We are back in Bangkok now after spending the last three months in SE Asia. AS much as we are looking forward to Australia, it's hard to leave a place with white powdery sand beaches, turquoise clear water, friendly people, and some of the best food in the world!
Since I last wrote, we have done a lot. We met my parents in Langkawi, Malaysia for a few days on their way to Australia and spent time on the beach and taking a magnificent cable car ride to see views of hundreds of tiny islands. Mum and dad got to experience their first tropical SE Asian storm too, which led to us ending the afternoon with beer rather than beach!
From there, we headed back to Thailand. We did a great snorkelling trip on the islands of Ko Lanta and Ko Ngai. Scott spotted a leopard shark when we were snorkelling and soon everyone on our trip was there, diving down to it. We were willing it to swim off as we all wanted to see it swim, but it just stayed still at the bottom. I guess 15 snorkellers are no threat if you are
a leopard shark?!
We both had our birthdays in Thailand too. Mine was spent with Sam and Chris, a couple we met along the way, getting very ill on double-strength "birthday buckets" filled with vodka, red bull and sprite, and Scott's was spent dancing on the beach at Hat Rin, home of the full moon party!
