The executive lounge arranged a driver on a 80-minute drive up north and back for around $30. The three tourist stops we made were an additional $30/person. 
First, Tiger Kingdom. More specifically, this was TIGER ENCOUNTER. Not on my bucket list, but high on that of my traveling partner. You don't see her because she was eaten by a tiger. Not really, but here I am in a mild state of trepidation below:
India has 60% of all tigers, while Thailand has 5%. Next, butterflies:
Ah....the two feet long centipede! Well, it might have been one foot. Then again, perhaps 8 inches, or less:

Orchids:
Back to the Le Meridien, a long bath with glass of Ballantine's Scotch on rocks, and on to the executive lounge for a champagne.
Wow, looks like a flying saucer! That's how this setting sun photo got distorted just before disappearance.
Then on to the night market, where ladyboy photos could be taken for a fee, so just walked by.
This morning,a light breakfast, for just across the street of my hotel are McDonald's, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken for a possible lunch.
Walked through an empty town to Burger King and got a Big Mac with fries, plus a bottle of Singha Thai Beer at 7/11. Added a glass of red wine:
Took a nap, then went to the executive lounge, where I first took a photo of the very accommodating staff:
Tomorrow, back to Bangkok, to, this time the venerable Grand Sheraton Sumkhmvit.
