Each afternoon after school I get on the shuttle bus which transports us from RIS out to the main road, a distance of about 3km. You can see the shuttle on the right of the photo at the top of Soi 184 that runs out to the school.
The walk home takes about 10 minutes and goes through a busy section of Ramkhamhaeng Road, with lots of shops, stalls and activity.
The motorbike is a popular form of transport and one of the first shops is the motorbike dealer. New bikes start at about 30000 Baht, around $1000. The motorbikes share the footpath with pedestrians so you have to be careful they don't run you over. There is a covered market on the way home, which is a good spot to get fruit and vegies as well as a variety of other household items and clothes.
The food vendors are next along the street, the smells of the cooking making you hungry. I often pick up barbequed chicken from here.
There are lots of other stores including pharmacies, hardware, hairdressers and even a comic store.
I then turn off the main road and into the street that runs down to the entrance of my mooban. The S&P restaurant specialises in cakes and the coffee is pretty decent.
The entrance to Parkway Chalet Village is a tree-lined street
Just before I arrive at my soi there is a pretty little park.
Finally I arrive at my soi and I am home!
Seems to be an abundance of fresh fruit and vegies so make sure you eat plenty. Thats just mum talk making sure you are eating well and getting your vitamins. It is so pretty around where you live with the beautiful trees and parkland. You are very fortunate to have such a place to live.
