1 May We wake up early to make the 10h00 bus, bags packed we headed out for breakfast having found a nice little restaurant offering a full English breakfast for only 50 Baht. After the breakfast we head home but stop short at a book store where we try to buy two books and exchange one of Leanne's. The lady doesn't want to reduce the price nor does she want to exchange the other book, which to be honest had seen better days. We wait for 10 minutes for the owner t...

He had filled the lake with species such as Mekong Catfish growing 120 kg, Arapama, Red tail catfish, Siamese Carp ...

27 AprilToday was one of those Saturday mornings where one sleeps late, waking up every 30 minutes but opting to role over and sleep again, except it was a Monday. We got up eventually, headed for breakfast, had omelets, toast, fruit platter and coffee and headed for an electric shop to find a converter from Malaysia to Thailand for the laptop and a new simcard for the cellphone.
