King Rama 9 Park

Yesterday we went to the King Rama 9 Park. The park was beautiful and had a wonderful cactus garden. What we didn't expect to find were larger than live sized white canvas rabbits wearing scarves.

They also had a large collection of bromeliads and orchids which Jim went crazy over.

The park is in back of a big mall. The bus dropped us off in front of the mall and as we went in the first thing we saw was an A&W Root Beer restaurant. So, we had to stop so that Jim could get his root beer float, in a real glass mug, unlike in the U.S. where they only give you paper cups. Laura had an iced coffee float.

The mall had an ice skating rink inside of it, where we watched people skating. They also had larger than life sized penguins on the ice to help the little kids learn ice skating. Below is a photo of the center part of the mall. The ice rink was off one wing of the mall.

To get to the park we took a local non-air-conditioned bus for about 50 minutes. What fascinated Laura about the buses were their wooden floors.

What fascinated Jim was going past the local Lamborghini/Lotus dealership and then past the Tesla dealership. When we went past the Lamborghini dealership on the way back they were unloading a Lamborghini from a flat bed tow truck. Jim's only thought was "How much is that repair going to cost?" But, it was a beautiful black Lamborghini.
