I woke up when someone moved into our room in the morning, but I didn't feel like getting up and when I did it was after 10am. There didn't seem to be any breakfast so I must have missed it. Got my stuff together and headed out to get the rabies innoculation but as it was 11 and the clinic shuts at 12 for lunch, I decided not to rush there and walked instead, going past some places to see, none if which were very interesting. There was a park which looked nice on the map but most of it was closed off and when I got in another part and there were lots of people wearing gowns for some kind of graduation or something as there were also lots of people taking photos.
I carried on and was close to the clinic at 12.50 and I still hadn't eaten as the one place I'd looked at the menu had had tourist prices. So I went to a coffee shop and got a strawberry smoothie thinking it might be like back home but it was just strawberries and ice and was not so nice. Got to the clinic and registration was easier as I'd been before, had to check blood pressure (121 over 69) and weight (73kgs), so I'd lost 7kgs in less than a month. The clinic still took a while but I got the last rabies shot for 523 baht (about £13). Decided to head back on the bus and caught the no 12 I'd been told to take. So I got back to near the hostel and it was getting close to 3pm so I renewed my room booking for another night as I was pretty sure I wouldn't get everything done today, then I looked for somewhere to eat and I found a place to buy a sim card which was more expensive than Myanmar but supposedly has 7 days unlimited internet and 1.5 gb afterwards which should do me just fine. I found somewhere to eat which was in a hotel where they also had internet computers so I was looking to go back there later, but I still needed to get my suitcase fixed first and while eatring I googled a few things like how to fix suitcase wheels. I found a place called mr bag fix in Bangkok which sounded perfect but the shop was not so nearby. So I went back to the hostel and unpacked my suitcase onto the bed and headed out and by now it was 4pm and it started raining so I went back to get my umbrella and then made it to the bus stop where the bus google told me to take took ages to come and then I got told it didn't go where I wanted but I found out it went close and I didn't want to have to wait for another bus. Traffic was really bad and the bus hardly moved so that by the time I got to the train station it was 5.15 and the shop was supposed to be shut. I thought they might be open until 6pm so I Skype called them and got a recorded we are shut message. Traffic was still bad so I walked back stopping on the way to buy some things including a box of Langsart fruit which I quite like. Got back to the hostel and left my suitcase and bag and went out to use the internet but the hotel place said their internet did not work but pointed out a place across the road so I went there whihc was ok until they shut and kicked me out. I grabbed some food and drinks and sat in the hostel reading, listening to some boring ACCA Video for my CPD and drinking vodka orange. No party tonight and mainly Spanish people sitting around. Lizzie had been ill most of the day and hardly left the room which isn't very good as it's probably hotter in the room than it is outside. I went to sleep around midnight.
