A tourist in my own city

Having spent almost a month touring Thailand and stopping to rest in Chachoengsao it was now time to see what the city had to offer. Therefore I spent a weekend as a tourist in my own city with the first stop being a restaurant for dinner. As we sat to eat the waiter lit the fire in the middle of our table and put a cooking plate over the top.
We had choosen without knowing an all you can eat barbeque where you help yourself to food then cook it yourself. The couple on the table next to us were trying to have a quiet meal together but ended up spending half their night helping us cook our food. We were able to work it out and had some large helpings of food. The barbeque only costs 89 Baht per person all you can eat (about $3 Australian) but if you help yourself to food then do not eat it they charge you 50 baht per piece of food.
A visit to Sun. Moon the local hangout for the farangs followed dinner which is a comfortable bar and got spot to sit and talk. Only problem is its not really local from where we live.
The following morning I got on a songtheaw (small bus) outside my apartment to find out where it went and ended up at the Wat Sothorn the main large temple in the city and the most popular tourist destinations in the city. I think the outside of the building is more impressive than the inside. The temple is surrounded by markets selling items which people leave behind in the temples as offerings.
After the visit to the temple I walked the streets passing about twenty hairdressers. If felt it was a sign I needed my haircut, I had been nervous about getting it cut as every man in Thailand has the same short back and sides army cut. I found what I thought was the most professional looking ie. Not in a kitchen and got my hair cut. The lady took me into a back room washed my hair about four times, gave me a full shoulder, head and neck message then actually cut my hair. No reason to be nervous it looked quite good.
A return visit to Sun.Moon as I was all set to experience the city nightclub I received a call to say Tim the Aussie I live with was in a hospital in Pattaya and needed his passport and insurance details. It’s a good thing we have joining rooms and I was able to get in there and tell them to him.
Sunday morning I spent a couple of hours at the Banmai Market again one of the main tourist spots in Chachoengsao before exploring many more of the markets in the city.
Monday is was back to school to begin another week.
