By 11.30 I was ready to check out. I did get a call from reception asking if I wanted to stay another night. Much as I had began to warm it the initial frosty receptionists (they had began to thaw out - smiling and speaking to me as I saw them) I really had to move on. If for nothing else but my sanity.
I was down at reception my 11.55. Check out was midday and obviously most of those checking out had the same idea as me. Leave it till the last minute. I handed in my key, they checked my room. And I was handed back my 1000bht deposit. Bugger me if it wasn't sunny outside. Could have used the pool.
The walk to my new place of abode was a little more strenuous than yesterday, due to the fact I now had all by belongings on my back and the 35 degrees.
On arrival I paid my money. Most of these budget hotels seem to want payment in advance and a deposit. The deposit was 500bht in this case. I didn't have my passport at this point. It is still with the Indian embassy. That wasn't a problem as they accepted a copy. By this time I was sweating like a bacon pig. The receptionist was charming. Asked a young man to carry my bags to the first floor. That was good ! She also gave me a bottle of water, nice and cold. I was shown to the room. It was quite nice. Clean and actually a little larger than the one I had just left. I had 20bht ready to give the chappie but decided against it when he recovered one of the bottles of water from the room on account of the fact that I had already been given one. I'm getting a tight ass!
Jumping on the bed (which was very comfortable) I explored the TV channels. Nothing Western other than CNN. I know I'll regret it tonight but I had a snooze....
I was going to chill out today. This lack of sleep unsurprisingly is leaving me feeling more than a little lethargic. I'll use the time to do a bit more learning on the subject of English grammar. Riveting stuff!
