no worries. i havent been near a computer coz ive been to officially the worse place in the world. more on that later.
its still 33 degrees here. but we're getting used to it. its a bit weird when the sunsets though coz its all red and you can look directly at the sun no problem. and its sets really quickly.
from the day we arrived until the eleventh we only spent about 35 quid! spent a bit more now coz we went on our s***ty beach trip.
so, the awful beach trip.... we booked a few nights in a hotel at a beach resort called pattaya where we were told there were beautiful beaches, coral and a good amount of tourists. we were SO disappointed when we arrived. everyone there were either fat, sunburnt, tattooed moutached, northern, english, sweaty, pervy men. and they were openly pervy. or, alternatively, money grabbing thai birds who were on the prowl for old men. and stared at you lots.
the first night we went out to look for some dinner. which was a failure as we wanted to eat some thai food...as we're in thai land and all. may aswell take advantage. all we could find was numerous "o'grady"s" and english pubs. the place was filthy. everything smelt of fags and we were the youngest people for miles around. it was actually the worst place ive ever been. soooooooo we stayed in our smelly hotel room lots and read and sunbathed by the pool. depending on how many pervs were lurking.
on the second day we took a boat trip to ko larn which was a really small island about 5 kms away. the beach was surprisingly gorgeous and a seafood lunch was included. yummy. so we had a nice day. and yesterday we stayed in bed all morning then went to see the curious tale of benjamin button (brad pitt), in english of course at the cinema which was pretty good and killed some time. we arrived back in bangkok about an hour and a half ago at the same old hostel (which we love) and we're soooo relieved:D
im happy. emotionally intact and mentally healthy and happy. especially now we're back in bangkok. it doesnt feel like ive been away 10 days already! im rather enjoying myself. im still really looking forward to australia. and singapore.
we met two girls on the island trip who were really nice who live in singapore they said theyd show us round singapore a bit when we're there. we're also going to stay at a friend of jess' mum's in singapore.
we arranged an air conditioned coach down to ko pa ngan which we're really looking forward to which leaves on the 18th. and its super cheap! that'll be the beginning of our journey down to singapore. we're going to stay on kop pa ngan for a few days then get the train down through malaysia to singapore. we arranged it through the israeli place we're in now that has free internet. and sells israeli food. and has a mini travel agents. they are super friendly and helpful. so we'll be on a coach of israelis. dad would be impressed.
we'll post all our photos when we get to singapore. if we dont find anywhere before. i havent taken a lot of photos really yet but jess has taken loads. im sure you'll love browsing.
more developments on date changes. we're going to fly out of singapore on the date planned but leave bangkok on the 18th as i said to make our way down there (earlier than intended) . we're going to fly out of fiji a week earlier i think as two full weeks of doing nothing and just sittin gon a beach is a bit much. so i should be home on the tenth-ish. which dad will be annoyed to know after fannying around with his flights to france.
we're going to the palaces and temples tomorrow now. goodnight!
Em xxxxxxx
