Life of Pai

I need a breakfast this morning but remarkably have no hangover .Either that or I'm still drunk. All the girls join for breakfast and it's nice as Louise leah and Rach are shipping out today and still have to pack. I discuss with the other 2 girls getting a bike later today and having it so we can do the sunrise tomorrow. At the bottom of the garden where I'm staying there is a river with swings and a little wooden platform where I can sit with my feet In the water reading my book. The nature here is amazing and I sit listening to the birds singing. I go local for a bite to eat and within 10 minutes the heavens open and it pours for nearly 2 hours. This is a good thing as it's smoking season in the North which is where the burn all the leaves that have fallen off the trees which makes the air quite thick with smoke and the smell isn't great either. I'm constantly bumping into people who I've met along the route and because I'm so recognisable with my age and cropped hair I stick out like a sore thumb. In the evening we end up in the usual haunts on the way to the bar i need cigarettes and as i walk into the shop the owner has just left and a local thai guy tells me to wait so i joke with him leaning over the counter to pretend to lòok for the owner and turn back to the local and shake my head. He finds it that funny he tells the owner when he comes back and he even asks to take a picture the boom bar is open so instead of going to the sunset bar I stay at boom as its literally opposite my bungalow so I can roll into bed.Read more
