Here at Phon Phisai, (spelling varies due to language difference), I have a cabin at a place called The Roseview Resort. It is on a farm about two kilometers from my friend's home in the small city. I have for the second time in my life, agreed to be taxied on a motor scooter if it is not raining. The forecast is for no rain while I am here!!!.
To finish about my flights here. The A-380 aircraft is double decker, with business and first class on the top deck, rows one to thirty,with the lower all economy class, rows 31 to 80. I was in row 33.
This was flight number 1102 for me, going back to my first flight in 1954. From London, we went over Brussels, near Nuremberg, over Budapest, over the Black and Caspian Seas, Over Tbilsi, Baku, Lahore, Kolkota, Rangoon and on to Bangkok. Total time was eleven hours and fifteen minutes, total miles 7261. I have more, but that is enough for now.
In three hours, we will go to the farm and pick Palms...not sure what that is, however I am about to fine out. Tomorrow will probably work the rice fields. For someone raised on a dry wheat farm in Western Canada, this is about as far away from that as possible, yet many similarities. The roosters at about four in the morning, then the donkey, the geese and ducks, and some things I do not yet know what. I was promised an adventure, and a full exposure to the Thai farm life...they will not let me down. The kids have grown so fast, that arm wrestling is not so easy...and much more in store.
This blog site is now just over 7500; Thank you all. If computer still works, I will do another report in maybe three days....around November 10.
