It's easy to tell what a business does as you're walking around Chon Buri because every shop expands to fill all available space, including the sidewalk.
This place machined and rebuilt heads.
Another short set of photos, this time of the clinic trip to their beach house, which was bookended by the Thepsathit Phra Kiti Chalerm Chinese Shrine and visiting the monkeys that live on the mountain near the house.
The shrine was a lot showier than most of the places we visited in Thailand. Here's a view of the main building and central fountain from the entrance.
We stayed at the Chon Inter Hotel in Chonburi, and it was one of the tallest buildings in the area, so it wasn't long until I found roof access.
Before we get into today's Clinic-run outing to Pattaya, special credit needs to be given to our guide:
She taught us that the Thai equivalent of "herding cats" is "gathering crabs". Such was her day with our group.
Today we were discharged from the hospital after an uneventful recovery. The best kind of hospital stay. Let's go through the events of the last week.
I wasn't expecting much of a view from our hospital room, and came ready to write off the next week. If this was all I saw on my birthday, I wasn't going to be disappointed.
How silly. The views from up here are magnificent.
On our last day of freedom before checking into the hospital, I spent the evening exploring Chonburi with my camera.
The day before I left for Thailand, I did some walking around the city. One of the things I like about a place so dense is that you're pretty much constantly seeing something new.
The reason I flew into the bay area early was to attend the annual hike in memory of Vinay. Pretty much the whole family showed up again this year, as well as some friends. It was nice to see everybody again.
This year the hike was at Uvas Canyon County Park, which is a gorgeous Calvin & Hobbes kind of place.
