Thai Beauty Comes in Many Forms

Today is my birthday! Since I've stayed here several times and made friends with the staff - somehow they knew it was my birthday (from my passport). This lovely woman, Jeab, not only arranged a birthday cake but later in the evening invited me to her home (in an alley) and gave me a wonderful facial and even painted my fingernails!  She also made me a crocheted tolet paper cover. I loved it!

The Thai people SMILE! And when they greet you they bow their head and put their palms together in a prayer position. This was my cab driver, what a brilliant smile! And the cabs are soooooo cheap (so what they're pink)





I love the weather here! It's warm (90's) and very humid. Of course it's chaotic and the gridlock is forever, but I was sitting in my cab, looked out the window and this is what I saw, a moment of green peace, I exhaled!

This coral and gemstone necklace was my favorite selection today, I also bought it's partner in a longer version. The workmanship and the gems are perfect! If you're interested in purchasing it. I just shipped it off to Sue in the shop, so call her, it won't last. $250
