Having been sat on the roof one night, Ani has been bitten to hell and back by mossies.
They've blown up to over 50p piece size, and there's about 20 of them just on her calves.
Street food is amazing! - Ani has become obsessed with rotees (dough pancakes) with condensed milk, nutella and banana... she had about 5 in one day. Also, Pad Thai is great, so long as it's off the street.
We got up early one morning to avoid the heat and visit Wat Pho.
The temple was great and the reclining buddha was awesome! We could not believe the size of it - it even has toe prints!!! Everything about Wat Pho was great.

After lunch, Tanja and I tried fish massage. Yes, fish massage.
Ben insisted I gave it a go, yet was too scared to put his hand in the tank.
It was the wierdest thing ever - as soon as my feet were hovered above the water a mob of them raced to get at my feet. Freaky.
The bloke in the salon tried forcing my feet into the tank - I did not appreciate this. If a mass of super hungry fish were going to knaw at my feet, I wanted to do it in my own time, thank you very much!
This was the single wierdest thing I have done whilst travelling. We both ended up clenching our toes shut to stop them from swimming in and out between them which tickled like hell. The first 10 minutes was crazy - so surreal and tickly!
The concept is that the fish like to eat the dead skin off your feet - and, bonus, they managed to clean out my insect bites too! :)

Nigel Great update! I had a mud therapy this weekend; feel a bit short changed - should have insisted on the fish massage. Is there a species of fish best suited to this service?
