Visiting Jomtien again and took a look at the weekend night market. Again delicious food, but also clothes and lots of other stuff such as electronics and so on. I myself was looking for shoes primarily, and finally bought 3 pairs.. Also I got a couple of t-shirts and a pair of shorts. Don’t know if the clothes are of the best quality and fashion but at least it’s something new. Really happy with the shoes however.

Visiting a friend in Jomtien
Nice pool relaxing at my friends place in Jomtien today. Maybe I’ll rent a condo too at some point as it provides a good value for money, not least in a less overheated place as Jomtien. For 16000 Baht (about 400 USD a month he gets a newly refurbished 3 room apparent with two bathrooms and a kitchen area and also a gorgeous swimming pool area free to use at any time during the day.
I also took the chance to take a look at the beach road on my way back, a very relaxed and calm place compared to the Pattaya beach road. But looked nice anyway.
Street Food – cheap and delicious
I found a great place in Pattaya to by fruit and Thai fast food. A pad Thai to go here was 30 Baht (less than 1 USD). The next day I bought chicken and rice and got a onion soup included, for 50 Baht (just over 1 USD). I find the street food delicious and very affordable. The perfect snack whenever hunger sets in.
Everyday life
My friends left me this Sunday which means I have a little more time for work and normal everyday business now.
It’s quite nice to come to a new place, explore the surroundings, and find a nice routine for your daily life. I am now staying in a quite nice hotel located between Pattaya and Jomtien.
Today was such a perfect and relaxed day. Slept until late, worked, swam in the pool, worked again, found a great place to have dinner right down the street from the hotel.
Now it’s late but I will continue to work since I feel so good and have worked up somewhat a work flow.
Leaving Chiang Mai going south
The hotel in Chiang Mai
Except maybe for the airplanes taking of and passing right above our hotel, it was a really great value for the buck. It was calm and quiet during the night though so I woke up refreshed and happy in the mornings.
Doi Suthep – temple and national park
Chiang mai is famous for temples and beautiful nature. In Doi Suthep you get to experience both. As a bonus these handsome fellows appeared right before we left.
Taking a look around, and eating delicious food
Nice weekend and travel time is getting closer
Being my own barber since at least a year now. I find it to be really fun and a perfect creative challenge. Guess it started a little bit of a way to save a buck but I soon realized that I to a much higher degree ended up with with a hair cut that I liked.
I mean honestly how often do you exit the barber shop really happy with the result? 🙂
Enjoying winter world
Above zero today and clear blue sky, I am taking the chance to Explore the eyes of lake Sommen before it’s too late and the ice melts into water. Such an incredible beautiful day.
