Visa renewal

So today I go with Maddy and Louise to renew our visas. As a tourist you get a 30 day visa bit with things not really opening up I Bite the bullet and decide I'm gonna stick it out I'm Thailand a little bit longer. I still have the North to do and I'm contemplating doing the full moon party even though I think I might be the oldest person there. We share a grab taxi to the immigration office and as we're early there are only a few people waiting. I had over my passport and they ask if I have a copy when I say I Don't they tell me it will be an extra 100 baht so In total my visa costs about £44 I agree and after 10 mins of waiting they call me back to the counter and a couple of signatures later have an additional 30 days in my passport. People really stress out about the visa etc but the Thai people want you to stay here and spend your money so they're not going to make it difficult.
I am in quite a lot of pain with my shoulder and I don't know whether it's through the massage I had or whether it was from the frantic swimming I was doing yesterday so I invest in some tiger balm and smother myself in it. Forgetting to wash my hands its not long before I've touched my eye and the burn begins. I explore the local area and at the end of the street is a huge temple. kaewkawaram temple is the largest temple in Krabi although not as famous as tiger temple. It was built in 1887 when 200 Buddhist families arrived to estuary village (krabi). I explore the surroundings and find on the outskirts what I can only imagine is a cemetery, lot of miniature wot's (temples) all in a grouped area and just outside another huge temple under construction. I make my way back to the hostel and the heavens open with a massive Thunderstorm that brings torrential rain all night. Me and the girls make a dash for it to a little Italian restaurant just over the road and we're grateful for the rain because we enjoy the most delicious meal and are able to get an early night for a change.Read more
