It’s hard to believe that we have been here nearly two weeks. The time seems to be flying by.
The weather has turned warm and pleasant again, and we made our way to the beach yesterday. We’ll stay here for a few days and then join some friends in a neighboring province of Rayong on Wednesday.
It was so delightful to wake up to the nearly deserted oceanfront. It’s so peaceful and serene. The people who own the bungalow we rented brought us fresh mangos and sticky rice from town, which we thoroughly enjoyed with our morning coffee on the waterfront.
The mangos here are yellow, and unlike those red and green fibrous ones we get at home, these are yellow, sweet, and so tender that they almost melt in your mouth. The sticky rice is mixed with some sort of sweet coconut extract, which tastes like the inside of a Mounds bar. It is a traditional favorite of the people in Thailand.
