Well, today is my penultimate day in school, I'm utilising it well as you can see. I thought I'd take the opportunity to tap away one last little entry from Saraburi before my parents arrive and I embark on the next three months of my journey. So where to next? Well, my lovely mum and dad get here tomorrow evening, and I absolutely can't wait having not seen them for over five months (and they're bringing an empty suitcase to take back my many, many purchases!) ...

Paradise it was not; hadn't been refurbished since at least the eighties, smelt of sew...

Decided to have a lazy weekend in Saraburi seeing as I've got lots of travel coming up in the next fortnight. Got up at a reasonable 9.30 on Saturday morning and took myself off to some local caves in the next province.
