I was awoken at 6.30 this morning by the noise of Hat Yais traffic, which was a blessing in disguise as it meant I got out by 8am. I soon was on hwy 4 heading towards Sadao, this is one horrible road full of traffic and it was a real relief to turn left onto the 42
An unusual choice of food for me tonight, I eat in a Muslim food restaurant and have a chicken curry, theres one in Chiang Rai and I use that if there. This meal cost the grand sum of 25 Baht, two of them plus an extra portion of chicken and I was full and only 60 Baht lighter in the wallet. Thats my quota of rice for february so probably a pizza at Wunderbar tomorrow
