Like yesterday we slept well with the family in Lat Krabang. And fortunately, there is no unpleasant surprise by e-mail today either.
Pia is impressed by the mangoes that Phranom and Chouy brought yesterday.
That's why she wants to try to drive to their garden in
Suphan Buri province today.
Moue comes along because she knows the way, Tom can drive.
We do not know whether we can really get there, roads may have been blocked due to COVID-19.
At 11 o'clock we leave, via the eastern ring road towards Ayuthaya and then via all kinds
of roads finally to the city of Suphan Buri and then towards U-thong.
On the way we are in a traffic jam, at first we think it is a COVID-19 check, but
unfortunately it is for an accident.
After searching and calling we find the garden.
It is quite large, and there are mainly many fruit trees growing.
It is a pity that Phranom and Chouy have quite a biting dog, this year Pia is screwed.
Not serious, but it's not fun.
We look around and stay for a few hours.
It is warm, but not as bad as in Bangkok, and the air seems a lot cleaner.
As an aside, the air also seems to have become a lot cleaner in Bangkok.
Along the way, it is also noticeable that outside cities the prohibition to eat in a
restaurant is not enforced very well.
Just before we drive back the cry 'curfew' comes from somewhere, it is not clear where from.
On the way back we do get to a COVID-19 check, but after the temperature has been measured
we can continue.
We are back in Lat Krabang around seven o'clock.
Tom checks news reports but there is nothing to be found about a curfew.
There is nothing to do in Bangkok, most people stay at home anyway.
