Hotel Room Day

I'm beat and haven't left the room today. The van from Pai to here, Chiang Rai, was uneventful, but we took a break at the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) for a few minutes. Beautiful! There I found another unusual ice cream conconction (the first being the ice cream sandwich, literally): a coconut corn popsicle. It's probably quite good, but no.

Last evening, I popped in the Aussie pub around the corner to watch the World Cup game versus Peru, but it was so bad I left at the half. When I got back, there was a safe in my room with the combination written on top. When I checked in earlier, I was not pleased that there was no safe as the Agoda app listed; it was one of the main reasons I chose this place. They don't speak English, Google Translate rarely works for Thai, and I have neither the skills nor the fortitude to explain why there's no point to using a safe you can walk off with.

I'm staying in bed and watching YouTube today, although I will probably pop around the corner to the 7 Eleven for food later.

Out for now. ✌️Read more
