Last night we went into the old town where we like to wonder for coffee and people watching anyway. Three streets were closed off for a street festival. There were stages in the middle of the streets with performers doing acrobatics, comedy etc. Around the edges were stalls selling food and clothes and other random bits and pieces. There were huge globes lighting the streets as well as fairy lights and the atmosphere was really good. We sat around a fountain with a golden dragon in the middle and ate various street food and drank a can of beer while acrobats twirled on long ribbons and in hoops to Portishead. (Oh yes, Ed I listened to Portishead in Thailand eating savoury pancakes and drinking Leo).
Today we went to watch FC Phuket play a match to get them one step away from promotion to the next league. We met Ad (the man who runs the bar known mostly to us as 'downstairs' or The Old Tricycle with his family. He took us to where he normally sits where we met his friends and were suppled with beer by a rich looking German man. Anyway. Phuket won the match 2-0 so it was exciting to watch. There was a strange delay after half time when the opposing team came out in their home strip after playing the 1st half in their away colours. They were promptly dispatched to change back again and the game continued.
I hope the snow isn't causing too much hassle. Also I really hope Heathrow isn't closed when we try and get in!
