So Far so good.

WE strated off with 2 nights in Bangkok, which was was just the busyest place I have ever been to, it was like eyeryone in the city had had 24 cans of red bull and three packs of smarties.

Then we moved down to Pattaya wich wasn't really my cup of tea, it was very sleezy and where it was like beeing an A lister walking down the street having girls screem and you and run out of the bars and try and drag you in. The Beach there was a bit of a let down as well, not very clean and not the white sands as Thailand promised.

We then went down to Hoi Hin and had an early night in the most basic room ever. The bed was so hard it was like sleeping on the concreate floor. The best thing about the room was the cold shower and the cheap seafood restruant on the end of the pier.

We are now in Ko Samui and this is like I expected Thailand to be. We are in a 4 bed, two story lodge a 20 second walk from the beach. which is white sands and clear blue water, which is warmer than the being in the sun. We have had one night here and sat on the beack drinking Thai Whisky or Rum (cant really work it out) but never the less it gives you a hell of a head ache in the morning but 10 mins in the sun, sand and sea and your cured.

Not much for now but still in hoilday mode with Gaz and Ryan being here as well, just becoming used to the whole idea of bartering and the thai way of life. Found the cheap food, which is fantastic and you can eat out with a drink for and 1 quid.

Anyway i'll be more in depth once these its just the two of us.

But Having a great time and looking forward to the world cup.
