Life in Bangkok

Today's song is: Nights in White Satin  .. Moody Blues


We are slowly settling into a routine that is ruled mostly by the boss, Jaidan. We are seriously thinking of enrolling Jaidan in the local Thai school. Apparently they can do so anytime after their 2nd birthday. Hard to believe, but we will check it out.

It would be good to put Jaidan in school as it would give Thavorn and I some free time to go to the gym or simply go for a coffee without always having to chase down whatever Jaidan is up to. He is definitely ADHD like his half brother Jordan.

I may have an opportunity to coach some basketball at an international school and it would be great if it came with a work permit as that would enable many things in Thailand that all seem to revolve around having a work permit such as purchasing a vehicle.

This Sunday we fly to Phuket to stay at the marriot Beach Resort for a week to celebrate our birthdays and give Thavorn a chance to see her daughter who lives with her ex's family in Phang Nga, in Southern Thailand, about 90 mins out of Phuket. This is where the major tsunami hit years ago.


The resort is beautiful and we seem to visit it about twice a year.

We are flying Air Asia and Jaidan has flown about 3 times already but I doubt if he remembers. Hopefully he will remember this time as it is the first time I have to purchase a seat for him as children under 2 years of age fly for free but sit on mama or poppa.

Here are some pics of the resort. I must remember to take my gym stuff as it has a great exercise facility.









We have managed to get out a few times in Bangkok, sometimes all three of us, sometimes separately. We are looking forward to having Thavorn's older children Tai and Dun come visit for the month of October as they will babysit Jaidan and let us go out to have a few beers and enjoy some music. We usually arrive home about 1 am to find the 3 of them watching television :-)
