I have moved to this wee cabin, just one room and a bathroom, very clean and totally adequate, at 400Baht per night. I was a bit worried about the bed at first, as it is old fashioned wire, inner sprung matress, but surprisingly I found it very comfortable. It is only steps to the beach, and very quiet, off season at present so not too many people around. The restaurant here closes at 6pm!! ha ha, who knows why?? I can either eat early, or walk down beach to the next one, so doesn't matter. The weather is warm, windy and overcast at present, very pleasant for long walks, or sitting in swing chair with book. very very relaxing, and I have booked for 2 weeks, don't know how I'm going to stand it!
It was hard saying goodbye to my lovely new friends, as they are the only people I know in this whole country. It is amazing how intense friendships become in this situation, it felt as though we had known each other a lifetime, but really, it was less than 1 week, incredible! I even find myself talking to myself with a svedish accent! lol I think we will catch up again as they are coming back this way soon, but have to cross the border to Cambodia to renew their visa. I am happy about the solitude at present though, this was my plan and a good way to feel aclimatised, and feel strong and healthy. No wine here, I have the occasional beer, but mostly drink water, I am feeling very well and happy, thanks for all your good wishes, Caio 4 now...(note to self: find out what Thai for goodbye is!)
