I'm up, I'm up!

The average Thai wakes up around 5am, and that does not include those who work at the market. For me waking up before 7am is wrong, just wrong.

This morning at 6.15am I woke up to strange noises coming from my night stand. Being me I immediately thought the world's biggest cockroach was going for the chocolates. As I tried to focus and adjust my eyes the noise gained momentum. It was my next door neighbors having sex. Sigh.

I tried to go back to sleep, naturally. A few minutes later the tap in the bathroom open all by itself and water was running. I have no explanation for that. I closed the tap and even before I reached the bed a sound like a foghorn blasted through the window.

I sighed and put on some clothes and went outside. Clearly, the world wanted me to be up and running.

(Today I take, once again, the wonderful 7 hour bus to Sangklaburi. Yay for motion sickness!)
