I didn't have a birthday party...

...but that didn't stop my Thai friends from throwing a party. Visitors arrived and left throughout the day.  Some real surprises were people I had not expect to remember my birthday.   

Quite a crowd had gathered on my porch by early evening. I made myself comfortable in front of the tube.  Still a bit under the weather from this lingering flu, I had no plans to party.
When I did step out to greet all the visitors I noted a bottle of whiskey, which had been a birthday present, was  empty and a lot of sheepish faces looked innocently at me.   

I did get quite a number of free massages that evening. After the massages and some beer I was off to dreamland for the night  

I did wake up briefly somewhere around 11 pm.   The only reminder that there had been a party was an empty case of beer bottles on the front porch
