Laem Charoen Seafood

After lunch at Laem Charoen Seafood, Mengjai Intersection, the rain pours so hard that Mother has to wear a raincoat.

Singapore

Dear and I went to Singapore during August 16-18. We stayed at the Swissotel at Raffles City. The purpose of this visit was sightseeing and to see what's going on there since our last visit about 16 years ago.

The Esplanade

Singapore at night.

We have buffet breakfast at the hotel's coffee shop, which is beautifully decorated.

Crispy roasted duck.

The Thai milk tea at Thai Express tastes like dishwater.

Dear is ready for a luge ride at the Sentosa.

We watch "Captain Lucky" 4-D pictures at the Sentosa.

The Boat Quay is lively with a lot of western tourists eating and hanging around.

There were a few exhibitions at the Esplanade when we were there.

It's quite difficult to take pictures of the Esplanade due to strong sunlight.

Dear is posed with the "Unphotographable" advertising billboard at the MRT.

This picture is taken and retouched by Dear.

P' Vor and Khun Sivaporn enjoys eating Pa-tong-go and durean at the Yaowarad office, although they have just finished fried mussels (Hoi Tod) lunch.

Khun Sivaporn likes Pa-tong-go at Yaowarad so much that he asks the vendor to prepare him the XXL.

Mother's 86th Birthday

Mother hosts her birthday lunch at Yim Yim Restaurant, Yaowarad.

Dear turns red after working outdoor in the sunlight at Satahip beach for 2 days.

After the merits making, we treat her to lunch at Leo Liang Seng near Montien Hotel.

Mother will be 86 years old on August 13. Today she makes merits by paying respect and offering the food to the monks at Vachirayan Building, Chulalongkorn Hospital.

After watching the movie "United 93", Dear and I have lunch at Greyhound Cafe at the Emporium. We love the Apple Crumble there.
