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!:)
