 |
 |
The pool at

due to dirt in the pool. A nice receptionist showed us the pool. Her name
is Pin-something. |
 |
|
Thursday December 21st. |
|
 |
It is lovely, even though it is not
very clean. A lot of leaves, but the water quality is good.
Martin after swim goes to Dear Steak, a very nice restaurant with good food. |
 |
 |
Lai can eat a lot and she does.
Seen here are a big veggie dish and chicken for lunch.
Martin enjoys his beer. |

Friday December 22nd. |
|
 |
We met our neighbor Peter, on the way to the pool.
Fancy car. |
 |

Christmas Eve, 2017 in Nang Rong,
Thailand. Quite different from Norway.

On route to our pool,
at the Akelada hotel and
its pool. My favorite in Nang Rong, the pool. |
 |
 |
The traffic was not
heavy. The famous spaghetti cables of Thailand
you find also in Nang Rong. |
 |
 |
Lone road to
Akelada hotel. Martin
relaxing after his 2000 meters. The pool is only 12,5 meters long, so it is
a total of 160 laps in the pool. It doesn't take more than 65 minutes in
total due to the short length. In a 25 meter pool, it takes much longer. |
 |
 |
Martin in his favorite
shirt. Time for a Christmas lupper at Mama's
restaurant. Good fish here. |
 |
 |
Martin tasting the
local beer. Lai and Martin at the table. |
 |
 |
Nice place.
Martin brings a pineapple. He loves that. Thailand is the biggest producer
of pineapples in the world, but for some reason, they don't eat it much and
restaurant don't have them. Therefore Martin brings his own. |
 |
 |
Mama's serve beer in
glasses half filled with ice. It keeps the beer
cool. |
 |
 |
Martin's Christmas
lupper. Deep fried fish with sweet&sour dressing with lots of pineapples.
Martin is ready to go. |
 |
 |
Lai with the fish.
Martin is having a go with his chopsticks. Martin likes the chop sticks.
Makes the food last longer. |
 |
 |
In the evening, a quick
trip to The Pizza Company with a non-operational web-site
www.1112.com. Work needs to be done here. |
|
|

 |
 |
Trip to Tesco shopping
center not far from the house.
The Pizza Company which has very good
pizzas. |
 |
 |
One of the nice ladies

is very tasteful. |
 |
 |
Camera is watching the
staff and the customers. Lai with her diet coke. |
 |
 |
Lai with the pizza menu
which is very nice, but no information of the local place like tel. no. etc. |
|
|
New Year's Eve, 2017 in Nang Rong,
Thailand. Quite different from Norway.
Akelada
Hotel with swimming pool. 290 in the air and 260 in the pool. |
|
 |
On our route to the
pool, Big C is coming up, next to Tesco. No shortage of shopping centers in
Nang Rong. A stop to fill up the bike with
petrol. Nice local petrol attendant. |
 |
 |
The main road in Nang
Rong. The lovely pool of Akelada Hotel, our
favorite place in Nang Rong. |
 |
 |
Martin finished
swimming. Enjoying Spy, a local champagne
bubbly, red and sweet. |
 |
 |
Nice to relax after the
swim. You can still see the ripples in the pool
after our swim. |

 |
 |
The off to
The Pizza Company, which has franchises
all over South East Asia. This is spare ribs with garlic bread and shrimps,
both nicely spiced and tasted delicious. Recommended if in Thailand.
And a good beer to wash it down with. San Miguel Lite and no cork fee. |
 |
 |
A content Martin after
the meal. Big C is opening up next door to Tesco,
as if Nang Rong didn't have shopping centers enough. Not a good idea. |
 |
 |
The traffic is heavy
and dangerous. Estimated more than 36 000 killed on the road every year. The
official figure is 22 000, but they only count those dead on the spot, not
those dying in hospitals after the accident. |
|
|
And that was 2017 that ended in Nang Rong, Thailand. Happy
New Year. |
