This feels like Thailand


I saw one of those awkward couples today. You know the ones where one partner is totally and whole hearted into it and the other is keen, but somewhat indifferent. I always feel really uncomfortable whenever I see that situation. Mainly for the person who is somewhat getting made a fool of. They say travelling breaks most couples.

Anyway, didn’t mean to get so deep on it (it was a situation I witnessed today that made me feel uncomfortable). 

We headed down to Siam square to work on my camera situation. What a bustling centre. It was a bit more what I thought Bangkok would feel like to be honest. Malls, street stalls and lots of people (locals!). Good fun. And I brought a camera.

Is it Sarah proof?
However, it turned out the charger for the camera didn’t work. By the time I figured this out it was almost midnight. And we had an 8am bus/ferry to Koh Chang. Essentially no way to get back to the mall and get a new one. Meaning I had no camera. 

“Spike, we slept through the alarm” the dreaded words. We had missed the bus. Turns out the alarm was set correctly. Just Spike’s iphone was still on Turkey time. Epic fail. 

A quick facebook message to Andrew and Tamara (Spike’s friends who he had met in Mexico/travelled to the US with and we are currently travelling with) was in need. On the upside I got to go back to Siam Square and now have a fully functional waterproof, shockproof, dust proof and freeze proof camera. The real question still remains. Is it Sarah proof?

One day in Bangkok when we were doing some shopping (as you do) and we were at ‘the noodle mans’ having lunch there was a rabbit chilling out on the street with a bell on it’s neck. It was just hanging out hopping around. Pretty friendly. Who knows what it was doing on the street. On the animal note, they have pink eggs here. Not all eggs, but some are pink. If anyone knows anything about these and why they are pink, please feel free to enlighten me.

Now I am on Koh Chang Island... this feels like Thailand to me....
