Martin enljoys his breakfastl
The restaurant area is more like a dining room in a house.

          
Unmaintained pool. Lacking tiles and murky water.

It is like part of living quarters and very homely.

The reception area.  
On January 2nd, we went to our fancy soup kitchen. This Mama made an excellent soup.

Martin and Lai. The Mama started at 0800 and finished when her food ran out around 1500 hours. Smart lady.

One of the locals. The soup kitchen was full. The food is obviously very good.

The local cock at the soup stall.

Visit to the market where the meat got a good tan in the hot sun. Healthy?

Clams also liked a tan.

The pool at Ban Kruat Garden Resort. It may not been clean, but the kids enjoyed it.

It is not well maintained, neither physically nor chemically.

Lai at the breakfast table at our departure day, Jan 3rd.

A fancy chair-table setup.

Our room A1.

The room from the front with Martin's swimming trousers and goggles are drying in the tree.

Nice grass huts around the pool.

It is a nice cool drink in the morning.

A cage with a bat for some odd reason.

Martin's breakfast face.

After breakfast, while waiting for the taxi, time for a few early morning beers (morrapils).

Martin enjoyed the beer after breakfast and his chilly 2000 meters' swim.

It was a nice setup.

Time to leave for Nang Rong. The owners ID.

The driver, Will and Lai before departure.

At Nang Rong, we visited the nice, new pool at a local hotel. This will be our spot from no onwards.  

On Monday January 3rd, it was time to go back to Nang Rong.
