A quiet day

Today was a nice quiet day for the most part. I was again awakened by the sounds of hammering at 9 AM. I went to see a new Thai movie today called The Love of Siam. It was very good. A bit of a tear-jerker and overly long at 160 minutes. But at its heart was a story of two boys in love. The writing and acting are very good.

Then I had a massage which was nice and relaxing. And then I had a quick dinner. Today is Loy Krathong and all up and down beach road people were selling krathongs which are these little rafts mostly made out of styrofoam with flowers and incense and a candle. The problem with sending the krathongs out onto the gulf is that the wind is pretty strong so the candles don't stay lit for long and they just sort of bob along the shore. It was a lot of people down there though and there were lots of firecrackers and other fireworks going off.

Tomorrow I am supposed to head back to Bangkok around 11 AM. I am not sure how I am getting there but the travel agent is good about making everything happen when they say that they will.
