Singburi view from our truck!Hiya Guys
Slept great first night, must have been the couple of shandies!!! Cold shower this morning, going to take bit of getting used to but got 3wks so sure by the end of it I'll be fine brrrrrrrrr!!! Weather great not too hot but hot enough, nice breeze too. Today we headed back into town for our orientation visit. June gave us a map not to scale but had the main shops and internet, post office, banks etc. Again we the only westerners I saw so thai people were looking but again if we just smiled they smiled back so felt good. Big department store which sells everything, smaller version of our Binns!! Prices are amazing here honest everything is so so cheap, I got a gillette lady razor and 3 blades for 350 baht (five quid!) Beach towel for same price!!! Bargins bargins galore. We stocked up on some snacks cos Im sure I aint gonna cope well with all the rice for sure!!! Back to camp and had some free chill time so read our Thai culture (Do and Dont's) Need to remember to use right hand only and not left when passing things, the monks are the hierarchy here along with the King then everyone else. Great to have the info just need to remember now! Getting old memory not that good ha ha!!!
After dinner we had Thai Movie with English subtitles, this was really good but confusing cos everyone looked the same!!! They were chopping heads off left right and centre, the kings fighting the other kings, there was a princess who gave her life for her people and a high consort who was a bitch totally!! Anway apparently it was a true story and big part of the thai history so at least we know bit more now.
Speak soon. xxxx
