Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone who is reading this hope all is good and santa brought you a bit more than coal!!

We spent our christmas on the small island of Koh Samet which was beautiful and we splashed out for three days, moving from paying £8 per night to a (heart attack amount for me) £40 p/night!! So christmas was spent on glorious white sands and clear waters. We arrived christmas eve with our small paper christmas tree stolen from pizza hut in pattaya and were extremely happy to get back to island life. The extra we spent on accomodation was well worth it as we had a ocean front bungalow with views over three white sandy beaches. The most vigourous exercise of the three days involved hiring a kayak for an hour and lazely paddling along the islands shore line. Bangkok for shopping now and then back to the cold, wind and rain!!
