Myanmar Koh Phangan Koh Phangan Parties Ayutthaya Bangkok Vilage Life

Ouch!

One of the worries of living in Thailand for me, especially somewhere with so little infrastructure as Koh Phangan is what would happen if I was ill? It’s not like being in the UK where all you have to do is trundle off to the nearest hospital and have a chat with somebody who speaks the same language as you. Here it’s all very different.

So I was a little more worried than usual 4 nights ago when I finally crashed my motorcycle. I guess it’s been overdue for a few months now and a lesson I knew I would inevitably learn at some stage.

I hit some sand on a tight bend, going pretty slowly, the bike slid, not a problem in itself, but then it slid onto the grass verge and flipped over, this catapulted me off the bike, but unluckily there was a long drop down a steep slope to the beach that I flew down.

So I crawled up the verge and lay there groaning, something was definitely wrong with my back. I called Nuth and she came and picked me up, not a single scratch on the bike but I can’t even stand up.

So I have just spent 4 days laying in bed trying to decide if I am going to throw myself on the mercy of the local hospital. I have sprained my back before and recognise the pain, nothing much can be done except painkillers and rest. We shall see tomorrow, if it’s no better I might have to go and see a doctor.
