Hello, So this week was trekking week, moved from the resort last sunday for the drive in to the jungle, near the Burma border. Saw a massive black snake on the dirt track into the jungle, set things up for an interesting week! has been a good week, altho would have liked to have done more, seemed like we had quite a bit of free time.

Last weekend we did a trip away, on the saturday went to Erawan national park to some waterfalls then out in some random town we were staying in, don't even know the name of the place!

Oh and not forgeting the bar next door to us! Tho they [View Full Entry]

Hello everybody, Thought I would do one of these blog malarkies to keep everyone updated on what I am doing. Firstly, Mum, I am alive, healthy and have zero medical issues to report, malaria has thus far been kept at bay. Although the old mossies are trying their best! Arrived in Bangkok mid afternoon last friday with Megan then meet up with the rest of the group (theres 12 of us in total) and went for a meal and a few drinks on Khao San road. Bangkok is pretty crazy but we had a good hotel near all the backpacker stuff. [View Full Entry]
