Re: Christmas 2020
With my kids, and grandkids, back in the states I can really concentrate on what Christmas is all about, eating and drinking!!
Merry Christmas all!

Re: Christmas 2020
Yes, Happy Christmas!
Actually, against all the odds, I had an excellent Christmas eve dinner from an elderly couple down the road from me who very kindly took pity on me and invited me into their home this evening!

Re: Christmas 2020
I trust you weren’t breaking any lockdown rules?
Merry Christmas!!
Re: Christmas 2020
No, you're allowed to invite into your home up to two people from one household here at the moment. I was very happy to be invited anywhere because virtually everything is closed here until Monday, even supermarkets and I've been working too much to make any preparations.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 8:03 amI trust you weren’t breaking any lockdown rules?
Merry Christmas!!
I even miss Thai 7-11's at times like this!

Re: Christmas 2020
Merry Christmas everyone. I’ve decided to try something new this year. Maybe it’ll become a tradition. Hired a place in Cha Am to bring this to my in-law’s and cook it out front. Will certainly be memorable, if anything.

Re: Christmas 2020
You see these being cooked every day on the road that leads to the beech in Cha Am - it’s not cheap mind you, so you must have taken out a second mortgage for that big girl (I’m assuming it’s not a big boy - that would be too big for a spit roast)!!Jack_Batty wrote:

Re: Christmas 2020
That’s a lot less than I was expecting - sold by the kg, it’s normally 300-350 Baht - enjoy!!Jack_Batty wrote:30kg for 4,000฿.

Re: Christmas 2020
It was fantastic! Perfectly cooked and TONS left over! 14 people had more than their fill.

Re: Christmas 2020
I've done the pig roast a few times in Hua Hin as Christmas also coincides with my partners birthday. It also makes you much more popular with any local Thai's than if you gave them a plate of turkey and Brussels sprouts!
I've just completed a 20km hike through the Ardennes forest, (extreme social distancing!) and there was a sprinkling of snow above 400m so at least I can claim a slightly white Christmas.
