• Sunrise School run

    9 Mac 2022, Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    I wake at 530 so I can go up the viewpoint with Maddy and Eliza . We have arranged to meet at the garage and I'm surprised how cold it is. When the girls arrive they are in jumpers and it really makes me think maybe I should have done the same. The journey is about 20 minutes and as we head up my teeth are actually chattering. I'm surprised when we arrive there are a few people already up there and the guy is even there charging 20baht. The view is stunning and the sun is due to rise at 630. I'm shocked when just after this a few of the people leave. The sun always sets and rises behind the mountains and just after they leave a little red mark comes into the sky eventually growing into a bright red blob that looks lie its been made by a bingo dabber, really beautiful. We make the journey back down and there is a market where the Thai people go each day to buy there fresh products, further down the hill its the school run with kids in their uniform bundled onto bikes to be dropped off at the towns school. They also have a school for more mature students so if they have come from Burma or somewhere to work here they can go at tge weekends to learn. I head to the immigration office to get my visa extended but find out I have to be in the place for 15 days so I will wait and do it in Krabi. I meet the girls for a farewell breakfast as they are heading out today to go to Cambodia. We eat at om garden and I struggle to eat because I feel so ropey. I bid farewell to the girls and book on for the Lod tour but that'll save for tomorrow.Baca lagi
