So Good, Yes it is !!



The road which heads south from Big C, it's fairly new, not on any maps yet. 
Head south to the next traffic light. Cross that intersection and another block or two, you'll see it.   

So Good Restaurant.  Open from 11am to 11pm

    
The owner, a Thai lady who speaks English, prefers to listen to English music, seventies mostly.

At my age and shape of things, I am always enthused when hosts provide cushioned seating








Cost:   So Good!!



The Price is Right


  Ten Dollar a Day speed



Sept 13: Observed tree pruning 


Aftermath: Invisible sidewalk



  Sept 17:  Clean up crew on standby





  Loading Begins


  Sweepers are standing by
