Hello everyone

Around 9:40 a.m., we completed the task of collecting our luggage and headed downstairs to check out of the resort. Eager to embark on our journey, I assumed the role of the driver, a familiar position I often undertake. Driving has always been a source of comfort for me, allowing me to gauge the distance and navigate the road ahead.

As we prepared to depart, my mind already began contemplating the next adventure. In the upcoming month, I have plans to travel to Tak Province, this time embarking on a solo journey. The purpose of this trip is to visit my mother, whose health has been less than optimal. Concerned for her well-being, I aim to spend some time caring for her during my son's school break. The impending visit holds a mix of emotions— a desire to be there for my mother and an anticipation of the solitary journey that awaits me in Tak Province.

After spending some time on the road, the rumbling of our stomachs became a clear indication that hunger had set in. In search of a suitable place to satisfy our appetites, I kept an eye out for a spacious gas station that not only sold fuel but also served as a convenient rest stop. Eventually, we found a fitting gas station and decided to make a pit stop.

Initially, my craving was for a refreshing cold drink, but as soon as my friend ordered a tempting-looking bowl of noodles, hunger struck me unexpectedly. Unable to resist the allure of the delicious-looking noodles, I promptly placed an order for a bowl to satiate my growing appetite before resuming our journey. Sometimes, unexpected culinary discoveries at rest stop add an extra layer of enjoyment to a road trip.

Following our satisfying meal break, we continued our journey and found ourselves stopping for refueling on two more occasions. As the day progressed, around 5:40 p.m., we finally reached our destination – Phuket. A notable aspect of Phuket, however, is the constant presence of traffic jams, a characteristic that seems to persist nearly all the time. The bustling traffic presented a stark contrast to the serene coastal landscapes we had left behind, marking our return to the vibrant energy and challenges of city life in Phuket.

Upon our return home, my son and I were warmly welcomed by our two feline companions. Eager for attention, they nudged us, hinting at their desire to engage in playtime. With a playful spirit, we swung a rope back and forth, entertaining our furry friends.

As the cats' enthusiasm waned, they leaped onto the table, a clear signal that they were ready for a change of scenery. Understanding their cues, I paused my work, allowing them to venture outside and revel in the joy of outdoor play.

Subsequently, I opened the door to grant the two cats the freedom to explore and play in the outdoor surroundings. As the door swung open, they eagerly dashed outside, their feline curiosity leading them to new adventures in the open air. The simple act of opening the door marked the beginning of an outdoor escapade for our furry companions, and I couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm and the joy they found in the world just beyond our home.

As for myself, I turned my attention to the souvenir my mother had thoughtfully brought for me during our car journey – a sizable pomelo freshly plucked from the backyard. My sister, engaged in pomelo farming, sells these fruits at the market, along with strawberries sourced from Doi Muser Market.

When making my selection at the market, I opted for the white pomelos, considering their longer shelf life. Choosing the white variety over the red ensured that they would remain fresh during the journey back home, preventing any risk of spoilage. As I unpacked this thoughtful gift, I couldn't help but appreciate the connection between family, farming, and the flavors of the land that had accompanied me on the trip.

The combination of sweet and sour flavors found in strawberries and pomelos holds a special place in my heart. These fruits, with their delightful taste, bring a unique blend of sweetness and tartness that resonates with my palate. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is by adding a bit of spice and salt – a classic touch that enhances their flavors.

Dipping strawberries and pomelo slices in a mix of chili and salt creates a delicious contrast, elevating the overall taste experience. The marriage of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty notes creates a symphony of flavors that never fails to satisfy my taste buds. It's a simple yet delightful culinary indulgence that captures the essence of enjoying fresh, seasonal fruits.
