Long weekends away There are two long weekends in august and they just so happen to be the first two weekends of August and over my birthday. So in true style I decided both should be taken full advantage off. The first weekend was spent in Koh Chang, an island in the provience of Trat. I left straight from school on wednesday and even missed the last fifteen minutes of my lesson in an eager attempt to leave Chaiyaphum and start my weekend. Arrived in Bangkok ...

Being on the bus by 7am seemed like a reasonable thing to do. I would be awake anyway at that time if I was going to school and I would be at jades much quicker. This was not to be the case. After arriving in Khon kaen pretty seemlessly at about 10am I went straight to the visa place to extent my visa.

I looked to my right and there was a control panel. Being the stupidly inquisitive person I am I had to press a button. The next thing ...

I realised the other day that it has been a month since i wrote on this blog, then i got caught up with christian grey (the book) and a week went by without noticing...I am sorry. I have done so much in a month, being in Thailand makes me do something different every weekend. No chill out days for me.
