We have been busy lately with a number of visitors: Tom's parents just left (post to follow) and Nirmala's former colleague Olivier and his wife Daniele with their daughter Lila were here for a few days earlier this month. We went to Bang Pa-In with them on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Sunny is a bit of an understatement: boiling would be a better description. The temperatures have reached very high levels in Bangkok now, ranging between 30°C and 40°C during the day. The rainy season will start in April, and the humidity is already building up. Bang Pa-In is the former summer residence of the Kings of Thailand about 70 km north of Bangkok. It is a nice park with a collection of interesting buildings, ranging from European-style palaces to a Chinese mansion, Thai pavilion and a watchtower. It was nice to be out of the city and see some greenery, including some nicely sculpted shrubs.
