This first day was pretty eventful I would say. I didn't go out in Bangkok to try and do touristy things but just stuck to what was around Chan's place.
Chan, Nuck (his wife), Windy (daughter), and Rintoo (son) came back to their home around 11AM. The two kids are so opposite. Windy is 9, mild mannered, very polite, respectful, and acts older than her age. She is very intelligent. She knows 4 languages, plays 2 instruments, swims and plays hockey, and is at the top of her class. Rintoo is 4 and very rambunctious, jumping on anything he can, constantly running around, and never listening to his parents. He accident my threw Wind's phone is the pond we were at, but Windy didn't get mad at him or anything. The two of them are a fun combination.
We went out for supper to have real Thai food. Here's an interesting fact: coconut rice is not Thai at all! I asked two separate people and they has to ask me to explain what I meant. However, their desserts are all coconut based! Yum!
After supper we played a couple of fair type games as a market had been set up in the outdoor mall due to it being Thai New Years. I also poured water over some Buddhist statues which is supposed to guarantee the person a spot in heaven!
My Dad is doing well, but rests a lot. Tomorrow we go to his apartment to retrieve all his belongings. I'm sure that will be interesting.
Hope everyone is Canada is doing well.
