In the duration of our 9 days holiday in Thailand, we stayed in 4 hotels and on a moving train.
The first night was at this hotel named Hip Hotel.
It's not too posh, nor too low-budget. Modern designed and new, with a free upgrade to a bigger room and a free extra bed for us. Hubs got it at a corporate rate from his customer in Thailand and we were pretty satisfied with it.
By the time we checked in, it was very late, like maybe 10+, which strictly speaking was 11+ Malaysian time. Which means, the kids ought to be in bed by then. But since it was holiday, all rules were bent!
Right after we dropped our bags in our room, we headed straight back out to the streets, to the nearby night market. It was a hot and humid night and the kids were not very happy being dragged out walking in the narrow walkways of the night market. But I had already set some rules to our holiday beforehand.
1. No fighting, bickering, argument, complaining.
2. Must follow either mommy or papah wherever we go.
3. Must try all food regardless how weird they looked
4. Oh-shit, I forgot what the 4th one was, but yes, there was. I need to ask meimei or didi.
On the way back to the hotel, I so wanted to taste my very first tomyum already, but the kids so wanted to go back to the room and shower. Since a stall was just right outside the hotel entrance, we took the kids back first and told them to stay in there quietly and take their shower by themselves while both my hubs and I go back down to eat a little bit of tomyum supper. They obliged happily.
Hubs was not very good in ordering food, but we had a little bit of something while I satisfy my craving for tomyum for the moment. I was still pretty worried about the kids, and hurriedly ate our supper to go back to the room. Somehow, all those scenes from the movie "Taken" kept flashing back in my mind. Yeah, I was getting paranoid. It was a relief to see them in comfort lying around in the room. We went to sleep very late that night.

when on vacation, the principle "i don't care" applies.
oh, the 4th rule, i remember now, i told them, no ipad or gadgets, but guess that fell on deaf ears (including mine) :(
Speaking of Tom Yam, really make me saliva drooling lo...somemore, the authentic Tom Yam in Thai, so envy u for those good foods.
