When asked what they would like they to have afterwards, they were full of Songkran and so asked for shirts and water cannons - very colourful, don't you think? I think we can safely say that they were ready for some action! Shopping then consisted of just groceries and things for the house.
It seems that grandma is constantly in pain because of a back problem and that that because there's a risk she wouldn't survive an operation, the decision was taken to provide her with a wheel chair and give her pain killers. Unfortunately, they only give here paracetamol, which isn't anything like as strong as she needs. However, when we asked what we could do to help, we learned that the family was already
expecting the Pattaya Mail to go over this weekend to highlight her case and hopefully pressure local authorities into doing something more. We don't have any details as to what they're hoping for, but perhaps when the paper comes out...
So, two delighted little boys and a very generous and happy sponsor who also bought a Songkran shirt (which had to be purchased in a different store because there weren't any left for adults in Tesco Lotus).
Now Suky and I need shirts for our foray onto the streets of Pattaya with Steve and Dan next week - and maybe some wellies and a water cannon, what do you think?
Well, boys will be boys...you never know, and we wouldn't want to be over dressed!
