Money problems

Well I have been on the island a week and I’m already having money problems, but the good kind! I just can’t spend the stuff!

Let’s take a look at my spending for today;

Breakfast – Bought a pack of Marlboro and a cup of coffee.

Lunch – 3 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice and a plate of crispy noodles with chicken and basil.

Driving back from Haad Rin I stopped at a bar and had a couple more glasses of juice cos’ it was bloody hard work driving over that damn mountain. One hill was so steep going up that I had to drop down to first gear on my scooter and lean over the front wheel to keep it on the ground. Why didn’t I listen when I was told that driving that road in anything less than a 4×4 was a silly idea?

Dinner was 2 glasses of watermelon juice, spicy fried squid and a big plate of fried rice with pineapple.

On the way home I popped into the supermarket and bought 4 large bottles of Chang beer.

I left the house this morning with 1000 Baht in my wallet, I just counted now and I have 520 Baht left. So I have spent a total of £7.50 today! Madness! Above is a picture taken from my chair in the restaurant I had dinner in just so you know I ain’t eating in dodgy back street places to keep the cost down.
