Today, I farewelled one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at and set off for the airport. I forget how much time is lost just getting to and from places, with most taxis taking an hour to get from A to B despite the actual kilometre distance not matching the time needed. I was sad to leave my new cat friend and specifically asked the lovely staff to please take care of her and her babies. I’m not sure they will feed her.
We have safely arrived in Bangkok, an hour and a half flight from Phuket. With a population of 17 million, a bit more than the 400,000 in Phuket, it was a bit of a shock getting onto a busy motorway heading into the city. Our ride was another driver who loved changing lanes as much as possible, revving the engine, and overusing his brakes. No wonder his check engine light was on. Checking in to our new hotel was a bit of a bummer. How could you match what we just had!?
It was a very chill afternoon as we’re all feeling pretty tired. Jonny and Grace will catch up with us later in the week, so it’s just the 5 of us for now. We wandered around our neighbourhood and had dinner at an “authentic Thai” restaurant. Can they be non-authentic if they’re in Thailand? Today was the first booze free day I’ve had in 2 weeks!
Very overdue.
An early night before a big day trip tomorrow to visit some waterfalls and explore the history of Kanchanaburi district.
