NB: All information and prices in this post are based on a stay during September 2019. At this time, £1 was equal to 37 Thai baht. Not so fun fact: when we visited Thailand in June, just 3 months earlier, £1 was equal to near enough 40 baht.

My second book review. My thoughts on the 16th book I read this year.

Book 1 of 2019, and what a fab start to my year of reading this was. Of course, it was that stand-out title that first pulled me in. How could it not? It’s unusual, isn’t it? No matter how worldly and open-minded you are, you probably haven’t heard the words…

I’m now 3 days into unemployment, and 3 days away from the start of my adventure to South-East Asia. & I can’t bloody wait. When I met JJ last year, he was just leaving his job, ready to go away to Thailand like he’s always wanted to. Then we met,…
