One of the big perks about living here is that it is so much easier to have a social life! Between cheap babysitting from our maid (about $2.50/hour, and she’ll make dinner, clean it up, supervise showers, get kids to bed, and the house is spotless when we get home!) and a driver to take you from one place to another (no need to have a designated driver!), plus lots of neat places to go with friends from all over, it’s easy to have stuff to do every weekend if we want! Sometimes we just head downtown and get dinner and people watch. Other nights we’ll go to a movie or bowling, and still other nights there will be a party at someone’s house around here. Always something to do!These pictures are from one night when just Rick and I went downtown. We headed to our favorite Soi 11 (soi is a street off a main road) where we had drinks on a rooftop bar as the sun was setting (and watched the guys working 20 stories up on the building next door - no OSHA here!), then dinner at a tasty, cheap Thai restaurant, then walked around and took in the night life, including yummy fried bug carts (nope, we didn't eat any!) and our favorite evening stop, the truck bar, where the guy parks his truck, puts down the sides, and has a full service bar, complete with music playing and disco lights going! Can't beat it! :)
