Day 1 - 16/02/09
After an 8 hour journey in minivans we made it to Nahon Si Thammarat, realisation hit, we had made it into Thailand!!! We checked into the hotel and headed to the supermarket - Carrefour to stock up on essentials. We then took a songthaew (a pick up or a larger truck with 2 bench seats fixed at either sides at the back, it is the local mode of transport in Thailand) to the Puppet Master's place where we got to see his collection of puppets and learn about the history and art of Shadow Puppetry. The puppet master put on a show for us and we had a go at trying to make the puppets quite unsuccessfully!!
We then went to dinner and then had a karaoke night back at the hotel as a Karaoke suite had been booked out for us that eve.
