Hat Jai-Thailand

We were both very excited to catch up with our long lost friend Gerry and his lovely partner Ooy! We had been to see them before in Hat Yai so we knew what to expect from the place. Its an interesting place with a huge mix of Thai,Malaysian and Chinese people and is a big business centre....for Gerry i think its just a nice place to get away from all the other ex pats.
Gerry very kindly put us up for the whole time we were there and fed and watered us....thanks very much Gerald! We took Ooy to the movies to see John Carter...don't think she was that impressed with the movie but she loved the popcorn lol! In a Thai cinema before the feature starts you have to stand for the national anthem and the kings portrait on the screen....very strange!The ongoing joke was that Gerry kept asking Ooy if she liked the movie and Ooy kept replying in her Thairish accent (Thai and Irish) REALLLY!!!very funny if you were there!
We were also pleased to be there for Ooys birthday....so we went out for a lovely meal and then to the post laser disc for some live music and so Ooy could have vodka splite (vodka sprite lol! ) It was lovely to see her have such a great time!

We had a lovely time....cant wait to see you two again!!
