Day 13

I wanted to go to the Erawan  Falls or other waterfalls today and checked the one day tours, but there was no tour available today unfortunately.
It rained heavily in the morning therefore I should be glad not going.
I booked the hotels in Phnom Penh and in Hong Kong through Internet and felt relieved to fix the latter schedule.
At night I went out for dinner at Thai Foods stand.  The container of the fish dish was fish shaped.  Isn't it interesting?


Day 12

My train was supposed to arrive at Bangkok at 8:30 in the morning.  However, again it delayed as a matter of course.  But I did not expect such delay.  It arrived around 10:15 AM.  I have booked the fruit curving lesson at 10:30, but of course I could not arrive at the venue on time.  Fortunately an instructor was also late, and I didn't miss anything.  I expected to curve watermelon or pineapple or something, but we made flowers from a piece of carrot.  In two hours lesson I made 2 flowers and some leaves.
In the afternoon I tried soap curving.  Since I know how to do basically from the morning lesson, it took less time to curve the soap.
Both lessons were about 750 bahts each.  I enjoyed a lot.  They say there is a school for fruit curving in Tokyo.
At night I went to see Siam Niramit, must see spectacular show in Thailand.

Day 2

Second day in Bangkok.  I went to HIS to arrange the travel during my stay in Thailand.  I booked the night train tickets and hotels in Chiang Mai.  I wanted to book the one day tours there but it seems there were nobody attending and if I book I have to pay double so I decided to find the tours in Chiang Mai.
In the toilet of the new building Terminal 21, I found the washlet, which is a Japanese high tech toilet, for the first time outside Japan.
I ate Thai food for lunch which was not so spicy that I could eat.
They say at 8 in the morning and 6 in the evening, the national anthem is heard and people have to stand still.
There are few escalators at the station, and it seems to use the elevator you need to confirm through phone. 
There are many taxis which color is pink, that is quite different from Japan.
