Takin' it easy, Thai style!

When it all gets too much around the middle of the day and you need a break, do what the Thais do: park yourself and the bike on a park bench and have a snooze. You'll be so glad you did....

Mr Pumpy's bike is securely locked to a metal pole. Security is pretty good in Thailand, but having a snooze in a public place and leaving the bike unlocked would be tempting fate a little too much.

The unfortunate thing about this photo is the rubbish. Like most of Asia, Thailand is 'full' of discarded plastic bags. It's a worry....
