Take care love Anthea
Again!! Hey Leon
And here I was thinking I was addicted to Thailand... you seem like you never leave the place!! Have a great time, and say hi to Michelle at the ENP for me if you get this message beforehand!
Reet xx
Hi Anthea As always I have been having a very interesting and fun time here. Friday night I am heading back to Korat and the village, leaving from Bangkok. My friend's Grandfather passed away last night so I am not sure how everthing will be there so I guess that I will find out how a Buddhist family will deal with bereavement. Grandma is the nicest lady so I feel very sad for her and Grandpa seemed like a gentle, good man the few times that I met him recently when he was very ill. Alll the best Leon in Thailand
White Water Rafting Hi Leon,Sounds like youre having a fantastic time again always lots to see and do especially those all night discos. Your Thai family certainly take good care of you. Glad the weather isnt too rainy. Take care Anthea.
Korat Hi Leon,
Sounds like you have a whole new family in Korat hopefully we will go over and meet them some day. We have just got back from not so sunny Queensland and have enjoyed catching up on your travels. Enjoy your last few days so much to see and do and hopefully other travellers will read your blog and get some very good ideas on sightseeing and safety. See you soon Anthea.
I am back in Bangkok Thanks Anthea, I am back in Bangkok today Sunday 6th after a great week in Korat, it has been an amazing experience touring and staying with a family in the village and I have grown very attached to them all, it was very difficult to leave. It has been my most enjoyable trip to Thailand so far, all the best from Leon

Ripped Off!! Why didn't I get an icecream for my 750 baht!!?? :-( Loving your blogs Leon... safe travels xx PS Never ran into Lek at the ENP .. I was pretty sick that day and ended up sleeping upstairs for the afternoon and getting a massage! LOL xx
Hi Anthea Hi Anthea, I have just returned to Bangkok after a week in Krabi and Koh Samui - I have been having a busy time on day tours and have been to Thai discos/nightclubs at both destinations every night and met some interesting new friends as well. The music at the clubs with the live bands and shows here make for great fun. I may do some more day tours in Bangkok of places I have not seen yet, don't think I will be going too far away though - Leon
Lumpini Park Hi Leon Hows things Lumpini Park sounds like a fun place to visit as always some great photos for us to see. Are you having a quieter time this trip havent heard much about the nightclubs ?. Anthea
Thanks from Leon Thank you Naz, I really appreciate your comments and I am happy that I can provide useful information for other travellers. I have done a lot of research before arriving in Thailand about each destination by reading blogs and forums and I am still learning every day. All the best for your honymoon and please message me anytime if I can be of help with any other information - Leon

The Swedes Hi Reet - I love everything and nearly everyone here - never had so many hugs from people ive only known for days and some since my previous trip - the Swedish biker guy invited me to their pub on the saturday night and was a really nice guy - I reckon it would have been a wild night but I was returning to Bangkok for a party here - hard to imagine i will be returning to a quieter life soon - pls let me know if it is Ok to put a link to your first Thailand blog in this blog - The lady in the restaurant was a great laugh and spoke great english and kept telling me she had no husband etc - could hear the wedding bells hehe - Will be great to read the blog for your next trip
Love it! Wow it brings back some memories! I loved this place so much.. cant believe I am not going back this time... I could always leave a day early from Ko Phangan I guess.... How hilarious about the Swedish bikers... I had a group of swedish bikers staying there the same time as me and I swear it is probably the same group... one was married to a thai lady, and i am pretty sure she was from Phuket!!!! LOL! They provided me and my son plenty of entertainment that night! :-) Hope you loved this place as much as me! xx
