Travel Log Part 13
Monday, March 12, 10:30 pm
Today has been good. We stayed at the hotel in Sukhotai until 2pm relaxing. I watched some TV, read, called S (I had to walk down the street to a pay phone), swam and took a nap - very nice.
At 2:00, we rode to Kamphaeng Phet. We toured more ancient ruins there, then came back to our hotel before going out to dinner.
Tomorrow, we tour a bank, a hospital, and the Beer Chang factory.

Good day today - toured public hospital with a 1:10,000 doctor/patient ratio. Anyone can come to the hospital for 30 baht (a little less than $1.00). Inefficient system.
We also visited a bank - seems similar to American banking system. Had some translation issues, so didn't learn quite as much as I had hoped.
We had yummy noodles for lunch, then visited the Beer Chang factory which was by far the most state-of-the-art factory we've seen here. It was quite impressive. Chang produces one million bottles of beer a day and employees about 1,000 people. The average line worker makes about $1.40 an hour.

After that, we went and got our hair washed at a salon. The wash wasn't as good as the last one, but it was still nice.

Posted by: emily at May 2, 2007 06:16 PMYou can, but why would you when you can have someone do it for you? It was luxurious, inexpensive, and made me look much more attractive than I did when I went to bed with wet hair, which was my typical styling method in Thailand.
