It seems that, even in Buddhist Thailand, there is no escape from Christmas so we're sharing some of our activities over the festive season wih you! The main shopping areas are festooned with Christmas lights, supposedly for the tourists but the Thais seem to like them as well. Pink is their favourite colour so that's the main theme in many displays.


The school went into Christmas big time with most classrooms overloaded with decorations and tinsel. On the last morning of term there was a Christmas show. Jon did his rendering of "Goodbye Horse" with a little help from colleagues and schoolkids. It was much appreciated! Then it was back to the classrooms for Christmas parties. All of the classes took part in "Secret Santa" so everyone had a present to take home.



On Christmas Eve we went to Simon's cabaret in Patong, don't get too excited chaps, they're all guys! It was our first time in a theatre since we arrived in Thailand and it was a lot of fun.



On Christmas morning we went to our favourite spa. It was very hot so it was good to have a dip in the pool to cool down. They had erected a Christmas Tree to make us feel at home.





Then it was onto "Don's Mall" to meet up with a few people from work for Christmas Dinner. It was roast turkey with all the trimmings (except Don is American so there was no Christmas pudding) and you could eat as much as
you like. We were fairly modest with our platefuls as we remembered being stuffed after the Thanksgiving Dinner at the same place.




Hope you're all having a great time too!
