Matt is back on form today and feeling more himself. We were still on takeout food from our favourite restaurant as Matt still isn't eating properly. During our pick up today we were intrigued to find out where our favourite cook was and if she was coming back soon (as the food really hasn't been the same for the past few days). The conversation was interested and concluded with Mon drawing is pictures as her English is not very good. The picture showed a girl be...

Thank god for frosties. They are the first thing Matt has been able to stomach for the last 2 days. We don't quite understand the label on the milk that the shop sells, but we think we have concluded it contains 30% fat and it tastes like it. Because we have no bowls or spoons, he has to ram in a mouthful before taking a large swig of the cream, using his mouth as the mixing vessel. It's not a pleasant sight.

But if you don't have any imagination here it is.... - Wait till the sun has set - Dig a hole in fron...

Highlight of today. Not only do the majority of motorbikes in Thailand have no fuel gauge or speedometers but today we saw bikes with no lights, in the dark. A common way that the riders were overcoming the issue is to turn on their phone torch and hold it in their hands.
