COPING WITH BANGKOK WEATHER

I finally found it. A spa- Jacuzzi for our patio. I had searched the internet and many stores with no luck. And then we found a dealer just up the next alley within easy walking distance from our house. Turns out he was on the internet, I was looking in the wrong place.

The thing is large, seating eight, but fits easily into our patio. By hanging shades from the patio awning we gained complete privacy and added near 600 square feet (23X25) of living space to our residence. There’s still ample room for a vehicle should we need it.

I don’t know why there aren’t more of these in Bangkok. They would fit easily into the layout of most houses and can be used year round.

The Jungle Princess has gone through some changes regarding her attitude towards bathing attire. In our early times together if I merely pointed to a mannequin wearing a swim suit, she would blush and turn away. For our trip to Singapore she finally bought a suit, but she had to have the kind that came with a sash that she could rap around the bottom, and she doubted she would wear it. She wore it in Singapore. She spent hours in the pool. That was the high light of her trip.

Now she has evolved further and we spend many happy hours in our spa.
