We slept reasonably well at the the family in Lat Krabang. We wake up at about seven o'clock.
We're going to drink coffee and have breakfast a little later. Pia tries to do the same exercises that she also does every day in the Netherlands, it is not quite good, there is no mat that protects against the hard tiled floor, but we cannot have everything.

Pia calls the hotel this morning where we want to sleep in Cha-am, the Bann Pantai Resort. We want to go there on Sunday, February 13 and return to Bangkok on Friday, 18 February and we want a cottage, not a room in a large building.
And that is possible, the costs are around THB 11,000, which is approximately € 60.00 per night.
We must pay 50% of the costs as a deposit, the payment goes via line. And we don't know anything about that; Pia uses Line to talk to family and friends, but we don't pay via Line and we don't want to understand. Pia asks Moue for help, and after a few calls Moue understands what is the intention. Moue will transfer the money.

In the afternoon we go to Robinson again, but now in Seacon, a large indoor shopping center along Thanon Srinakharin.
When we go away, the sky looks very dark, and it storms. We hope to keep it dry.
But first we go to the Paseo Lat Krabang, to get money from Pia's Thai AOW account. But that's not just a moment, there is a long queue waiting in front of the bank, after more than half an hour Pia comes out again, without money but with a debit card. We try the debit card and we can use it. It is still dry.
On to Robinson in Saecon. There we buy underwear for both of us, and a new wallet for Tom.
Then to a gold shop where we have to exchange a chain for a Thai girlfriend in Apeldoorn. And where we, but not today, have to buy a chain for another girlfriend in Apeldoorn.

It is now already after five o'clock, we want to eat at a restaurant where we used to eat on past journeys, Krua Rabiengnaam. Pia wants wine, so we go to Lotus's and buy a 2-liter carton of wine.
And then by taxi to the restaurant, that luckily is open again. Pia asks if Moue also wants to come, and she wants.
We can still choose which table we want to sit down, it is quiet. Unfortunately, the tables along the water are all already occupied.
We order three dishes and we eat very quietly and with taste. Pia remembers that she has not yet seen her sister Pooh, and she is also invited.
It will be a pleasant evening.
