Home - Journeys - Thailand and Vietnam 2025 - Thursday, February 13, 2025
We slept reasonably well at the family in Lat Krabang, better than the last few nights here. Maybe we are starting to get used to the time difference. We never had much trouble with that on the outward journey, but now we might suddenly.
The past few days, the cat, who now goes outside at night, has always been waiting in front
of the door.
Not today, Tom heard the cat, who is clearly in heat, meowing last night, but there is no
cat in front of the door.
Around a quarter to ten we hear more meowing, but we see no cat.
Just after ten meowing again and the cat comes walking, with only one goal, the bowl with
food and then sleeping behind a cloth that is over a couch.
Tom wants to buy new slippers and shorts today.
So we take a 'call' taxi to Robinson in Lat Krabang
around 12 o'clock.
The first thing we come across is an offer, shorts, 2 for the price of 1, and it's also a
heavily reduced price.
There are still two pairs of pants in Tom's size, the rest are all much too small.
We buy two pairs of pants for Thb 790, originally Thb 1400 each.
On to the shoes.
There, after some searching, we find the desired shoe brand on another floor,
Sketchers, but no slippers that suit.
The salesperson tells us that the sports shop next to Robinson also sells Sketchers.
We look around the floor where we are now and Pia buys a blouse and long pants there.
In the sports shop we find the desired shoe brand, but no slippers, we'll look further
another time, we're in no hurry.
We cross the road and go eat at
Krua Muang Ve, a restaurant that sells Vietnamese and I-san dishes.
We eat deliciously and the price is very reasonable.
Then Pia wants to go to the
Paseo Lat Krabang and so we cross the road again.
We come across a stall with fruit, mango, papaya, banana, and some things are bought.
In the Paseo we first go to a drugstore where we buy sunscreen and then we go to
Villa Market for yoghurt.
This Villa Market has a wider range than the Villa Market diagonally opposite on the other
side of the road.
Finally, Pia goes to look at Daiso, a Japanese
Action.
We go back home by regular taxi.
Pia wants to eat more and she does that together with all the cousins, Tom is no longer
hungry after the Vietnamese food and does not eat with them.
The still in heat cat has gone for a walk again.

We tell what we have done and experienced during a trip and we also tell what we think about it; no more and no less.
This is not a travel guide, nor is it advice to visit a place or not.
There are other sites for that.
Our opinion about places where we have eaten, drunk or slept is not intended as a (positive or negative) assessment,
there are other sites for that.
It is our view of the situation at a certain moment and that view is influenced by our mood,
the weather and many other factors.
