Thursday on the town

-

 Thursday and I am blogging about going out on the town, what's that all about?😜

Well as it happens, today, the morning after is the lead up to the first footy game of the English Premier League season (hereafter called the EPL as I can't be arsed to type the full name every time I use it).

And the first game happens to feature my team, the Clarets, Championship champions versus Manchester City, EPL champions and a huge mega-rich club.

With the all important televising of the game, the season starts at 02.00 Saturday here in Thailand. Not that I am complaining about that, if the EPL wasn't televised I wouldn't be able to watch the game at all but what it does mean is I am having a nice quiet night in to be ready for the early morning excitement from Turf Moor.

And so I decided I would treat myself to a curry on Thursday.

The walk, of course is on Relive if you want to see it, well most of it anyway as I forgot to press start on the Garmin. That was a bit of a bugger as I wanted to try and do a bit of a guide for anyone as silly as me that fancies walking from Don Chan into the city still the Relive give some idea.

It has the snaps of the roads to cross and the like, for example


But I wont litter the blog with them after all there is a link to the Relive above😊although here is a little clip of the chaotic level crossing the route takes me across.
Despite the chaos and the bit of drizzle that dampened my just a little, I arrived at Spices and enjoyed my predictable Spices chicken set
And while we are on the subject of chicken, a friend sent me this recently, what is the world coming to😕

After the wonderful chicken set I wandered to Moment & Wine.

Naturally I had a glass of wine or two but how many times have I included that in a blog?

Oh go on then...

On my way out I saw they had one of those novel vapour lights so I tried to take a quick video of it, it is a bit shaky but here it is

It was dark by now and I always like the way Wat Buopharam looks lit up

And finally, the Red Lion
Where I did not go for the Old Speckled Hen, nope I re-evaluated the San Miguel wheat beer.

But now...

Coffee.

What a difference a day makes

Monday 21 April 2025. Easter Monday. A huge day. Part 1 The Burg needed to stretch its horizons and despite being only partly able, being under the weather due to this man-flu that has gripped my nose, throat, head and lungs, I needed a walk. Not too strenuous a walk mind you, one that is basically flat jet still so very interesting and scenic. Fortunately during our time together as friends in Chiang Mai, of the many many areas I grew to know and love with his guidance my friend Bill Carroll Had, in the past, introduced me to a place I felt would fit the bill. Huai Mae On. So I saddled up and sped down the road... (Come on which of you started to hum "funky moped", ok here it is to put you out of your misery) Once there and parked up I set out, in the heat and as I do, I took a snap or two; At the start; And the fishermen art the other end of the dam; After the floods the river has been cleared and the road improved; My objective, the waterfall; Rice field on the way back; B...

 As some of you may know, I have just returned from Japan. I bet you can imagine how many snaps and videos I have taken which, as well as the trip to the Philippines in late February My step daughters graduation And my sisters visit Has meant that very few videos, blogs and vlogs have been done for more than a month. Not only that, it is Songkran this weekend so there will be an even bigger backlog by next week. All this has led me to try and knock together at least a little taster of the Japan trip. It's done hastily but, it is done. Here we go.
