Predictable title I know but it had to be done! Well we have now arrived safely in Thailand and are waiting for our flight to Koh Samui. Last night we splurged a bit and booked into a hotel which had a swimming pool, gym and spa for about ten pounds each for the night including breakfast and transfers. We tested out our mosquito nets out last night as although we probably didn't need them we though it was best to test it when it didn't matter! We ventured out into the local area (our hotel was close to the airport ready to meet out friends today) and attempted to try out our limited thai and had a local meal of fried rice grren curry with beef which was very nice. The heat here is a very different kind of heat, its incredibly stuffy but doesn't feel really hot. Mostly we have stayed in air conditioned places except for venturing to the local restaurant where we all ate for the equivelent of four pounds altogether (dinner for three) last night. Looking forward to flying to the island tonight and staying in our beach bungalow's! Photo's to follow soon if I can upload them!
