and myself and for the passenger you have to go get at the terminal what yeah such a weird system
for the bike and one passenger is 230 baht no for the bike and the driver is 230 baht

the weather's held up hopefully it will continue like that until we get to lunch long swan right
the hair is crazy it was so hot at one point and we got caught in this in a storm
yeah my shoe is all wet now it's getting hot the sun is out which is actually nicer because even
though we're on the bike and it's hot there's still a nice breeze the best way to experience
thailand is just by driving and experiencing going through different towns different regions and how
things change restaurant changes what they sell change especially where we
are now we're pretty close to chumphon and it is known for the best salted eggs in thailand

five mangoes 20 bucks crazy wow the price is so crazy
cheap this year because of covid's isn't it babe yeah it's a lot of mangoes they can't export them
yeah so then there's a lot more mangoes in country in the country this year so they're really cheap
to try this coconut shake you've been here like a couple times in the hometown like four times
a year over the course of eight years so many times i don't know but the coconut shakes are
like the best shakes in thailand here i really recommend them the lily might be familiar to a
lot of you because you were actually in our provides like the handing out video before

indeed
oh
oh my gosh go
day's dirty
so lily and pub are going back to the hotel to eat what they got we're gonna grab a couple more
snacks and then we'll head back to the hotel as well what else do you want to eat chicken
okay we'll get some chicken for now we got that fried um fried omelette with mussels but just in
case just to be safe i think i should get chicken yeah we usually don't get seafood at the market
because we're a bit scared but it looked really good and lily said it's a really popular store so
a really popular stall so the turnover is really quick for their food i think it'll be okay but oh
is this the one i like no oh this market is pretty amazing it has a lot of food that you won't see
at most of the normal markets that are i guess in the city like if we had something like this
in gotsamoy or even when we were in chiang mai we would definitely go every week because there's so
much different food to try for the next couple days we'll be spending more time with lily and
piwat in champa and we'll take you guys with us to see what is there to explore in this area
bloopers what's going on

the bowl and the spoon for me waiting for me like he was prepared to make one for me
