Hua Hin cont

---

Hello again,

Well we've been here in Hua Hin for 5 days now and we really like it. The weather is still scortching! we dont expect it to rain the whole time we are here, this is apparently the dry season.

Anyway, since our last update we have been to a Thai Boxing night which was really good. it was more expensive to go if you are white, but we got ring-side seats. you could literally get sprayed with blood and sweat with every punch! some of the wee guys looked as though you could knock them over with a sneeze, but other ones were totally solid! It was a good night! Some week kid got an absolute kicking which callum loved, but i kept feeling sorry for the losers. it was also just amazing to watch the Thai people, they had their own wee bit to stand, they werent allowed to sit with us, and they were all jumping around and cheering and practically jumped in the ring! it was funny!

We went to the beach yesterday and got even more tanned haha! then we went for a stroll around the town. we ate at the markets from the street vendors, cal got squid on a stick! haha! it was gross looking coz it was literally like one big squid, but tasted amazing. then i got crab, and again they just gave me the whole blinkin crab, shell and all! we had a hell of a time trying to get into it! but it tasted nice. there is also an Asian Summit meetin going on here just now (by the way, this is where the king lives, the palace is so close by!) so we've seen loads of plush cars with all the important Asian leaders in them with police escorts, the main road has been blocked off...mister worry (callum) thinks there is going to be a bomb.

Today (it's early afternoon just now) we went to go on an elephant trek and it was AMAZING. i loved it, callum said i looked like i was going to burst with excitement! we went on an hour long trek on wee seats on the elephant, but i was dying to actually sit on its back and kept saying to cal the whole time 'do u think they'd let me' and eventually cal asked the man (after we payed him 300b for an elephant tooth necklace) and he said yeah, so i have some great picks of me riding it! It was pretty dangerous to be honest, had to use all my leg muscles to hold on! but it was well worth it! after it we got to feed them (they have huuuuge tongues!(and callum wishes me to point out other huge male bits - not for my grans eyes! haha)) then they did a wee show. there was one of them playing the 'mouthie' but not quite as well as my gran plays it! the show was my least favourite bit coz i felt a wee bit bad for them.

Anyway, we've been saving our pennies so we are going to a seafood place for dinner tonight...yum! i think we are leaving Hua Hin on mon or tues to go to a wee tiny native fishing town just down the coast. apparently its quite rural and not many backpackers go there, so it might be a wee bit different!

Anyway, i need to go call the resort and book diving for later! cant wait!

Hope you guys are all well! missing you but having so much fun!

Loads of love Nicole and Callum x
