I’m rudely awoken at around lunchtime, and mercilessly dragged to The Irish Exchange for a full cooked breakfast. I realise something is amis when I can’t finish it - in fact, I don’t even manage a quarter of it. If I’m off my food, something has obviously gone terribly wrong.
Seems like I’ve picked up a bug or something, and after Martin and Tik finish eating we head back to the apartment, where I admit defeat and crash back to bed. I’m awoken again at around 5pm - A has arrived to drop her bags off in preparation for our trip to Koh Chang at stupid-o’clock tomorrow morning, and invites us to join her for dinner.
I force myself up, and we head to a restaurant whose name entirely escapes me, for some terrific Thai food (of which I manage to force down a small portion), and some very nice German lager, served to the table in four-litre glass towers. I begrudgingly accept the offer of ice in my beer, unthinkable at home, purely because of the heat. There’s a live band, who perform a mixture of Thai and Western music, culminating in a cover version of Jimmy Page and Puff Daddy’s “Come With Me”, from the Godzilla soundtrack - complete with a giant model Godzilla descending onto the stage. Now there’s something you don’t see in many restaurants.
Massaya eventually joins us, after working horrifically late, and it’s good to catch up - he’s off to Singapore on business, and I’m not sure whether I’ll see him again before I leave. We finish up, and A’s out nightclubbing, whilst Martin, Tik and I head home for an early night before our early start. We drop Massaya off at a taxi rank on the way, and head back for yet more sleep.
