Typical Thai

We took a walk into the little town of Maenam a few days ago where we went to see a travel agent to make reservations for our flight to Bali. Being here on an island there are fewer options and more cost. But she came up with a plan to fly from Samui to Phuket on the early morning flight. Then Malaysian Air to KL, layover 4 hours, and then final flight to Bali. Long day but at least we get there in one day. Most flights required a nite in either Phuket or KL. We walked back a couple of days later to pay for the tickets and her little shop was closed. Next door was a small dental office. Ron went in and asked the receptionist if she could call the travel agent. She did, and it turns out she went to BKK for a week. So much for our reservations. So typical. Today we have to take a taxi into the main town and see if we can get the same flights. Hope they are not sold out, or more money. The dental office was cute. You have to remove your shoes before entering, so everyone is barefooted. The two girls there had on pale pink smocks, and when I peeked into one of the rooms, everything including the patient chair was pink. Must be a woman DDS. They posted a menu of options they could perform for you. Under cleanings it said, "light", "medium", or "hard". I found that interesting.
