My final day in Thailand is coming to an end. My bags are packed, albeit bursting open from the volume of snacks and sweets I am bringing home. I have said many goodbyes. I have eaten my last big meal. Before I go, here are a few things I am going to miss when I am back in England:
- Freshly-made warm soya milk in the morning.
- Motorcycle journeys during rush hour.
- The variety of smells from the food stalls lining every street.
- Green buses (but not air-con buses!).
- Iced green tea from Seven Eleven.
- Jack fruit, mango and rose apples.
- Taking a shower four times per day.
- Seeing a som tam seller on every corner and checking my stomach to see if there is room for more.
- Saying, "sap bor".
- Laying in bed and listening to the sound of geckos outside the window.
That is just a small selection. I could stay up all night recalling all of the interesting and exciting things that have occured in the last three weeks, but I think that this is enough to capture the simplicity of things that I find so appealing. Thank you and goodbye to all my friends and family in Thailand.
I'll be glad to welcome you again whenever you want to come back:)
