So, we left Bangkok yesterday at 8AM, and took a Mini-bus to Trat. Trat is known to be a small fishing town, where many travelers just come for a night and then go off to nearby islands or cambodia. We decided we'd like to stay here a couple days just to relax and unwind, and it's really cheap! As soon as we got here I had a good feeling, you can tell it's small just from driving from one end of town to the other, takes no time. - And the buildings are all old =) - Also everyone on the streets is super friendly and wants to help you! Everyone smiles and says hello like they know you=)
We checked into a guesthouse suggested to us by our travel book, again, really nice people running it. Our bungalow is only $3 each a night! and our dinner was delicious and cheap too! - I got a small water, a small beer, and veggies and noodles fried in black bean sauce for $3!!!
We went to the night market after dinner, happens everynight. Good colours and smells and cheap nicknacks. I indulged in another Thai pan-cake. - The doh is like rotti, - This time I got banana and chocolate sauce, topped with condensed milk and sugar. OH MY GOD.
this morning I got up early and went for breakfast by myself, was greeted by a very friendly older Thai lady in her little restaurant and had a yummy eggs, toast and coffee there.
I really, really love it here. It might seem borring to some people, but that's sort of what I like, it is so quiet and calm. There is a lake here that I want to walk to today...
Anyways, here for a couple days, then cambodia...
