WE'RE BACK HOME ----YEE HA


TEE COFFEE SHOP

BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND VERY WELL DECORATED AND LANDSCAPED


BEN SINGLETON -----------------" THE OLE THAI PIRATE IN THE FLESH"



CIEJAY AND BEN (I'M TAKING THE PICTURE ) AND ME ,ENJOYING A GREAT BREAKFAST.




I THINK ,the older I get the more I THINK, the best part of a trip to see the family for a day or two visit,,, is the trip back home .Lots of fun , good food and seeing friends and family that we haven't seen for a while and also meeting new family members and new friends and visiting, everything there is to see in the area . Good for a few days ,but after a while it kinda wears a body thin , and I feel like I need a vacation from our vacation.ha ha .

We had a great time with Nu and A and of course( the full of energy) Nicky Boy "aka Ultra Man". I will post a few stories and lots of pictures later.


Really!!!!!! for me the highlight of the trip was ,our stop by the TEE Coffee shop for a short visit and lunch ,with a really swell person Ben Singleton.,a fellow Bloger who writes as the "Thai Pirate." He was a very gracious host and Ciejay complemented him , by saying he was one of the "nicest young men she had meet in a long time." If you get a chance to stop by and enjoy not only a great cup of coffee , but their meals are super , not only did we have breakfast with Ben on our way down, but we stopped ,on our way back home and had lunch , and this time, with out Ben being there, and the food was great and the service super.The coffee shop has a photo collection (huge) of the King and the Royal Family , lots of old unseen photos, and also a great collection as well of the Late Princess Diana , and a few of her family as well. The walls are covered with lots of Photos, and there is also a great little gift shop with little nick- nacks for you to purchase and a good varity of snacks, packaged to take home for your sweet tooth and gifts for your friends ,made by the local folks.



Thanks ,Ben for you hospitality and ,lunch and I must say a great cup of coffee., sorry we missed the wife ( she is going to have their first child in one month ), but never fear we have added it ,as I hope all who read will do , to our list of MUST STOP PLACES whenever we are in that neck of the woods. And a note for all who read this ----make sure you arrive there HUNGRY as it's a great place to eat also . Malcolm

Hi Malcolm (and Ciejay), I just read Ben's report on your visit and posted a note, saying how nice it is to find Thailand bloggers are very friendly bunch and that they make the effort to get together for a chat. I hope to get out into the countryside for a visit here and there when I return in mid-December, although I do have to devote some time to a "career opportunity."

And was glad to read Ben puts together a good cup of coffee ;-) That's one delight that's hard to satisfy in LOS. I'm not a Star----s fan either.

You'll only get instant coffee here or TEA of course!
