Just back from Phuket Hi Anthea, Michael, Scott and Emma - just back from Phuket after a very big week in Patong Beach and southern jungles - have had a very bad cold which is nearly gone and has not stopped me from going to "Rock City" 3 nights in a row till 2 or 3am in Patong Beach - great live music - I am going to the staff party at the pub tonite in Bangkok so I should get plenty of cold tonic to cure me - glad to hear Father is doing well - will be good to see him and you all when I return - the days are going so fast now - i want to stay but know I must return - will be some tears later in the week - bye for now - all the best.
Cambodia Hi Leon, Hows things all well here. Cambodia sounds interesting but very sad not sure I could visit the genocide museum. Some fantastic photos and how did you ever climb up and down those stairs. Well nearly time for you to come back to boring Adelaide, dad has been transferred to a Rehabilitation Hospital at Hove Kerry says he is doing well we have been away for a week but have a nice feed of fresh crab for him. look forward to reading your next installment. Take care love Anthea.
Hot here too!! Thanks Anthea, I have been thinking about Dad and hoping he was recovering Ok, just back from Cambodia, very hot there but some incredible sightseeing, bit cooler in Bangkok lately which is good, away again on Sunday down south for a week, hope you had a great time at Coobowie.
Making the most of the time left!!! Hi Tanya, thanks and Happy New Year to you and all your family and everyone in Kadina, I am just back from Cambodia with a 2 day break before heading south to Khao Sok and Phuket so I will update my blog if there is some spare time which seems to be going quickly now, all the best from Leon
Birdman Hi Leon never new you were such a bird of the feathered type watcher, sounde like fun not too sure about the bats though.

JUST BACK FROM RIVER KWAI Well I have just had the most amazing three days at Kanchanburi - met some great people everywhere I went and my blog will describe it all - I am so tired, never walked so much as I have at Hellfire Pass and Erawan Falls - I am doing nothing today except this blog and will go out tonight - yes the repat is more comfortable for Dad - talk to you soon
River Kwai Hi Leon How was the River Kwai and Hell Pass.your not the only one getting hot weather 39 - 41 here at the moment thank god for the pool. Dad has finally been moved to the Repat last Friday saw him before he went and he was much happier going to see hiim today will tell him some of your exploits. I think you will need a rest when you get home. Will try and ring you on New Years Day not too early though for no doubt you will be discoing the night away. Stay safe and enjoy yourself Love Anthea and co. xxxx
Christmas Day Christmas started quiet at the klongs as per my blog and ended up at the buffet which had ham and turkey, nice, then the disco and back to my room about 330 am. Was lucky I have made some friends in Bangkok and we danced the night away, would have been very lonely but they are gr8 fun. Hope Dad is getting better, yeah the repat is a better spot for him. I am off to Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai tomorrow - 27th to walk all of the Hellfire Pass and revisit one of my favourite places at Erawan Falls - talk to you soon, hope you are all well - not sure where the privat msg went but It did not arrive - bye for now
Hi Leon, Hows things sounds like your having a fantastic time, hope your Christmas Day was enjoyable. Sent you a private message the other day dont think you could have got it. Noting private in it just our best wishes. Dad is hopefully going back to the Repat tomorrow he will be much happier there. Will ring you soon love Anthea and co.

Hi from Adelaide Hi Leon, Glad to hear everything going ok, Dad is getting better every day and is up and walking slowly. Take care watch the hangovers and enjoy the countryside. Speak soon love all.
VN Yeah reckon I will try VN this time, stayed at the felix last time but that is too far way from the action although an excellent resort style hotel. I am on a peregrine tour in Cambodia so I astuck with their hotel although they wont tell me what it is at this stage.
