IconSiam birthday lunch day out with Apple
This was lunch for Apple’s birthday which was due on the 13th but we ended up going on Good Friday which was okay . We checked out the post office at Siam University it was closed as Apple said it would be although online it said it was open. I wanted to post my Visa application so will have to happen on Monday. Next we went past the bank that was close too. All good Apple was able to do the transfer she’s very clever when it comes to banks and anything to do with money and transferring also is a food gold mine she knows all about it.
So as we got closer to IconSiam the last 2 km took nearly as long as the whole journey another one of those Bangkok traffic jams. All entrances where blocked. Apple was able to attract one man’s attention a policeman I guess she said I need a wheelchair and wanted to come in so he moved the witches hats and in we went .
IconSiam was bustling with people and was incredibly busy so many people the Bangkok ants nest . I’ve been there a couple times before in years gone bye but this was a whole new trip. I decided to use their wheelchairs because on their website they come across a super friendly to the aged and disabled. The wheelchair wasn’t too bad reasonably comfortable with Apple doing the pushing. There was a lot of concrete floors where they had done the crazy paving that was a bit of a vibration. I did see a couple of other wheelchair folk and one was a Felang he gave me nod LOL .
So I think from now on it will be the Mall Thapra and I’ll take my own wheelie Walker. Not so crowded and there are the restaurants that we liked sizzlers and the Santa Fe.
My son Eli is in town now and we’re going to meet up on Sunday I mean Monday so that’s exciting it’s actually his birthday as well. He can certainly handle travelling went to the USA several times working in the snow and now is a successful landscape creator home maintenance professional on the Gold Coast. Likes to grow bonsai also .
Checked out all the restaurants and walked around quite a bit well I sat and Apple pushed and finally we couldn’t really find anything that looked good for us . Apple does not like to spend money on expensive food I’m personally also think it’s a bit of a waste being a chef food is food we all know where it ends up.
So eventually we landed back at square one the ground floor. We parked ourselves in this cute little cafe you’ll see it on the video. Apple was busy ordering as usual she is right on point and pretty soon we had a couple of plates with with the rice on each one plus cutlery and a small bowl which I really turned out to delicious sort of a pork and a sauce not too spicy was rather delicious.
Apple went and got drinks Coke zero for me and some kind of juice for her. Apple is the perfect lover girlfriend companion I know I’m very fortunate but I feel I do deserve a comfortable life looking back. Life is been a great experience. So now I’m on the 22nd floor have a great condominium and a fantastic owner . Never really see him just pay the rent 8K a month. It has two rooms a bathroom a kitchen and two air airconditioners which I run quite a bit.
Okay so getting back to the events at icon Sam are you seeing the video we were having lunch in the small cafe and suddenly Apple got a shocked look and was grasping at here neck missing the Gold chain she was wearing Real Gold .
Now I knew if it had dropped off somewhere we had been, that was it it, was gone for ever. But lo and behold as luck would have it Apple felt around and it was trapped in her dress so we went from absolute Panic to pure joy talk about a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Anyway that was one of the highlights of the day. We ended up going to the supermarket got a good deal on some cheese two for one, some peanut butter couple loaves of super duper bread. So next we are headed to the exit. Hi 5 to Apple for pushing me around next time it’ll be wheely Walker in the in the Mall Thapra it’s really a top close and close to home.
So will get to the taxi area little preferential wheel chair person treatment. Before long we return on home a little bit tired so went to bed.
