New Thai Restaurant


Lucy - Yes campers, I’m off to a new Thai restaurant that just opened. We need a good local within walking distance of home…. I know it will be hard to rival "June" from my favorite Thai restaurant in the country. 
We can live in hope…
When we lived in the country we religiously visited our local Thai restaurant every Sunday night. We always took different friends with us every time. It was mandatory that we started in the afternoon at our local watering hole & then went to visit June.... Poor June having to put up with us every week.

Even when we went to Thailand with Andrew & Gusband we could not find a Thai Restaurant that rivalled "June's"....


 Buddists are very technologically savvy ...(unlike me)...Who knew!!!!
Love a good phone call....

Whenever going on a trip away with Andrew & Gusband, we always know Gusband will look after us. I remember the phone call came a few days out from this particular trip. Gusband rang & said what insurance do you have.... Hmmm, what insurance? doesn't that just happen....Apparently not!!! Thank God for my travel agent. Never leave home without yours "I Don't"...(he comes on most of my trips or rather I go on most of his).


Any way before we get to the food;
Apart from this mistake Gusband & I made. We had a hangover & I'm sure cheesy fries sounded great at the time!!! not so much..I have never seen fluorescent cheese before!


I'd best show you our accommodation.
Sawusband & I stayed at "Indigo Pearl". It was fabulous.


Our room had a pool & the decor was amazing.


We even joined a cooking school to learn a few new techniques.

The spread we prepared.

So our place was great fun....Next we went to visit Andrew & Gusband's villa 
You know they never do anything by halves!!!!
A pool with a view to die for.
Loved the sunset from their room.

We had time to make a new friend

And do a spot of artwork shopping
Sooo very talented

So I think I got a little side tracked. Back to the food... We went to the so called best restaurant in Thailand....
A little  COCKtail to start..
Some of our food.
enjoying a vino.

The location was fabulous, the food not so much..

Back to reality. Ok time has passed & I have dined at the new restaurant. It was great!!! I am now lucky to have a local Thai within walking distance of homo...I am sure they will be sick of me very soon!.

Happy travels campers!

Andrew - You are too funny. Talk about getting sidetracked. You went from June to Thailand, to travel insurance to cheesy fries.
Just thinking about those fries makes me feel quite unwell. As for the accommodation in Thailand… wasn’t it fabulous!
Campers, when Lucy is talking about “June's” she means the local Thai Restaurant where Gusband and I live that is owned and managed by June. June is a wonderful lady - as all people who know her can attest to. For a long time we had to refer to ourselves as “Lucy’s friends Andrew and Gusband”. Now we are Andrew and Gusband from the Travel shop.
As for taking your travel agent with you on trips… I always take mine so I think it’s only fair that you should take yours as well. Do we know if you have travel insurance for Italy yet? I’ll ask Gusband and get back to you. The Divine Miss C knows all about travel insurance so maybe I’ll ask her…. Better yet I think it may be still a sore spot so  might give it a miss.
Don’t eat cheesy fries campers – especially in Thailand xx
