I woke up about 8.30am and packed my case and checked out of the room and had breakfast. Claire and Archie came down about 10.00am and Archie said he had a cold but was feeling okay.
Lorenzo and Patricia came back to Awana as the hated their new hotel so we sat with them and had drinks.
I left at 11.00 to walk down the side streets to find a place to stay for a month. I found a place called Boonthavon which were charging 8,500 bhat per month and I was shown around. It looked clean and comfortable but a little bit dated but I agreed to take it and left a deposit. The only problem was it wouldn't be available until tomorrow afternoon so I had to find another place for one night. I did! It was called Nice Apartment but in fact it wasn't so nice. The room didn't have natural light from a window so it felt a bit like a cell but I thought it was only for one night so I checked in with them. I went back to Awana and carried on sitting around having drinks until Claire and Archie's Tuk Tuk was ready to take them to the airport at 2.00pm.
It was a very sad moment as I said goodbye as I knew I was going to miss their company. We all waved them off as the Tuk Tuk pulled away :(
I then said goodbye to Lorenzo and Patricia and agreed to meet them for dinner at Cooking Love at 6.30pm.
I walked a great distance (100 yards if that!) to my new apartment and went to my room. It had all the things I needed like air con and hot water but it felt rather dismal. But hey, who can complain for 390 bhat a night!!!
At 6.30 I went to the restaurant to meet Lorenzo and Patricia and their little girl Louana for a really nice Thai dinner. Afterwards we took a stroll down to the Sunday night Walking Street Market where we spent a couple of hours having a browse along the stalls.
At 9.30pm I said my goodbyes as they were leaving the next day to carry on with their travels and I took to my prison bed at Nice Apartment for the night! It was a sad day to lose all my travelling companions but I was looking forward to my last month in Thailand and all the new adventures!!
