Woman on Chaweng beach making papaya salad.

Which, despite shitting through the eye of a needle and agonising cramps in my abdomen for the last 12 hours, I could not resist. It was divine.

And then I ate some mango.
It was the most yummy, juicy mango ever eaten.
Very sweet and naturally ripened and as soft
as a just set blancmange.
God. I will never be able to eat those shitty
orange potatoes that pass for mangoes at home again.

It makes me absurdly happy to taste such
incredible flavours.

Hoping the Buscopan kicks in soon.
