Valentines day with my new Wife

In Pattaya, he and his wife ride a motorbike to a boat outing, worrying about speed, stops, and missing helmets. They arrive at a hotel with individual buildings, numerous cats and dogs, a tiny swimming pool, and a beach view. He criticizes the bare concrete floors and bathroom, but likes the soft bed, ocean view, and possibility of swimming.

The outing combines leisure and tropical novelty with persistent safety anxiety and dissatisfaction about comfort.
