The usual haze had lifted, exposing clear blue skies. In England, this meant it was going to be a very cold day. As it turned out, in Thailand it meant the exact opposite... If we thought we'd experienced unbearable heat, today was going to take it to a whole new level.I Skyped with my mom while Edd took our washing down the road. He also went in search of food and bus tickets to Loas for the next day. He returned an hour later to me still Skying with my mom,...

We woke up relatively early, but stayed in bed and had a lazy morning. We had to decide what to do for the day and I announced I wanted to go to Catmosphere Cat Cafe. It was a 3.4km walk from where we were, on the same road as the shopping centre from the day before. I needed a new charging wire for my phone as my old one's plastic had come off and all the silver wires inside were exposed, so it was 2 birds with 1 stone.It took us an hour to get to the cat ca...

We were collected from our hotel at 8.35 by a Thai woman called Benny. She was also very enthusiastic and I was starting to think it was a Thai trait. We hopped on the back of a truck thing and there were 6 other peo...

Edd went in search of food early as we were being collected at 8am. I stayed behind to pack our bag, as there was a list of things we needed to take with us for the day. He came back with a croissant and a coffee from the 7/11 as everything was still closed and we munched on our breakfast while we waited to be picked up.We were collected by an overenthusiastic, young Thai guy. It turned out he had verbal diarrhoea and the hour journey to the elephant camp was goi...
