Solitary Swimming

The pool area was a much quieter place this afternoon than yesterday and we both managed to have the water to ourselves when we cooled off with a few lengths. Enjoyable relaxation.

Thai Waterways

We walked a little further this morning to suss out a market. We ate at the hotel last night and, while the food was good value, we wanted to find somewhere that provided authentic Thai food for tonight. We located a largish stretch of stalls with a variety of goods to which I’ll return for some bargains later. There were plenty of small roadside food stalls, but we wanted somewhere with more tables and away from the immediate noise and fumes from the road, which we found eventually.

A bridge over a tributary of the Chao Phraya River had a large part of the balustrade missing, possibly broken as a car smashed into it. Although the stream wasn’t particularly wide, there were plenty of vessels using it - water taxis hurrying on their way and a rubbish boat, with masked workers hooking the large bags aboard.
