This is my last post from Chiang Mai as in about four hours I will be in the train back to Bangkok. Yesterday and this morning I have been taking it easy as I planned. I finished one book and traded it into another one. I also bought another book about emergence. I have started to read it and it seems quite interesting.

If my new passport is in promised schedule I will get it either tomorrow or day after tomorrow. After that I plan to take another train that will take me all the way south to Malaysia. I plan to stay a few days in Penang area, and return then back to Thailand and Phuket. The hotel in Phuket is booked from 22nd of Dec. onwards for me and Ville. Ville will arrive to Phuket airport Dec 23rd and I should meet him there.
