Heya... Sorry the only photos i managed to upload before my camera died was just me with some sexy guys... what a shame! I dont have really much to report.. we had a couple of nights out.. we all got ill for a few days with sick etc... lied on the beach.. swam, Some people did go snorkelling, during the pukey time.. so i didnt, which i dont regret becaus ei never realised how sea sick i get! So i think today may be the only day i havnt felt sick... and ive just eaten the biggest fish n chips ever.. and regretably im now sat with a huge iced mocha... topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles... bloated! But i am, however, tanned and have a white bum! Home Soon! Mum... i want mash! and beans.... ... read more

I've been sick with some sort of stomach parasite I picked up on the way home from Koh Samet (trip to the Phrao hospital! Woo!), so I'm going to keep this short with more to follow later in the week. Huyen and I spent over 24 hours traveling from Phrao to Koh Samet. Two hours from Phrao to Chiang Mai. We were in Chiang Mai for 4 hours, meeting some friends for dinner. Then an overnight bus at 9 pm that arrived in Bangkok at 7:30 am. Good times, as we were woken up every hour for bathroom breaks along the way. Then 4 hours of trying to get across town and waiting for the bus in Bangkok, followed by 3 1/2 hours south and east to Ban The. Then a 40 minute ferry ride to ... read more

After a very busy 4 weeks exploring and sightseeing in China, Laos and Bangkok we thought it was time for a little break - 'tis a hard life!! We jumped on a bus to Ban Phe and a ferry across to Ko Samet. I decided that it made more sense for one of us to stay with the bags (ie. me) whilst the boys found us a place to stay. It was nearing sunset by the time we got there so I pitched up on the beach with our bags. It looked beautiful, white sands, blue sea, some nice chilled music coming from one of the bars. I was starting to think "this really is the life" when I noticed a dog doing his business on the beach, then he wandered over to me and cocked ... read more

Hiya! I always say a quick one and it never seems to be one!! Its absolutely beautiful here! Never seen anything like it, white sands and amaaazing beaches and so relaxing and lovely! A nice change of pace from ko san road in bangkok! Ok so we had to get a ferry over here after travelling on a coach for about 4 hours! Got on the ferry absolutely fine. I had decided to wear heels because then i could squidge everything into by backpack which currently has everything screwed up in it! not good! This turned out to be a very silly idea. Any normal person would have probably figured this out earlier! I was getting off the boat with my backpack and then I lost my balance and fell backwards into a giant pile of ... read more

Wollte euch nur kurz mitteilen, dass wir gut in Thailand angekommen sind. Nach schoenen Wochen in Laos haben wir unsere fuer diese Reise letzte Nachtzugfahrt in Richtung Bangkok angetreten. Bangkok ist heiss, stinkig, laut, voll, bunt, stinkig, stickig, feucht, gross, stinkig und einfach sehr sehr anstrengend (habe ich erwaehnt das es stinkt?). Wir haben uns daher entschieden ein wenig mehr (6 Euro p.P.) fuer die Uebernachtung auszugeben und uns ein Hotel mit Swimmingpool gegoennt. Fuer mich persoenlich hat sich die Ausgabe nicht wirklich gelohnt, fuer die anderen auch nicht richtig daher das naechste mal wieder billiger. Diese Stadt ist so stressig, dass nichtmal ein Pool den Ausgleich schafft. Ich weiss nicht wie es den Leuten geht die Bangkok lieben - waren die schonmal im Maerz hier? Der heissesten Zeit in Thailand? Fuer mich ist das nichts. ... read more
