Hello!!
I've now been here 5 days and so far it's been pretty amazing. Landing in Bangkok was bit daunting as it's the most crazy place I have ever been in my life. It was 35 degrees, and baking hot so the first hour or so was a little stressful but I soon met Ben and Becky (friends from home) and quickly settled in after a curry and a few drinks/1 bucket was all i needed. We found a bar on Koh San Rd with live music which was loads of fun . The next day I just roamed around Bangkok with a guy i met at the airport which was nice. We got lost so found some places off the main roads which was fairly eye-opening to what the city is like. My overall impression of Bangkok was not good. Very smelly and chaotic but still managed to have a good time.Not sure I would want to go back any time soon....
So now im Ko Tao...
It's one of the SOuth Islands and it's pretty much paradise. I travelled down with Ben and Becky which was a god send as there was no way I would have ever made it on my own. We have a bungalow about 10m from the beach which for ten pounds a night which is insane. Yesterday we just chilled out on the beach which was amazing as it was the first time I had stopped since I landed! We went back a bit later to watch the sunset and wandered along the beach and found a restaurant. a few glasses of wine whilst watching the ocean and fire dancers whilst chilling out on some bean bags was really very nice. Tomorrow we are getting a motor bike and heading to the other side of the Island before heading off to Kho Phangan for the full party on the 6th.
So far... it's been amazing. Having a great time and really getting into life here. It's so cheap and so chilled out so I have nothing bad to say! Obviously not including the horrendous sun burn and millions of gnat bites.
Anyway I'm off out for dinner... will check in soon!
