I'm back!

Right, you've had your break and I'm back with a keyboard at my fingers... can't say I've missed it much.

Volunteering at the Elephant Nature Park was by far the best thing I've done while I've been away. I shall go into my usual level of detail at some point, but not now. Things to do today. One thing being to sign up for my next volunteering stint with elephants... there's a brand new park being set up in Surin (south east Thailand), by the same people and it's right at the beginning of it's existence. So it'll be homestay accommodation, basic food and an awful lot of hard work. Buildings need building, trees need planting, acres of grass needs planting for the elephants to graze on and so far, a grand total of 5 people, myself included, have signed up to do it. It starts on the 29th and finishes on the 5th in Bangkok - perfect my flight outta here on the 7th.

I also need to find the bus stop for the bus to Chiang Kong, which I'll be catching at about 6am tomorrow. There's a possibility of heading out there with fellow volunteer Peter, which would be ideal... it's always nice to have someone to talk to.

Lots and lots and lots of photos, videos and stories will be coming this way soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
