Another Day in Mae Sai

Another day in Mae Sai, we got up around 5:30 and had fried chicken, sticky rice, coffee and Pa Thong Ko in the Mae Sai Morning Market.

We then headed over to see how the folks that have the Pa Thong Ko shop in the Ban Pa Meat Morning Market. They are a Chinese couple that have the shop in the smaller market two lanes (call Soi in Thai) from our home. They have not been open for the last two months as the wife had a baby about 7 weeks ago. Here most husbands stay home and help the wife with the baby for the first month or two.

We found their apartment and they are both looking well. We talked a while and they stated they were going to reopen their coffee and Pa Thong Ko shop next week.

Now, I not really into babies but this little kid is really a looker. We wished them the best and told them we looked forward to seeing them reopen in the market next week.

We headed over to the hardware store and picked up two toilet spray hoses for two of the five toilets in our place. Here in Thailand, as well as many other places in the world, when folks use the toilet they just spray off with a hand held spray hose. It pretty effective and no need for tissue, it's drip dry.

The sprays do get a lot of use and need replacing very frequently. The nice part is the sprayer and hose is only around 150 Thai Baht ($5.00 USD).

We also stopped for some home made coconut ice cream; made the old fashion way of ice and salt to freeze the cream into ice cream. I laughed at the "ice cream sandwich" as it is two slices of white bread with ice cream between the two slices. They also add corn and sticky rice along with chocolate, if you want.

Then home to do our chores.

There is not much to do as the old house is in pretty good shape even after us being gone for over three months. Tomorrow Daeng is going to Chiang Rai for a Parent-Teacher meeting with her son's, Boonreang's, school.
