I'm sorry I haven't updated for a long time! This is partly because my phone got stolen but mainly because I've been having too much of a good time :)
Every now and then I have been treating myself to a private room rather than staying in shared dorms and I was super lucky the other day when I stayed chatting in the common area even though I knew I had a leak. When I got back to my room to change I had almost blown through the whole thing! It's so much easier to do a change in a proper bathroom at the sink rather than having to change in shared showers and toilet cubicles.
That reminds me; I didn't bring enough dry wipes with me because I thought I could buy them out here but it doesn't seem like you can. So I bought two packets of baby wipes; one for cleaning up and the second I will let them dry out so I can use them for to dry the skin before applying a new bag.
I went on a half day climbing trip on railay beach, that was really good but I also got a leak that day too. It seems to happen when wearing the sensura one piece so I think I just need to always wear the two piece. That reminds me! I was wearing a two piece that was a few days old, I've started this trick of using [medical] tape to patch up the flange after a few days when it starts to unstick in order to get an extra day or two of wear (they are usually lasting about 2 days without this and 3-4 days with this approach). I was on a boat tour in Ao Nang and dived head-first into the water from the long tail boat. My bag almost ripped completely off! I was wearing the under/swimwear from white rose collection which is pretty tight, so I kinda managed to secure if on just using the waistband of those and my swimshorts, and luckily it wasn't long after that when we stopped for dinner and I changed in the toilet cubicle. I was so glad I had a change with me! I've started keeping individual wrapped changing kits so it's super easy to pop one into a day bag or grab one to change in the shared bathrooms that you get in hostels.

One other thing is that I went to a pool party on Koh Phi Phi, I felt pretty self conscious there in case anyone noticed my under-swimwear. I'm the end no one mentioned it so hopefully it wasn't obvious and I met some nice (drunk?) Canadians to hang with for the rest of the night.
On that note, only two people have noticed the under swimwear
Bob: what's that? A stoma?
Me: Yep
Bob: really?
Me: Yep. Crohn's disease.
Me: Yep

Me: Yep. Crohn's disease.
That's it. Easiest explanation ever.
I'm rambled on for long enough so I'll leave you with one last thought; I'm loving the beday thing (bum gun!) you get in every Thai toilet. No need to use TP just rinse the opening and go.
