I had my latest animal encounter this morning. Went for a ride on an elephant through the local countryside and fed it some bananas at the end. Actually it hardly stopped eating all through the trek, tugging up bits of undergrowth and shrubs to eat.
Then I had a walk to a national park area just along the coast. It's obviously a popular picnic spot with local families, and was very busy as it's Sunday. Unfortunately, even there, there was a lot of litter.
Yesterday I went to a different beach, famed for its beauty, called Phra Nang, but t
here were too many people for it to rank on my list of favourite beaches.
My bungalow now is pretty simple but tomorrow I'm off to stay for a few nights on an island that only got electricity in 2009, and it'll be even more basic (and even cheaper). I am leaving my big case here with the people at Lakeside Bungalows, to where I will return, and just taking the bare minimum.
It's unlikely I'll be able to update the blog for a few days.

Update - 30th Jan - I've added pictures of the elephant trek (obviously) and Phra Nang beach.
