Phai got her flowers but it was too hot to plant this afternoon.

We went to our friends house where Phai gathered some flowers and plants. The friend has so many that you cannot tell any have been removed. This morning started cool and overcast but by early afternoon it was bright sun and probably the hottest day in over a month. 

I am really enjoying "my" dog. Since I pay attention to our dog (his name is "Teep") he follows me around. For twenty years old he is doing great and can still chase trucks with the best of them. He now puts his paw up to shake my hand when I pet him. Phai makes me wash my hands every time I pet him and I have to admit he does have an air about him. I would love to give him a bath but I don't think he would stand still for that. I have always loved animals and it will be sad for me when we leave to come back to the states because at twenty years old I doubt he will be here when we return in a couple of years. 

Other than that it was an uneventful day. We did make it into town to buy a special holder for our Buddha statue that will mount on the wall in our living room. Not sure when we will put it up but I will take a picture for you when we do. Also our son in law mounted our new mirrors, shelves and towel racks in the bathroom. The house feels more like home every day. I really had no idea when it was under construction how much I would like it. It exceeds my expectations by a mile. 

Well, no new photos for you today but I do have a few unique Thai signs for you.

souvenior shop

Actually, I liked the Thai spelling better.

foreigner-pays-more

How is that for truth in advertising. Lucky for me that charging Falangs more for things has not reach the village yet. Even at 50% more it is still far cheaper than in the U.S.

I was looking forward to my next visit to McDonalds until I saw this. 

israelis-not-welcome

The sign does not surprise me since according to Wikipedia "The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim." 

uninconvenience

What can I say, according to this sign it must be convenient.
