Slowly tavelling the world full-time in my late 60s. (I'm UK / Irish). Currently in Hat Yai, Thailand. Lefty, wokey and sometimes wonky. Blog at www.newlifesteev.com No Dm's please.
Good Morning Bluesky beauties and welcome to Wednesday. I'm escaping today from Hat Yai. Leaving behind what must be a difficult flood aftermath to the locals. Traveller's privilege? I will update you from Malaysia. Enjoy your day and keep safe from fascism.

Good Morning Blueskylarks and welcome to Tuesday. I'm going to be packing as I am planning to leave tomorrow. A private car and driver door to door, expensive but around the same cost as a flight and the alternative would be a minibus to the border, then a train, ferry and taxi. Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Bluesky beauties and welcome to Monday. My great news is that I have water! First running water in over a week. Planning to get out on Wednesday and get to see a doctor. Life is looking up. Have a great day all and enjoy life.

Good Morning Bluesky people and welcome to Sunday. A difficult night for me, but I got through it. Still here to see a new daybreak. I actually feel a bit hungry for the first time in days, so hope that's a good sign. Enjoy your day whatever you're doing and keep safe.

Good Morning Blueskylets and welcome to #Caturday. Things getting better. Rain has stopped but there is a MASSIVE clean up needed of all the debris and still no sign of running water which people need to clean up their homes. It's not over yet. Worried about a huge public health issue.

Good Morning Bluesky Bountifuls and welcome to Friday. Hoping the antibiotics kick in today, though they are supposed to be taken with food and I am still not eating. So pleased that the rain has stopped. Maybe things can get back to normal now. Have a great day whatever you're doing.

Hello Bluesky friends and welcome to Thursday. The good news is that the worst of the weather is over and there are only odd showers now. I'm no better though. I have spoken to an online doctor who has prescribed antibiotics so we'll see how that goes. May need to go to hospital if possible.

Hi Bluesky peeps and welcome to Wednesday. I'm still not well and feeling pretty miserable. That being said, there are people in the town who have lost everything. Apparently this is the worst flooding in 300 years. But the rain is lessening (though there was a bad storm overnight.) 1/2

Good Morning Bluesky peeps and welcome to Monday. Thought I'd better update you on my situation. I haven't eaten for a couple of days, have lost over a stone, (14lbs) in weight. Every cloud ... Talking of clouds the rain is still coming down. The town is cut off and there are food shortages.

Good Morning Bluesky friends and welcome to Sunday. I'm in a disaster zone. Hat Yai has been under water for two days now and rain is predicted for the rest of the week. The power has been out for hours at a time and ironically there is no tap water, can't shower. Hope your day goes better!

I've learnt a new word ...

Hello Bluesky comrades and welcome to Friday. Already mid afternoon here and after breakfast in a cat themed cafe, I almost got stranded in floodwater. Rescued by a grab driver, but what will it be like now? I hope your day goes well and keep safe from flooding.

Good Morning Bluesky peeps though not great here in Ao Nang as the rain is falling. Bad news for a five hour bus journey but hopefully there's no flooding. Have a great day yourselves and remember to embrace cats not fascism.

After coffee and two slices of dried toast with fellow travellers in Ao Nang, I decided to try and walk near the coast away from the crowds. The heavens opened and I quickly found shelter in a boatman's hut with him and his two cats. Pretty good choice for a cat lover.

Good Morning Bluesky bloomers and welcome to Wednesday. Still not right and it's a travel day tomorrow ... five hours by bus. Will I make it?? Today meeting fellow travellers for coffee then packing. Have a great day and remember to embrace cats not fascism. Pic from previous travels.

Good Morning Blueskylets and welcome to Monday. My third attempt at posting this and I'm becoming a bit disillusioned with the platform tbh. Will carry on posting for now but not sure for how much longer. Enjoy your day whatever happens and remember to embrace cats not fascism.

Good Morning Bluesky Friends and welcome to Sunday. Struggling with my IBS today, so probably not going out. Hopefully your day will be better and safe from fascism. Seems I can't post a pic for some reason.

#busstoppics Ao Nang today.

Good Morning Bluesky people and welcome to #Caturday. My second attempt at this post as my first didn't take. Already been out for a foot massage and hoping to get breakfast before the heavens open. Enjoy your day whatever you're doing ...

Good Morning Blueskylets and welcome to Fantastic Friday. Will be sharing my space with some new people later today and hoping they are quiet and respectful, but who knows? Enjoy your day and keep yourselves safe from fascism. Pic from previous travels.

For the few of you who might want to go deeper into my travels, here is a link to my latest blog post ... a bus journey in eastern Turkey back in April this year. newlifesteev.com/up-down-and-...
Up, down and rather uneasy: Crossing the Mountains to Hopa.
For someone who travels full-time, I still get anxious whenever I’m actually on the move and today was no exception.

Gooooooood Morning Bluesky Bountifuls and welcome to Thursday. Seems bright enough now, but I was caught in torrential rain last night so I know how quickly things can change and the forecast ain't good. Hope you all have a great day and avoid fascism. As usual pic from PREVIOUS travels.
