Golf course lunch and scooters




Man the traffic is bad... The cars are stopped, and the scooters / mopeds fill up the gaps pretty quick. I'm pretty sure that a U.S. license will not be valid in Thailand, and I don't think I would really want to drive! I think the most dangerous thing is the scooters in the driving rain, and the 3 or 4 people on scooters. Some folks wear helmets (I am told it is required) but a lot do not. There is no way that people can see when driving in the rain. It's the rainy season here now and when it rains, it rains HARD. We went to a local golf course and had lunch, which was excellent and had a mix of Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisines. One of the first phases I learned (besides thank you (kop koon krub)) was not spicy (mai ped). I have been forgoing dinner at night and chilling out with a clif bar at the hotel.

Swam for an hour this morning, and hopped on a spin bike for an hour at the gym at night.
