Is it an animal? - NO - Is it a _ _ _ ?(i don't know) NO - It's a fruit. It's a rambutan if that means anything to you I can't actually remember the Thai name only the English which is a bit stupid b/c who back home has actually ever heard of a rambutan?! So yeah it's the fruit that's in season at the mo. It's kind of grape like inside it has a stone which you don't eat, and you don't eat the skin either!! I quite like them in a weird kind of way.

P.S. - I have very sad news :( I was very stupid today. I was riding along on my motorcycle taking pictures, and I didn't put my camera back in to my bag properly and it fell out. Very very stupid I have been repeating this ever since. Looked for it for I'm sure an hour and a half with a band of helpers, but we couldn't find it. On the plus side I managed to explain to these people in Thai what had happened. I have given them my phone number just in case but not too hopeful. Even if I were to find it I doubt that it would still work - stupid, stupid, stupid! So sorry about that.
