Days 5 & 6 (Friday and Saturday)

These stupid 5 star hotels keep trying to charge me for internet access, so I'm reducing the number of posts!!! I think we are the only ones staying at these places for free (Sheraton points). Everyone else here does not seem to be shocked by the $10 cocktails and $20 per day internet fees. I guess we are cheap. We keep stopping at fruit stands and picking up weird local fruits to eat for breakfast. They have the smallest bananas I have ever seen!

No photos today. Friday we spent driving up here to Hua Hin. Yesterday (Sat) we went shopping a little at a market, ate lunch, and then went to a dinner show at the hotel (amazingly the dinner show was only $70 per person, which we thought reasonable given the other prices here).

Of course, everything outside the 5 star resort is dirt cheap....

Today (Sunday morning), we are driving over to Chanthaburi (the far eastern part of Thailand by the gulf), where hopefully we'll be able to buy cut gemstones (at least I hope - Greg probably hopes that we get lost on the way). Actually, he'll probably go crazy about halfway through the drive. He can't take the Thai radio stations any longer, and he's just about memorized the "Thai Grammy Award Winners" CD that I bought the first day. Every 15 minutes he chastizes me for forgetting the ipod input jack for the car stereo. I of course have no problem with the Thai radio stations.....
