Summing it all up.

Dec 6 - Pawika's birthday
The pictures below are thumbnails, meaning they are small copies of the real thing. You just click them. The weather in Norway and in Bangkok just now.

In Kamphaeng Phet, Kran, Pawika and Martin had a lovely day with swimming, computers and we went off to Khlong Lan, Pawika's home.

To the left, the lovely breakfast served by Entrepreneur Teera Tachayapong and the owner of Scenic RiverSide Resort. There is an article of March 25th 2010 in Bangkok Post about Teera. Read it, it is very enlightening.
Teera has put up his Christmas decoration already. A little bit out of place, Martin thinks.

The birthday child, Pawika on her way to her Grandma SongWaa's house in Khlong Lan.
The rice fields outside Khlong Lan where the Orathai Resort at Khlong Lan where Kran and Martin will stay.

This is not part of the resort and too small for Martin.

The pool is very nice and 20 meters long.
The bar area is also nice with locally produced furniture. The owner Guy, also makes garden furniture for sale.

The rice fields in front of the resort. The resort itself is on top of a hill overlooking the fields below.

One of the hut with its distinct V-shaped roof.
The rooms are Spartan, but you hare not planning to spend much time in the room in any case.

There is a tent option as well. At 250 baths or € 6,25 it is cheap.

The kitchen facilities are meager, but you can cook and Kran and Martin will with the help of the maid.
The view from the bar is actually quite good.

There are very few men around so the urinal is used for storage.

As most people, Grandma hates making dishes and it shows.
