After concluding the trek I changed hostel to a nicer one, with a big garden where the houses were laid out in a circle with a common area in the middle with hammocks and chairs. 
It was run by a really nice guy who previously worked in the IT business in Bangkok, selling computers and perhipials if I understood him correctly.
On sunday night when we came back, we went to check out the market.
They had cut off one of the main streets for traffic and set up stalls with all sorts of things you don’t need. I don’t care much for the things you can buy at these places, but there’s plenty of street food around, and endless possibilities to sample it. Conor, Jeltien and me did our best to pick out the highlights.
On Monday I took the opportunity to chill out a little in the hammocks in the hostel, and eventually Jeltien and me rented a scooter to go around the town and see some of the less travelled roads. I was pretty beat after a cold night in the dorm where I woke up several times freezing under a single blanket. So when driving around, I found myself on the right side of the road a couple of times, which is not the right side in Thailand, that’s the left :-)
We found some nice pad thai place where we had a double portion lunch, and then a quite cool café filled of antique things just by the river.
In the evening we went to a close by thai restaurant, made out for “farangs”. Meanwhile eating we laid out the plot for the next coming blockbuster “the Hug Academy”. 
Apparently the season was right for bananas, so we had to try the special dessert.
