FedEx at Nakglua,

is situated about 500 meters on the right going to Nakglua from the dolphin roundabout, it is at the back of a courtyard with The Balcony Terrace on the corner at the front, with a big sign outside it, every month or so we send 50 - 100 photographs back to Diana's family in the Philippines, if we get there before 3 o'clock in the afternoon Diana's family will receive them in the morning the very next day, not bad when you think there live at least two and a half hours outside Manila in a small town,
this is the view looking towards Nakglua,
and looking towards the dolphin roundabout,
easy to find as it has this nice fountain outside,
and this is the office at the back of the courtyard, from our own experience I have always found the staff here to be helpful and not that it matters speak very good English, the price for the pictures is always the same no matter how many we send, 586 baht, minimum charge I guess, as we were out we decided to have lunch so I asked Diana which restaurant she wanted to eat in, there are loads around the FedEx office,
yep, you guessed it! KFC in the Big C shopping center, so I had 2 small pieces of chicken and a diet Pepsi,
Diana had a chicken burger with extra fries, she explained that she misses fries so much!
then we went window shopping around the Big C shopping center,
just outside the center it has a water feature which for a change was working,
it was the first time I have been there that all of the fountains were working inside and out, it would have been nice to take some pictures of inside, but taking pictures is banned, national security I guess, but we spent a couple of hours looking at the various stalls, one which was really interesting was watching a craftsman etching or hammering a picture out of a sheet of metal, fascinating stuff but alas no picture taking, which seems bit of a shame as this was a cultural show with people performing various local and national arts and crafts which is only there for a few days.
