Home - Journeys - Thailand and Vietnam 2025 - Wednesday, February 12, 2025


We slept well all night, except for a sanitary break, with the family in Lat Krabang.
When we come down, we are the first, the cat sits indignantly at the door waiting to come in and be fed.

Today the washing machine bought we last Monday will be delivered and connected and therefore the old machine has to be disconnected and taken outside. And when disconnecting the supply hose the tap breaks off, which means no running water for a while.

After some messing around in the mess next to the house, Moue manages to find a closing piece and with a screwdriver and hammer, after a long time, the broken piece is removed. The closing piece is put in place and then there is running water again.

Apparently, searching through the rubbish next to the house was so disappointing that Moue, together with all the children present, is now busy cleaning up the rubbish. After a while, there are two piles of rubbish somewhere else, one with mainly paper and another one right next to the rubbish bin with mainly plastic and the rest.

Because the new washing machine is being delivered today, space also needs to be made to bring the washing machine inside. The most logical way is over the driveway onto the veranda and then just go inside. But there is a car on the driveway that cannot be moved, there is no battery in it, and there is a golf cart that cannot be moved either because the batteries do not work or something like that.
So the new washing machine has to go over a difficult path across the lawn and up a narrow staircase to the veranda. On that with all the height differences. And on and in front of and next to the staircase there are a lot of slippers, it is a lot of effort to remove them, so that is what we do.

Pia is going to get involved and make a serious attempt to separate the waste a little bit. Friday, when the garbage truck comes by, we'll see what's left.

There is a large pile of laundry and Moue wants it clean and goes to a laundromat, we go along and stop on the way at a restaurant, ครัวสไบมอญ, along Thanon Liap Khlong Mon where we also ate previous trip.
Just like then, it tastes good now, but large portions. And we have the idea that the menu has been expanded.

In the afternoon at the agreed time, a car from Home Pro arrives with the washing machine.
After a lot of effort, the two people from the car manage to get the washing machine inside and after fifteen minutes it works.
Pia gives the people a big tip for their effort and as a thank you they bring the old washing machine outside.

In the evening, Pia plays cards with the children, Focus, Toon and Waan.
