Hi guys!!! I'm here - I'm ok!! made it here in one piece!! :)
Sorry it's taken a while to let you all know but it's been really hectic since I arrived in Bangkok to be honest... i've really been travelling around manically non-stop an this is the first chance i've had to write!!
Arrived in Bangkok after an 11 hour plane journey!! managed to get in 6 hours of sleep as i had a 3 seater all to my little self - so not too bad!! Couldn't believe how bloody hot and humid it is over here - stepped out of the airport an the sweatiness began -Â hasn't stopped really!! met up with all of my group that night-Â thurs eve, and went out for a thai green curry... had to be done!! then out to a local bar which played live music... all of the group are really nice an friendly, an we all get on really well which is good. We're a mix of Scottish, Irish, English and an Ozzie!! :)
 So the next day- friday we started with a 4 hour bus journey!! to a floating market which was beautiful - it's amazing how they sell all their food and goods from these tiny little wooden boats... ended up buying a wooden bowl set with spoons - don't ask why!? just felt i should embrace the bartering experience but now have the bloody effort of having to carry them everywhere with me!! My big bag is really bloody heavy as well!! can only walk for bout 5 mins with it til i'm almost crippled with pain! why did i bring those bloody straighteners!!??.... ;)
Then went to visit Bridge over the river Kwai an a museum which was quite shocking as showed what happened to the POWs over here in 2nd world war... ooh an fed bananas to an elephant which was chained up in the jungle - it snotted on my hand!!
We then got an overnight train which was an experience i maybe wouldn't volunteer to do again sometime in the near future!! it was quite fun though!! had to sleep like sardines in beds that pulled out from the wall- and the toilets actually dropped it all straight onto the tracks! it was lovely! :) managed to go pretty much 24 hrs without a shower or change of clothes that day... as you can imagine we all smelled an looked delightful!!
After the train- saturday-we then had a 3 an half hour boat journey to the Thai island of Koh Pgan Ngan where we are for the next 4 nights. It's absolutely beautiful here, really is like paradise i won't want to leave!! we're off to another part of the island tonight which is a bit livelier with more bars an i think a club which should be fun!! Just been chilling and sunbathing today, just been out on a kayak which was hilarious!! didn't realise you could drift so far out!!
Anyways I'll get some pics up on here before long so you can see all the beautiful and exciting places i'm going on about!! :)
I'm going to a thai cookery class tomorrow so i can learn lots of delicious dishes... the meal choices are really chicken or seafood with rice or noodles but very yummy!! so i'll be attempting that with my obviously amazing culinary skills! got a trip on tuesday which is snorkelling and swimming in a waterfall and seeing monkeys and riding an elephant - so looking forward to that!!
I really am missing you all lots - but loving it out here too!! oooh it's just started raining-Â pissing it down actually!! It's still so warm though which is good! might take a swim in the rain :)
Lots an lots an oodles of love to you all...e-mail my hotmail ([email protected])
