Just found out that the owner of the hostel is putting on a leaving party for us at the pool tomorrow; he’s going to cook our fave Thai dishes (Massaman and Panang), giving us a free cooking lesson beforehand! As we know all the staff from the pool and guesthouse as friends now it will be such a lovely afternoon and I think there may be a few tears when we have to say ‘see you later’. But Facebook will keep us all connected and I know that I’ll definitely be back here some time in the future, to drink Sangsom with Soy and eat chicken from a chicken motorbike at 4am!

Will definitely be taking my camera tomorrow to collect some lasting memories of all of our new friends! Right now it’s twenty to one and we are heading to bed, sweet dreams everyone!
