Bangkok Week 648

November 25, 2020

Arlo sees several friends, and goes back to music class again. This album is shortened by 1 day; stay tuned for our trip to Hua Hin in next week’s album!

Good morning! Arlo's showing off his bottle-twirling tricks.

Friday playdate at Sally's house. But the host is still asleep!

So lucky Arlo has all the trucks to himself.

Wondering if he really has to share.

Mr. Sociable: eating his apple in a corner, while the ladies play together.

Saturday morning books with Dad!

Waiting patiently upstairs while K. Wan vacuums downstairs.

Who needs the kids' version of this IKEA chair when you can command the adult version instead?

Ice cream! Impulse buy from the vendor as he waded through flood waters.

Arlo's pleased with the decision!

More books with Dad - never gets old.

Running errands, and getting some exercise, at Donki.

This way, Dad!

Woww.... The stairs are moving.

Saying hello to the bald man.

Playing with all the nobs on the vending machines. So many circular nobs!

Ooh, golf clubs. Let's check out this store.

Not so sure about the golf clubs. But the balls are nice.

Last stop: the veggie store across the street.

It has a nice open space for Arlo to run around in.

We tried a new American-style Chinese restaurant for dinner. Delish!

They've even got the boxes right.

Enjoying his tunnel on Sunday morning.

Working on some of the shapes other than the cylinder.

Nap time on Dad. Arlo's graduated from Mum.

Then we met Quinn and Mae for lunch near their place.

Quinn and Arlo made themselves right at home. Cars and all.

Arlo had fun playing with Quinn's cars.

A good lunch! But we spoiled it for the Instagrammers.

Next stop: said Chinese temple across the street.

Starting at the top: it affords great views of Bangkok, as the tallest structure in the area.

Looking downtown.

Arlo liked the colorful paintings on the wall.

But even better than the paintings were the plush carpet floors on every floor of the tower!

A nice, open area for the kiddos to run around.

There's our car! Good thing it's in the shade.

The stairs are easy to climb up: but Arlo's realizing he's never figured out climbing down.

Two lockpickers-in-training.

And trying their hands at some of the chipped tiles out front.

Monday: Arlo and I were modeling for Merimekko.

Looking comfy.

Tuesday, Arlo went back to his music class with K. Noi.

And on the way home, a special treat: a London-style taxi.

Let's see how long this service lasts!

Modeling his favorite watermelon shorts on Wednesday.

Waiting patiently, since we got to swimming really early.

Watching the younger kids, and enjoying his apple.

Giving K. Noi her birthday card, a few days early. Happy Birthday, k. Noi!

Arlo recognizes the baby in the photos!

Comparing the size of their apples.

Good night! See you in Hua Hin!
