All 4 of us got Thai food for breakfast then we said goodbye to Ollie at the bus station because he was going to Laos. Rob, George and I departed to a coffee shop where I had a black Americano and the others had English Breakfast Tea, once these beverages had been consumed Rob and I went halves on a cup of Civet coffee (£11 a cup), a bag of civet coffee costs 50p per gram!! It was unbelievably smooth, with no bitter aftertaste. A book shop was recommended in the Lonely Planet guidebook but it was very hard to find. A ladyboy came up to us and tried to help, whilst she was talking Rob and George ran away, they were actually afraid of her. We did end up finding the shop, no thanks to the ladyboy though, it was totally worth the search, there were rooms full of books, floor to ceiling shelves covered in books, I could've stayed there for so much longer, as it was I bought 2 books, not that I needed them or have space for them. We decided to get a massage, the first place we went to was 300 baht ($10) which is quite expensive and it wasn't until we went upstairs that we realised why, it was definitely a brothel, we made some poor excuse about wanting food and practically ran out the door. The second place was just down the road, it too was almost certainly a brothel but we made sure we were all in the same room together and we weren't offered a happy ending either. I had a young, Thai girl as my masseuse, who weighed no more than 7 stone but that didn't stop her causing me so much pain, especially when she walked up and down my back, even worse was I was paying for my suffering! In the evening we went back to the night market for food and drinks, it was a nice 'Last Supper' with the lads.
