Swimming Monkeys

At the weekend, we took Nong Grace to see the swimming monkeys in Khlong Khon, Samut Songkhram. We rented a boat so that we could go and see the monkeys. She had a great time feeding the monkeys bananas and also taking their picture. Joinging us on the trip were Kelley and Steve from America. Kelley is Nong Grace's English teacher at school.

Birthday Shopping

It is less than a month before Nong Grace's birthday, and as part of her pre-birthday treat, we took her to Central Plaza Bangna today to buy her presents. We do it a month in advance as that is often time enough for her to forget what she chose. She had an enjoyable three hours in Toys R Us, Asia Books and the toy department in Central.
