Hi Chris, love the blog - so sorry I missed you before you headed off.... It all looks so beautiful, I have to say it's quite inspiring - you're making my feet itch! Look forward to the next installment, they're cheering my cold, dull, grey January up. Have a waterbug for me! Lxx

It looks tough out there mate, I feel for you. Wallet, tickets and passport all left behind, a classic Woodsy moment!

Y'know, I'm a little bit through with getting drunk every night. I went travelling to get away from all that. Sure, we had some fun and were a little bit reckless, but I was surrounded by people I knew and I was safe.  Now I need some down time. I'm on a beach in Koh Chang surrounded by beautiful palms and sunsets to die for. What more could I ask for? That being said, I've landed myself a gig at the Tree House which is just like the Tomahawk but about 4 times the size. They are expecting over 200 people tonight - can't wait. So, in actual fact YOU should come HERE.

One other thing, please don't use this message board as a forum for telling stories about my mistakes.  I'm not perfect, we all know that, but I'm trying to better myself whilst away.  Bear in mind, I have friends and family back home looking at this blog and I don't want them worrying themselves unnecessarily over me, so have a bit of respect please.  You know I'm alright with you guys, but I'd appreciate it if you showed a bit of discretion.

Sorry to be a bit shirty, but if you care about me you'll understand.

 So long drunken 'friends'.  Rant over and out...

Chris

Yawn Yawn Yawn, sorry mate we'll all a bit drunk here..... C'mon show people what Lanta was really like, especially the nights sleeping in a drunken stupour on the beach, the mysterious UDI's, falling asleep while DJing (again), wearing a sarong aka beckham (gay) style, not leaving for the shops without the compass and lonely planet, and the many many nights getting really (and i mean really drunk) with your mates! From all your drunken mates who are having a better time than you. The Drunks of Lanta

Hi Chris, Sounds really exciting outy there...and looks amazing. Your not missing anything here but I probably don't need to tell you that. Look forward to reading more...take care x

Message for Johnny Allen, You'll be pleased to hear that after sunset, Louise and I regularly treat ourselves to an episode of Alan Partridge. Needless to say, I have been thinking of you. As for keeping out of trouble, let's just say I'm making the most of drinking with people I know. I woke up on the beach the other morning with the local Rottweiller (nicknamed Cujo) asleep by my feet. Chat soon...
