Day 155 - Chivas Regal, Loy Kratong Festival and laundry!


Loy Kratong Festival

Day 155 - 25th November

Not too bad. Last time I had it when I was ten!

So my day started more healthy than usual with museli and banana. It was OK but half an hour later I was hungry again.

We found a laundry place offering one kg for 30 Baht so we put some in before heading off for the daily ritual of chicken and rice. They lost half our order, partly down to Matt's accent and partly down to them just not understanding. Saving Private Ryan was on so not all was lost.

We headed to the Mynt Lounge as usual but with a purpose. We'd decided to buy a bottle of Chivas Regal between us and just sit all day on bar stools and enjoy it. When we arrived, Joy, Emmi and the girls said the owner wouldn't sell it to us. He did say we could go out and buy a bottle from Family Mart for 1,600 Baht and pay him 3,000 Baht to drink it in his bar. Seemed like a good deal!

The floats

So we had two shots of Chivas each and a few Changs before joining the others to celebrate Loy Kratong Festival, a water based festival where the locals put money on small flower floats and push them into streams for good luck. It was good fun to watch and be a part of.

Afterwards, Matt and I went for more chicken and rice. Again the orders didn't come out as we wanted but it was still pretty good. The Hills Have Eyes II was on - appalling, appalling film.

After Matt returned to the Mynt Lounge but I headed back for a detox and a little more work.
