The best laid plans...

The internet has been wonky here. It is rather annoying! Such is life, however. Eventually it started working around lunchtime.

I wanted to go to the Hill Tribes Museum today. We went once a long time ago and it was very interesting. Mainly, the museum is about the work that the Royal family has done in developing Thailand's rural areas. I was hoping for some good information and possibly some good pictures. Alas! When we got there we found it was closed for renovations until September. I guess I'll have to go at Christmas.

As disappointing as that was, it gave me time to visit the hospital to see a doctor. (Nothing serious.) When the lady at the check in asked if I'd ever been there before, it was hard to explain that I had last been there about 13 years ago. Strangely, I was no longer in their computer database. The last time I was at this hospital was when I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. Not a particularly pleasant time; so basically, I'm revisiting all sorts of places and memories that I didn't plan to!

Then we went to the other mall to look for pink shirts. I am just completely bewildered by this. They are everywhere, yet nowhere. I'm going back to the market this week and maybe I will have some luck there.

Then I went to the dentist. Fun times. Altogether, my medical expenditures today were about $60. I love Thailand.

  1. Those are awesomely low medical expenses. I want.

    Ugh I hate it when places are closed like that! BOTH times I was in England the Keats House/museum in London was closed. This still makes me very sad.

    I am glad you are not too ill. And that is so weird about the pink shirts. Is there anyone you know who lives there who might know what the deal is?
