The end is in sight! We'll finally stop the Samui-Bangkok-Samui weekly commute at the end of August.
With an overflowing appointment book and increasing waiting list, the time is now.
Despite the security of the work, I will be sad to leave permanently. Living on an island, albeit one with most everything you could need, is still a long way removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. The island is much more insular. I'll get used to it in time, I guess, but I will miss people in Bangkok...and then there's living in the pockets of an extended family. I love my privacy, and that's a little in short supply.
Of course, despite my general grumpiness, there are a whole lot of positives. Fresh air, an incredible beach a couple of miles away and a garden and workshop I can tinker around in all weekend. There's so much I should be thankful for, and my reservations aren't built around ingratitude, just a deep-seated hatred of major change.
I think too much. Especially on a Sunday evening trying to catch some sleep on this bus as it splashes through the rain. Rainy Days and Sundays always get me down ;-)
Talking of rain, we have floods in Bangkok buy we still have shortages in Samui with the mains being turned off for 3 days a week in our area. Thank goodness we have a 2000 litre tank, me without my three showers a day is not good for anyone within 50 metres!
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and I wish you every happiness for the week ahead. I'm just looking forward to seeing the sunrise on the water as the final leg takes us over on the 5am boat.
