The end of my first week ended a hell of a lot better than it started! I got moved to new accommodation on the Friday evening which was amazing; it even has hot water and doesn't have any 8 legged friends living there, raise the roof!! Also, I'm living next to another ETA (Steven) which is great.
We spent the weekend relaxing in the area of Na Kae in Nakhon Phanom and visiting lots of temples as it was a long four day holiday (ta Buddha). We went to That Phanom which was lovely and we saw the Buddhist routine of praying and showing respect; they light incense and lay lotus flowers. After that we went to the Mekong river which marks the Thailand/Laos border, followed by a trip to watch a candle parade. I got to see a baby elephant too!
