Ding Dong Place


The spa (thai massage) is not yet in operation (glass doors).  Ding Dong Place is open, offering breakfast, hamburgers, and spaghetti.  Pancakes may also be added to the menu.

A larger business sign is on order.  Until then drive slow so you won't miss the place.  A recognizable landmark is the tall white sign with red trim for a hardware store. There is a U-turn lane in front of Ding Dong Place.

 Map coordinates 17.146392, 104.142107
 The spa should be operational soon

Saturday is Makha Bucha day


The day commemorates the spontaneous gathering of 1,250 monks to hear the Buddha preach. 
Thailand enforces a no alcohol sales day.  Bars and discos should be closed. 
Whenever a public holiday falls on a weekend, an alternate holiday is designated.  In this case Monday is an alternate holiday, banks and public offices are closed.

Strange things in strange places

The toilet was not properly flushing. Sometimes it would take more than one flush to clean the bowl.
Checked the sump, it was high, still four inches to overflow. Had it pumped out: 400 THB.  Did not improve the flushing.
So then I thought I should ask for a plumbers snake.


Considered that only for a second before laughing it off.

It could have been lost in translation and I'd have animal control at my doorstep looking for a snake. 

Lucky  my garden hose is long enough, stuck it down the toilet bowl.

After a few stokes of the hose I got the culprit loose...
