Jungle Club
This was our hut at the Jungle Club Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a good St. Paddy's Day!!! Hope that those of you who went to the cab had fun!!
So i guess i haven't written for a while or since the elephant camp anyway, so i figured i would update you and perhaps put some recent pictures up. So we went from chiang mai to bangkok on the train and then we had a few hours to kill in bangkok but it wasn't bad as we pretty much just went to our old guesthouse and watched the movie the beach for 2 hours and then it was time to go to the airport. So we got to the airport at around 7pm and once we were through customs we got a load of free food it was sweet because we were quite hungry! So we had more then our share and then we boarded our plane and about 9pm and they gave us a meal on it! Which was crazy since our flight was only an hour if that, so we've decided we love bangkok air haha! Then we landed and got our bags and found the guy holding up the hotel sign that
we were going too since we are smart and had pre booked a place for our first night. The jungle club was the name of it, and the pictures looked like it was on the beach when in fact it was way the hell up on some bloody mountain in the middle of nowhere. Well i guess it wasn't in the middle of nowhere because we could see the whole top of the island and the next island north to ko samui. The ride up was crazy, we were transfered from a van to this 4x4 vehicle and held on for dear life i swear! It was pretty much a straight incline and we had to hold onto the bars in the front of the truck we were riding in (we were sitting outside in the back, not in the cab with the driver) and i swear he was going like maybe 20km because it was so bumpy like it was crazy, finally after about 5 or so min. of driving up this mountain side we see some hut looking places (it was dark so we really didn't know what to expect) and we thought that those were our places
Jungle Club
The pool, and lobby up the hill we were staying in, only to have the driver yell out the window at us that we were going up there and he pointed to pretty much the top of this freaken mountain, we were laughing because we thought he was joking and of course he wasn't so yeah needless to say our place was on top of the mountain. It was really nice, we were in a little hut in the jungle like raw jungle, our hut had a bathroom in the back and it had a window which was all open so i mean any spider or gecko or thing could crawl through at any time. The lobby or place where everyone hung out was pretty nice though, i'll put some pictures up i don't feel like explaining it, did we really learn how to describe something in grade 5 mo?? haha! Looks like i did learn something from you then! Our pool was very nice as well, it kinda looked like the on one the OC with the open end on one end, it looked like you could swim into the ocean from it.
So anyway we stayed there for 2 nights at 450 baht per
Jungle Club
Hut down from the lobby where you could hang out in, like the view? night, which was about 12 bucks canadian, and now we are on the main road, and the beach for 350baht per night at this place called charlies huts, they are just a bed realyl but cheap so it works, and they are right on the beach. Also there is a cool bar next door to us where you can get like sandcastle buckets to drink out of that are only 250baht and they contain, one mickey of whiskey, one red bull, and a coke haha so anyway we plan on staying here for awhile. The beach is really nice, it's really hot out and we are probably the most white people out there haha! But you just wait... 2 weeks should be enough time to catch up to all these people i would hope.
Anyway we're off so hope all is well and you guys are all keeping safe and i'll talk to you later!
Love you all and miss you!

Beach time
Finally the beach hey! That Jungle Club place looks pretty nice, quite the view. Guess you would expect that being on top of a mountain haha. Definetly seemed far from the beach though. Now that you are on the beach though it looks amazing! Such white sand and blue/green oceans! You'll definetly get a good tan there. That bar sounds like trouble though haha time from some gong shows perhaps?? Well have fun on the beach k!!!!
