We went to get our laundry and have a 2-hour walk to the old part of town, checking on stores and restaurants of interest on the way It was very hot by 10AM, so we checked out a swimming pool and exercise club at a nearby hotel. Cost is about $60 per month for the two of us, so that should do very well. Just getting into their AC would be worth it!
We took our computers over to Janet's apartment and checked to see if they worked with her phone-related internet source. And they both worked. Then we took Janet out for lunch at a restaurant she suggested right on the river (The Gallery) - Hillary Clinton had dined there as First Lady in 1993 or so. It was excellent, so we have found a restaurant in the upper bracket. She took us to her phone/internet supplier shop so that we could add minutes to her internet account, which was accomplished in due time but with some language difficulty.
After saying "Goodbye" to Janet, we visited the Sunday market stalls, had a one-hour foot massage at the market ($6 each) while doing some serious people watching, and saw some colorful tribal kids doing traditional dances in their costumes. The children here, both male and female, are required to take Thai dance in school through high school. Then met our friends Bill and Carol from Oman for dinner at Heuan Pen, which is in an old teak house with lots of antiques. All that ambiance and it only cost $6 per person - only had 1 beer between all of us though. It was dark and had sprinkled some as we finished dinner, so we took a tuk tuk home and crashed.
