Today is bright and sunny, the first such day since my arrival. A lot of rain each day, this is that time of year, and last evening was no exception.
I am now finished with thee dental appointments, about an hour and a half total time, all three were un -interrupted from the time I sat down until the doctor was finished. There is none of the five chairs under going treatment at one time as is the situation in Canada. Total cost...68.00 Canadian.
Now I will do some special shopping for items that are not readily available in Canada. I will also be doing a day visitation to the National Museum here in Bangkok. I found out on Monday that there is a special exhibit of the Terra Cotta Warriors from China, here until December 5. For those who do not know of these warriors, I suggest you go to Google for the full and fascinating story of their creation, and discovery not too many years ago. It cost over ten million dollars to bring them here...only a few, plus other relics from the site. The move required special temperature and humidity conditions.
Depending on the weather and forecasts, I hope to visit either the site of the Bridge on the River Kwai, or go down to Pattaya with the beach and ocean, for three days. The beach is more suited to rain...when it is 34 degrees.
Other than that, It will be a quiet time here in Bangkok. Since this is the wet season, it is not overrun with tourists.
I have secured an apartment for the rest of my time here starting Monday, so will make my next plans after that move from this hotel.
