Friday Photo

A week or so ago, Central Chitlom department store was a spectacular sight. To celebrate King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit’s 60th wedding anniversary all seven floors were full of flower displays. 


For once I didn't have to creep around taking surreptitious photos - it was permitted. Phew.

Monday

This morning Husband caught the early boat back to Phuket, to catch a flight back to Bangkok. He has to fly to Hong Kong for a three day meeting, which is a bit sad because tomorrow is a bank holiday in Thailand, but clearly no-one told Hong Kong.

This resort has been lovely, but they don’t have room for us for the rest of the week, so Kids and I going, by long tailed boat, to the next bay to another resort.

One of the lovely things we’ve found about Thailand (compared to the UK) is the cheapness and abundance of flowers. (For Daughter’s birthday the year before last, I bought 50 pink roses for just over £1. The roses don’t last more than a few days, but who cares at that price?) Because it is relatively cheap to employ people, hotels think nothing of having lots of time consuming tasks undertaken, such as beautiful flower decorations everywhere. Husband and I were joking that when the trees aren’t flowering, someone climbs up a step ladder to staple flowers on for decoration!

Here are some pictures of some of the displays we’ve seen around the resort ...
















... plus one we took in our bungalow. (Let me make the point now, that NO photoshopping has taken place in any of the pictures!)
