The last few posts have been haphazard, apologies for that. I thought I could just land in Thailand and start blogging straight away. It took me a few days to get settled in and acclimatised, which I am still trying to do. The temperature is around 32 degree c and making me constantly tired. Also, it does not help that I am not drinking enough water!
Saturday night I met a couple of friends and we went out, they were drinking whiskey whilst I was on the water. It was a strange ‘private members club’ We walked in through the staff entrance, let’s just say it was a very surreal experience. Just to add, in our section the only entertainment was a band playing in front of a football match!
(Not what you expected?)
On Sunday I relaxed at the local pool, the water was freezing…..which in the heat you would think I would welcome but I needed warm water. It took me a while to get used to the temperature.
Sunday swim
Sunday evening was tough for me and I was ready to go back to England, my uncle had sent me some pictures of when my mum was young. As some readers will know, mum passed away a few months ago. Mum is always on my mind and at the moment it is like a roller coaster ride, some days I remember mum with a smile, some days I break down and cry. This made me realise that this journey to good health will not just be physical but also mental.
Monday was a whole new day, through good support of friends, I decided to stay and achieve my goal of losing 25kg.
In the afternoon I trained, forgetting how intense the heat is, luckily between rounds, there is a huge container full of ice water.
My first coffee in Thailand
Tuesday was spent at Salaya shopping mall, where I picked up a few essentials and had a coffee. My first one since arriving in Thailand.
Salaya Central Plaza
Today, Wednesday I felt more settled, hence the long post!
Drinking around 2 litres of water a day, perhaps I should be drinking more and the good news is that so far I have lost 5kg in body weight, probably water but I will take this as a win!
Wooow it looks so good 🙂
Thank you, it is good!

I can definitely relate to the wanting warm water even in the heat bit! I definitely go through that phase all the time.
I was surprised the water was cold, in this heat!
Congrats on the weight loss! I think a big problem is also the humidity, it is what makes you not want to drink water so much, but it is important to stay hydrated, especially when sweating! Good luck on your weight loss journey! Thailand looks nice!
Thank you for the information and support!

Thank you and you are right it is worth it!
I’m glad your finally settling in after such a rough time! I’m surprised the water was so cold in the warm weather!
It took some time, but I have managed to stay settled and focused.
I feel the same about my gram as you do your mum. Still miss her and it’s been awhile.
Reality is so hard when loved ones are not here.
Wow! It looks amazing place to visit! And I will definitely save this on my bucket lists! Thanks!
You should visit, it is a fantastic place!
One day, you will remember your mom with a smile and no more tears. Now is a healing time for you.
I wish you a safe journey and healing in your heart.
All the best!
That means so much, thank you!
Losing a parent is one of the hardest things in life we have to endure. The first year is the worst, but it does get easier with time so be kind to yourself and know that making your health a priority is a good thing.
Thank you for the information
Wonderful post. I have travel bucketlist dreams to go to Thailand.
Thank you! Thailand is a fantastic country and worth visiting.
