Ting Tong (the good kind of crazy)

Merry Christmas, it's early morning for y'all on the westcoast but I've done the gamut as far as holiday celebrating. It's been a pretty relaxing holiday and we spent our Christmas eve at a few places yesterday enjoying flowery garnished mojitos, and BBQ chicken wings.

It's a gorgeous night, I might mention I'm chilling on a hammock watching fireworks from my bungalow. It's unbelievable here, and only costing $24 a night for both Clare and I.

We ate Christmas brunch at Charlie & Lek, best thing I've ate since arriving: papaya noodle pad Thai, the flavors were incredible. Then we had some tea at cafe: All about coffee. Clare ordered Baen fruit and I went for pamdanas leaf ( we learned about this leaf in cooking school ;) afterwards we perused around town, doing a lil merry shopping for ourselves and loved ones. Then we indulged in some Thai massages, clare opted for a reflexology foot rub, she said it was better than any other massage she's had. We were a bit loopy but moved on to the south part of town to Fruit Factory! This restaurant was adorable and we both drank a smoothie, which have never disappointed me here in Thailand, and shared a surprisingly delicious spicy sausage fruit salad ( I dunno about the banana tho). It was about 6pm by then and we wandered into walking street, lots of crafts for sale and yummy street food served on sticks or banana leaf containers. We had a few fresh mojitos, the passionfruit ones are sooo good! And now I've retired for the evening. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas. We love you :)
