Arrived in hau hin on friday afternoon. It was a long trip I caught the government bus from the southern bus terminal it's the best way to travel sure, it takes a while but its cheap as chips. One problem was the bus seamed to stop every 300 metres and let someone on/off and by the time we got to cha am it was just as the schools were finishing so 50 school kids piled on. It was a very a very hot day when I got to hau hin and I had to walk quite a way to the hotel i was staying at but resisted all the offers of a tuk tuk ride. When I got there I just wanted a room fast, so I paid my money and took a room. Went out ... read more

Ricky here - got 10 mins so thought I would add something! So we got back to our beach front pad at about 4.30am on Sunday morning - or so we believe according to the time of the last picture on our camera! Having said that, we were up reasonably bright and early and were packed and checked out of the Anantara by about 11.30am. This gave Ricky a chance to take a final walk to the Seven Eleven for some breakfast and drinks for the taxi. We had been warned that the journey back to Bangkok airport could take up to five hours depending on traffic (you have to go right through the city centre to get to the airport) - so we had booked our cab (a jeep type thing given the amount of ... read more

The next morning, we slept till 12pm!! I was raging we missed breakfast, but delighted we didn’t miss pool happy hour!!! The 4 of us got chatting to some other Scottish contingents in the pool - funny that - it was all Scottish folk in pool at that time!! We pretty much spent the whole day there. Every hour is happy hour for Ricky and me!! Later on we headed to the Night Market and in, true Thai style, you can buy just about anything for nothing!! We had some dinner there at a seafood place were the waiter came over with a massive king prawn and then an even bigger king prawn to help us decide. We took a wee walk around town and it was here that I was really surprisingly cultured shocked by ... read more

Untitled Luke Williams & Katie Ellis Hey everyone, Just thought we'd get in touch before we move again, onto some remote islands. The past week has been a real lazy, beach week. Waking up around 10 everyday (but that doesn't mean getting up then!) and then rolling onto the beach. We've done a bit of sightseeing but spent most of the time swimming, sunbathing and building sandcastles (Luke!). On Sunday we got caught up in the celebrations of a traditional Thai wedding. What an experience! Lots of loud music and lots of dancing with the majority of them really, really drunk! The precession moved along the street and took ages. The bride had high heels and had to keep stopping to have a sit down but the groom (typical man) got carried on the back of ... read more

Hi everybody sorry for the delay in the next blog we have not been bothered to sit down at a computer it is so hot and humid. So we are now in Thailand. Over the last week we have done quite a bit of moving about since we last updated from Shanghai. From there we got the sleeper train down to Hong Kong, ferry to Macau and plane to Bangkok shortly followed by another train to Hua Hin where we are now. So much has happened over the last week or so that we really cant remember or be bothered to write it all but we'll do our best. So here goes.. Some day last week (its getting hard to keep count now) We left Shanghai after staying there for about a week. We both ... read more
