I got up at 8 o'clock. I got ready to go and my friends came and picked me up at 10 o'clock and then we left Samutprakarn. We went to the port and went to the other side of the river (Phra Pa Daeng) by car ferry. Then we went straight to Chumphon first. It took about 7 hours. We stopped to rest half way to eat lunch.

We arrived at our guest house at about 6.30 p.m. It took about 1 hour to find the guest house. That guest house we slept cost 200 baht per night. We slept four people in 1 room. In the guest house there were not many people. First when we went inside, we were very scared because it looked like a ghost house. We had to share bathroom and it was very small. After we went inside we went out to eat. We walked around to find something to eat but we couldn't find it so we went back to eat at the guest house. I ate fried rice with fried egg on top. Then we went to take a bath. I was the first to take it. When I went into the bathroom I was really scared because it was my first time to live in a guest house and there were not many people there. When I finished, I came back to my room to read a book. I waited for my friends because I wanted to play cards. We played "Circus". We played it until late, then we went to sleep.

When I woke up, one of my friends said "Last night you fell on the floor, did you know? So I called you to come back on the bed." I didn't know how I could fall down on to the floor. It was strange. Then I went to take a bath and we left this guest house.

This is the car ferry. We went on it to go to other side of the Chao Phraya river (Phra Pa Daeng). It cost fifteen baht.

This is guest house where we stayed at Chumphon. We are playing cards on the bed in the room. The game we played is called "Circus".

We left from the Guest House after we had breakfast and then we went to visit "Prince Chumphon Shrine" before we left Chumphon. When we arrived there, we went inside and paid respect to Prince Chumphon because we believe that he will look after us when we travel.

After that we went to Ranong. It took a long time because the road was windy. So we arrived there late. We went there to visit the hot springs, hot enough to boil an egg. There were a lot of different springs and hot stone seats for making you healthy. We went to sit there, it was very hot. And near the hot spring there was a temple. Inside there were a lot of bathrooms. You can take a bath with hot spring water there. We didn't do it because the weather was very hot. We ate lunch near the temple. I ate chicken fried in chilli paste with fried egg on top. When we finished eating, we went straight to Phuket. I slept in the car for one-two hours.

When we arrived in Phuket, we took a long time again to find a hotel. We stayed in the "Thravorn Hotel". It was ok, not bad. It cost 350 baht per night because it had air-conditioning and bathroom unlike the guest house we stayed before. We stayed there for six nights all together. And that night we went to bed late because we played cards again.
