Back with more photos of that gorgeous pool...and a better view of the bump at nearly 8 months...especially no 3 side view.



It's big, folks! But not big enough yet! ;)

Pampering...

Well, me managed to calm down the kiddo, so he would layed off the contractions and after a 7 months dry of holidays we headed for the beach...We'd missed several opportunities in the past and we were really really hoping for this one to work or else we'd go bonkers! Enough of Bangkok!



We drove to Cha-am, some 200 km away from Bangkok. The plan was to just get there and find some place to stay. From the express way you see loads of signs like ' Beach Garden Resort. > 500 m'...easy enough.

PAMPERING was the name of the game. We were looking for something with a swimming pool and a massage parlor nearby...and boy, we foud it. We stayed at Baan Rom Mai, a U-shape designed resort with a tropical garden and a 200 metre swimming pool with tiny whirpools all around. HEEEEA - VEN!!



So, for 2 days, we did nothing but soak our selves in the pool or go for oil massages...It's not like I can be too adventurous at this stage. :))

Pregnancy wise...

HEAT! That's the only thing I hate about being pregnant...I sweat my butt off even when it's just 23 C...not to mention the total agony when the termometer hits 30 or 35. Therefore...the pool...

I'm a week away from entering my 8th month now, feeling great...Yeah, sure, I'm not a spring flower anymore, I need to catch my breath after couple of stairs, my stomach is basically inside my rib cage...but other than that, it's a fabulous thing watching and feeling the little bouncing all over the place.

Blogger..?

This service is going from bad to worse...took me 20 min to upload the 3 photos..and I'm totaly stuck...it won't upload the rest...I'll give it a ANOTHER go in a few hours.

Coup wise ...

It's all good...in fact this coup was more of a big scare than actually dangerous...Sure, I went to work for 2 weeks driving by tanks and soldiers with guns, but by the second week everyone was oblivious to all of it.

It was just the first couple of days that people were shushing in noodle shops...after that they pretty much went on with their lives.

No economic effect either (so far..). The baht is still where it was before, in fact in has come down a bit...so we're still NOT working for peanuts.

Some new guy is the PM now...but I've lost count of it all, so can't tell you much there...


Baby wise ...

7 months now and starting to feel like a punching bag...Those first few delicate flutters that I first felt way back, have now turned into sharp jabs and hard kicks, some powerful enough to take my breath away!!

It sort of funny the way the whole belly waves when kiddo decides to start his tumble turns...great great stuff for dads!!!

Getting out of Bangokok wise...

In 2 weeks we've got a 9 days holiday...Our first PAYED holiday...!!! Gotta celebrate, right?

We'll be packing our troubles and heading towards central Thailand...couple of hours north of Bangkok. Main destination : LOPBURI. Some classic Khmer temples and lots, lots of monkeys...I've been there before and loved it...the monkeys have literally taken over the city, they've conquered the temples, they're walking the streets and robbing the naive travellers...
Last time I had to literally fight 5 baby monkeys to keep my bag...I WON"T be swinging anything this time!:)
