could go to Bangkok or south to Hua Hin or Huay Yang. Mathias wanted to take Axel diving or snorkeling, so we decided to go to Koh Tao. Could be fun showing the kids where mom and dad had been so many times. Took an early ferry Friday, a day with no wind (1m/s). The Lompraya pier in Chumpon Since decision was made quite hastily, we had an interesting journey to Chumpon. First one taxi to Huay Yang where we planned to have dinner at Maew's, but Maew's was closed. She was there since they have a shop which was open.  However, they don't serve food. She has lost a lot of weight and seem to be really sick, so I guess that is why. We had to eat so we went on to "Blå stolarna". A little tricky since they don't speak much English. Mathias got a ride with the nearby hairdresser back to Maew's to wait for the taxi driver. I ate with the kids in the meantime. No taxi came ...

Happy New Year 2015!

Today was Axels 7th birthday! I can't believe how much he has grown. He sure isn't that little boy anymore.  Last night we went to Kaew's restaurant for New Year's Party. Sten fell asleep at 8.30. We did some more drinks and desserts and headed back home one hour later. The food was good and we could have had 5 free drinks on the ticket but we did not manage that, as you probably understand. Kaew did not have as big a party as last year. Maybe people choose the beach (Jack's, Nong Pu's or some new place this year?) Last year it was crowded.  She had the girls doing traditional thai dancing like last year, very impressive and very cute. I will upload picture later. ( I still haven't found a way of charging my camera's battery so I am relying on Axel and Mathias's photos whenever I get a hold of them. Took one with the tablet though, of my sweet boys! Today we went to Black Mountain Water Park like previous years to celebrate Axel's birth...
