Sunny 555

We had a relaxing Saturday of doing, well, nothing (I was feeling a bit sick the night before but luckily it didn't progress to anything nasty. Phew!) but when some of our group wanted to go mini golfing we couldn't stay home any longer. We all piled into the truck and went to Sunny 555, a restaurant where mini golfing is included with any purchase. In Thai, the number 5 is ‘hah,’ so ‘555’ is a cute way of writing ‘hahaha,’ and we’re guessing that’s what this mini golf place was referring to with its name. Their menu was large and featured a lot of American food, but we quickly noticed that the American half of the menu was verrrry expensive and only written in English, and the Thai food was priced at what you’d expect but was only written in Thai. That didn't fly with us, so we figured out a way to order fried rice and noodle soup. They were both great, and were about a fourth of the price of an American dish. When in Thailand, eat Thai food!

The golf was a little bit silly because there was just concrete on the courses, with standing water here and there and lots of right angles on walls that made it hard to get a whole in less than 8 strokes. It was a good time, though!


Notice the Thai kid trying to fish something out of the water. Nice.

Concrete is difficult..

  1. Hahaha I am laughing over the "555" thing. That's hilarious. Also, concrete? Come on! And I think you guys are smart for not being duped by the tourist trap of expensive American food (which probably would have been Thai-tainted anyway, right?). Glad you're feeling better An!

  2. Andrea mentioned she was feeling sick last night. Since the time zone in Thailand is 12 hours different that means she was feeling queezy in the morning hours here in Utah (where her body clock is probably still set). You know what morning sickness means?!?! Congrats you guys! :-)
