Sawadeekha!

We have landed!!

You'll all be pleased to hear that despite the fact that I am a live animal, possibly carrying mad cow disease (okay, definitely carrying mad cow disease), customs and immigration were a complete doddle and we've been allowed into Thailand for 30 days.

Me checking in

Deciding whether or not to brave it

Moo really didn't expect to be greeted by her old employers when she came out of arrivals

After satisfying my chocolate cravings, I decided to delve into my new book; Wild - Cheryl Strayed while waiting at the gate. BAM, the first page was on the money.

"My solo three month hike on the Pacific Crest Trail had many beginnings. There was the first, flip decision to do it, followed by the second, more serious decision to actually do it, and then the long third beginning, composed of weeks of shopping and packing and preparing to do it. There was the quitting of my job... and saying goodbye to my friends.

At long last, there was the actual doing it, quickly followed by the grim realization of what it meant to do it, followed by the decision to quit doing it because doing it was absurd and pointless and ridiculously difficult and far more than I expected doing it would be and I was profoundly unprepared to do it.

And then there was the real live truly doing it."

And here we are!

Let's hope its true what they say about greener pastures laying ahead! Haven't seen a great deal of grass yet...

Can't fight a love like ours

Mooving on into the evening now, where I found myself at a party in a local village to celebrate "Children's Day". Of course, being a British cow, they were a little intrigued by me. I expect you've seen the video of Moo dancing with them? How. Embarrassing. I knew I shouldn't have brought her with me. A couple of beers is all it takes and she's up on the dancefloor in her MC Hammer pants, moving around awkwardly as if she's got chewing gum stuck to her shoes. I might have to accidentally lose her along my way if this carries on.

Thai party food makes me happy

The following day we were met with a lovely breakfast before we skipped (yup - cows can skip - who knew?) off to the local shopping mall. 

Ahhhhh - Air Conditioning. <3

As many of you know, shopping can be quite a tiring sport, so we decided to take refuge in the nearest cafe. And when I say refuge, what I mean is 4 donuts and 2 iced coffees.

A light bite

Then it was back home for more food, then off to see Chitty's extended family, where there was food again, and then back home, which was a long journey so we stopped off on the way for some food.

What? I have 4 stomachs, remember?

Anyway, I must go and eat.

All in all, its been great so far. I understand why they call Thailand the Land of Smile, because everyone has been lovely.

Busy day of exploring Bangkok ahead of me tomorrow. Will keep you updated. If you don't already have me on snapchat, my username is mellymoocow2 - I have exceptional internet here so I am posting things fairly regularly!

From one nutty Moo to another X

P.S. What do you think, new owner potential?
