It's hard to get lost in small Kong Chiam.

Still, we manage.

Friendly policemen playing cards take a break to help.

A giant horse statue marks our guesthouse.

The best and cheapest transportation, the owner advises, is the motorbike.

Only problem, neither of us can drive it.

Neither he, nor the rental lady at the steakhouse, is concerned.

Young Thai girls can drive them with siblings piled on the back.

Mai bpen rai for the adult foreigner.

Ethan tours the block solo, getting used to turns.

Helmet secured.

Slow steering is the trickiest.

Speed is kinder.

I join,

Balancing act.

*Mai bpen rai is Thai for 'Dont worry about it' or 'no worries'

Thank you for reading. Bear with me these next few weeks, I'm transitioning from travel mode and spending most of my wifi time job hunting as it's hiring season in my field, even if I'm still abroad. Should be home soon and back to posting twice a week and reading a lot more.
