ECO House in Singburi

On Sunday we also went to one of the biggest markets in the world (apparently) but having done the floating market in the morning - I was all marketed out - it was too big too crowded so we only spent an hour there.

In the evening we went to Khao San road for a meal. It's a very lively place with lots of bars stalls and tourists. Ollie girl) and Peter went on to see a sex show, I'd planned to go with them but we'd had a long day and had to pack to get up early for our trip to SIngburi the next day so I gave it a miss. Had it been neaked men performing I may well have gone.
On the bus to SIngburi on Monday Ollie gave us the details of the artists blowing up and popping balloons, spraying coke and sex hanging from the ceiling which made us all laugh.
Eco house is nice though it's miles from anywhere. The food is vegetarian, no hot water and no alcohol on the premises.
After dinner the local children danced for us and gave us garlands of flowers, then we all went in the 'make shift' bar next door. I asked for a rum and coke and they said that would be 150 baht which I thought was expensive as it was only 130 in the hotel but he said that's for the bottle of rum, so I bought the bottle and had quite a merry night.
It's difficult getting to the internet as the ECO house is 7km from the town and no public transport so I either have to wait until we're due to be in town or I have to get a taxi which is expensive. Blogs may be erratic and only once a week but don't worry our mam - I'll keep in touch - your little girl is OK.

I'm sharing a room with Dsintra from the midland, she's a couple of years older than me but much younger in spirit and a good laugh.
Yesterday we were in Singburi sight seeing and shopping - Vim took us to the local fresh market where there were live fish in bowls and live frogs tied up in nets. It was good to see but some of the smells were a bit too much.
The food is great though the chillis take your breath away sometimes. I'm certainly trying lots of new foods here.

Today we had Thai language lessons and learned to make Papaya salad and Pad Thai - lots of chillis and very tasty. The others have gone swimming so I thought I'd take the opportunity of catching up with everyone.

Will try and get to the blog soon.

Trish - glad you've had a great cruise - back to work!!
