Happy Thanksgiving! Greg and Tom started with a half-day fishing trip with Jim and his friend Neil (both Brits). They went to a private lake about 30 minutes away and had a ball, with each guy catching 8 or 9 big mekong catfish between 10 and 50 pounds each! Some took 20 minutes or more to land, and a few got away.
It was strictly catch and release, so no catfish for dinner tonight!
Beth and Sue took a red taxi to Wat Wat ChiangMan (Elephant Wat) which had many statues of elephants outside the chedi and beautiful murals inside the wat.
We wandered many small streets back to the hotel, stopping for a decadent dessert lunch at a small garden shop with gorgeous orchids.
Sue found a lovely leather purse in a small shop with handmade clothing and purses. We passed many lovely homes, side by side with small shops and ramshackle homes. No zoning laws here!
Also spotted a "laundramat" and these jackfruit.
Headed back to the hotel and relaxed a bit till Tom and Greg returned with their fish stories and great pictures. We headed out to We' s for lunch but they had a sign posted that they were on holiday, so we went around the corner to Baan Na Na. Happy Thanksgiving! Massaman Curry, Fried Rice, and Beth decided to try a hamburger. Sue had a gorgeous tasty mango smoothie. Bad decision for Beth as it was possibly the worst hamburger ever - the menu said 100% beef, but I seriously doubt it. Kind of cross between gristly sausage and ?? The french fries were good, though! I should have known better!
Tom and Sue stopped for a massage, Greg and I went back to the Melt Away bakery for apple pie and cheesecake.
