A Fab Family Friday

-

 Pin's daughter and family are here with us for the long holiday weekend. Our granddaughter is 6 months old now and I can't believe how much she has grown.

Who is this strange foreigner her face may be saying 😍

Anyway having enjoyed some rather nice Thai lunch in the local boat-noodle place of we went on a hike up Doi Ngom. 

Although on a decent road it can be very steep in places but I cant yet find a way to demonstrate just how steep a road is on a photo and we were only progressing at just over 2km/hr.

Even so there were some great views

The walk was supposed to be quite short but we had set out mid afternoon and at 2.7km into the walk it was clear that getting to the chedi and back in daylight may be a problem so the older members of the team decided to stop there.
But the young army son in law decided to jog on...
😮
If you are wondering where the Chedi is, here it is...
What? cant see it?



Returning home it was a quick shower and change ready to go and experience the light show at Sankamphaeng Hot Springs.

We should have set off earlier as with 2.5km to go we hit an huge traffic jam and it took us 45 minutes to do just over 1km.

We abandoned the car just off the road and set out walking.

Fortunately we soon came to a car park with a shuttle van to take us the final way.

Once there we took in the lights, so here is a little video I prepared earlier...


The original plan had been to see the lights, grab a bite in the venue and then return home but to be honest the food on offer didn't excite my appetite and the place was so busy tables were just not free.

So we set off back, but it was getting late so where could we go that we know would be serving a tasty meal...

Yep the Red Lion 😋.

Lovely.

Olympus Oldies Diary

November 2023 and a small bunch of retired Olympus UK oldies got together for bike rides, MotoGP and a trip to Vietnam. So I hastily put together some snaps to make a slide diary. Unfortunately my slideshow app kept crashing and simply would not produce the normal 4K video so here it is at FHD. Which, as it has taken all day to get it done is probably as good as this will be, at least until I know what is going wrong.

A bit of an update

 Greetings all It has been a busy time here in the Trinder household. Our friends Steve and Izzy are here, it’s great to see then after the Covid enforced travel ban so here are a few snapshots of the stuff we have been up to. Christmas dinner at O.M.G A wander around the 700-year park A wine or two at Moment and Wine A walk by Mae Kuang Dam where the water is still so high the lower road is under and no longer accessible. Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden Mon Jam And the Stinky Canal. All of this has been wonderful but for Pin and I it is clouded by our Satang being seriously ill and needing an operation. The good news is she looks to be healing well and today, fingers crossed, she can come back home and we can be a family again.

Olympus Oldies, the Pattaya Ride

 Only a month after the event, it is a good job I am not paid as a reporter. Anyway, with a November scheduled to a bunch of oldies that once worked for Olympus, when Olympus was Olympus that is, setting out to take South East Asia by storm (more a gentle breeze) the world needs to know that later life can be fun, an awful lot of fun. The drawback does include getting stuff wrong, like deleting the bikes onboard video before checking it had been transferred😖 so on this particular video you have to make do with the Relive trace. No way do I, or am I anything like the talented friends from Olympus and elsewhere when it comes to artistic prowess but it is good to be able to bring the viewing public down to earth now and again. Coffee.
