Laid Back Lampang

We couldn't resist starting the day with another magnificent pineapple. Once again it was awesome, so tasty!

After finishing our daily 'free' coffee we begin a tour of the other side of the river. There wasnt as many shops this side, more houses and long straight roads. We stumbled across a beautiful wat with an interesting history and a huge reclining Buddha. We stopped in Little Big C and found they had a few things down to half price. First course was a pork floss sandwich, followed by a mini pizza. All this was topped off with a strawberry Swiss roll. Not our usual Thai lunch extravaganza but it tasted pretty good.

Back at the hotel we put our feet up and research our next country - Myanmar, which sounds like an interesting place.

Dinner was at our regular restaurant. Hard to beat for the price and quality. It is hard to believe they can produce such good food for the money. Everyday we have eaten there it is totally full. They also have 2 floors and a large number of tables. The ordering is super efficient. You write down the number of the item you want and it appears a few minutes later. The 'tidy-er-upers' stack everything from the table in a large tray in super fast time. When the bill is required the waiter looks at the plates,  does a quick calculation and .... out pops the price. It seems to us that the cost of the meal must relate to the different size or colour of the plates. Or, these waiters are some kind of genius!

Rice crackers purchased as we left the restaurant and headed to our next regular spot, the pineapple lady. 2 pineapples neatly chopped and ready to eat later .... we stopped at the hot soya milk store. We pointed at a green liquid, the stall holder translated, green tea. We didn't fancy that so asked about another drink they had with white 'frogspawn' in. We never found out exactly what that was and the next drink we pointed at seemed to have lumpy yoghurt in it. Anyway, we ended up with 2 drinks to try.

We saved our exciting purchases until we arrived back at the hotel. One was ginger with lumps of soya, another was soya milk with frogspawn jelly things!
