Sawatdee Khrab from Thailand! Well I have had an interesting, but exciting past few days. ( You may see from the pictures that I have touched and stroked fully grown Tigers, more on that later... ) I arrived in Thailand, at Bangkok Airport, on Friday.

Problem!!
Dean i have some problems with this last blog of yours. 1) Firstly in the picture entitled, 'me and a tiger' you appear to have your finger up that tiger's anus! I know you spoke about 'once in a lifetime chance', and at least you can say you've done it, but to be honest i think you are exploiting their degree of domestication. 2) You say a meal costs about £1.50 out there and let us assume you buy a large portion of chips for £1.50. You then claim your £150 suit was, 'cheap as chips'....Dean, either chips in Thailand are obscenely expensive or you sir, are telling fibs. 3) Interesting fact you might like to know about tigers: stripy cats in england are actually just underdeveloped tigers, if you feed them protein supplements from a young age you get yourself a tiger. 4) Interesting fact about scorpions (this one's not a lie!) if you put some alchohol on a scorpion's back it will sting itself to death!!! I read that off a penguin biscuit wrapper so it must be true!!! So though i am impressed with you consuming a scorpion, a real man would have swallowed a live one and washed it down with a triple whiskey! Have fun and hijinks etc....Kingba

Deeeeeean, It's been a while since i wrote on this bad boy but I've only just got the internet in the new house! first thing I've got to say- the floating village! That palce is awesome, I went there a few years back with the fam, although what brought it's awesome'ness down a level was a monkey that mugged us on our arrival!..little critters.. You really should love Phuket! Lovely place, amazing beach(es).. memory is wearing thin so don't rely on me for any suggestions. That said it should be time to go and finish making my bed.. literally make it- the buggers delivered it flat packed, how very dare they.. starting to talk shart now, so i'm gonna say take care mate! Enjoy the rest of Thailand.. Speak sooooon!
