More Lain 15/10

We were up early for some last minute sun first by the pool and then we had to move down to the beach as we had to check out by noon and because the sun disappears behind the roofline of the house, our last lunch was had in the restaurant and then back to the beach, we took our first swim since we left Grenada in the Gulf of Thailand and then cooked ourselves, sapping up the last few rays of decent sunshine.
We have been lucky as all around us is rain and flood and we are still in Monsoon.
Our flight was late evening so after the sun went down we had a room to shower and change before heading to the airport.

The flight was quick but as we returned to the mainland the weather we had left, hadn't left and the thunder and lightening was still in full flow.

The hotel we left and now returned to, had a 3 ft brick wall around the lobby as well as an outer wall 2 ft deep of sandbags- Bangkokians were preparing for the worst and it was obviously yet to come.

When you book on line you save alot versus just arriving as we did last time, we didn't get breakfast included this time and the room was a little pokier but this is still a great hotel and location ( Shanghai Mansion).

We have one full day tomorrow. Bangkok so the plan is Market, bike shop, Rugby, massage, cooking class, ping pong...let's see how far we get!
