hi all, well my first message of the new year - so i hope you all had a good one and you enjoy 2007!! oh and another birthday message, paul i hope you have a good one dont get too drunk! lol! well the ladyboy show in bangkok was good, similar to the show me and mum saw a while back but actually the one i saw in the uk was better, pattpong was an experience to say the least its the 'red light' area of bangkok and we all went to a little pub in an alley thet reminded me of a seedier area of the village in manchester it was great to see and experience. then the next day we headed to see the death railway and the bridge over the river kwai, it was pretty sad reading about the story in the museum and going to the cemetary. that night we were on another overnight train to krabi, we got in bout 6ish then had to get a 2hr coach ride to krabi province which is the beachier area rather than the town. it is beautiful to be near the beach again, after checking in a few of us went across to railie beach which is a 15min boat ride away and was lovely but it was very strange as when we were in the sea we all got a bit itchy and prickly - turns out theres sea lice in the sea which dont harm you but it wasnt a very pleasant experience so i dont think il be going back in again! that night we went for a lovely meal and to a lovely little bar. yesterday we all went sea kayaking, iv never done it before and it wasnt really aimed at beginners, it was kindof fun for the first hour and half then it just got tiring and pretty annoying trying to battle the waves, last night we celebrated new years eve in style it was probably the best new year iv had and im with such a great bunch of people who helped to make it that way - its so sad that the tour officially ends on wed but at least some of us are staying together for a while and doing a couple of islands. unfortunately the downer of the evening was that we heard about four bombs goin off in bangkok in which 2 thais have died, im glad im not there but its so sad for the people that are especially as it happened in a very touristy area. im gonna stay on koh samui starting wednesday until the 10th jan and im on a flight back into bangkok which arrives in at 11am, just in time to meet mum at 1pm in the airport when my 'holiday' begins. well love to you all, see you soon! gem xxxx
