Plogging

1/12

Early morning to drop off Lawa at school already at 7:45 as it's plogging day!

People gather on the beach to pick up litter together and keep Koh Lanta clean. Everyone was there: ambassadors, all the schools, and a bunch of high-ranking officials from the Thai government.

Speaking of chickens, a hen had taken possession of the police car when we arrived. However, I didn't get to do anything about it before they flew away.

The kids were busy picking up trash, and I helped by getting them to drink more since they had dirty hands and didn't want to touch the bottles. Waterboy, that's me!

The national anthem was sung, and billions of photos were taken. Lawa ended up right at the front in the official photos.

We also met another girl named Lawa, but unfortunately, she couldn't be in the picture because of her parents.

Mulle and I then went home for a bit more exercise.

It's Mulle's workday, so he is busy both day and evening getting everything organized.

In the afternoon, we hopped on the transfer bus to go to Malee for paddle training. Mom trained social skills instead with the parents over a Chang.

After training, it was pool time with the girls at Malee and then a transfer home.

We strolled off to buy food at Five Stars, which is a fast food kiosk specializing in duck. Quite okay, but if I'm being honest, my duck beats it by a long shot. 😜

I promised Lawa a massage, so we strolled down to the beach, but it was full, and we couldn't get an appointment until an hour later. We took the opportunity to hang out on the beach. I grabbed a Chang, and Lawa was hanging out as usual with the fruit seller. I think they entertain each other just as much, even though they can't communicate.

Finally, it was time for her Coconut massage, and I opted for a Thai massage. After being pampered from head to toe, it was quick steps to get to bed.
