Hello from Thailand!!!
Its now Tue 1st so have been in Thailand now since Friday! Bangkok is just as mad as i remember it!! Booked into our hotel then went out for a few drinks with Rich and Liz - only two buckets later and a little too worse for wear but all got up the next day and went to the weekend market.
Me and Liz went to the grand palace the following day and even though we knew we had to cover up it still wasn't good enough and we were given dodgy skirts and i was also given a nice beige shirt! oh well - managed to get some good pics even though the little Thai midgits kept getting in the way! (We went on a Sunday which is their day of prayer so was really busy as they were all giving thanks to the emerald bhudda) Then we went for a 'fish massage' - so weird!! Its where you put your feet in a tank and the fish eat your dead skin, yuk!
Other then that we all just chilled and enjoyed Koh San road - ate Pad Thai etc from the stools, planned to eat some bugs (scorpions etc) but didnt get round to it - will try on one of the islands!
Did plan for all four of us to travel to Phuket together then onto Phi Phi but due to issues with visa's Rich and Liz have had to go back to Laos for a few days so hopefully will meet up with us at the end of the week. We booked to travel to Phuket via an overnight train to Suri thani then a 3 hr bus journey to Phuket - however didnt exactly work out that way - what was meant to be a 12 hour overnight train turned out to be 15 hrs (where they didn't turn the lights off all night so not much sleep had but other then that was quite comfy) then only just managed to make our '3' hr bus by 5 min! After getting from one coach to a tut tut then onto another coach and another 7 hours later we arrived in Phuket which is where i am now - was going to have a nice meal but settled for a Mcd's whilst sussing out plans going forward - not been up to much other then that so will update again soon :-)
