Hi everyone,
We are now on Koh phangan and staying in a cute little bungalow at a resort called 'Holiday beach resort'. It is so beautiful here and we have a swimming pool right on the beach where we are staying which is great. This place was recommended by Dans brother and is a great find. 500 bant a night which is 10 pound bewteen the two of us.
We hired a scooter for the day on the 15th and explored alot of the island. this is the second biggest island in thailand so you really need a scooter if you want to see more then just where you are staying. Dan drove and was a very safe driver you will be pleased to here. i said I would do some of the driving but when it came to it i chickend out. It is still really undeveloped here on the West and North coasts of the islands from what we saw and far nicer then Samui.
Yesterday we went and did and elephant ride through the Jungle here. Was good to do, but I did feel bad for the elephants and morally dont really think its that great, although they are well looked after from what we saw. Dan wanted to do it but think he felt the same as me. Dan rode sitting in the elephants head for the last half hour which was cool for him but i didnt fancy that so stayed in the seat. The elephant sneezed all over me at one point- disgusting. No amount of hand santiser could get rid of that lot lol so I hand washed my clothes and had a shower as soon as we got back to our room. The Elephant also squirted water over us when it was washing itself.
We have meet a girl where we are staying who is travelling thailand on her own and we went out with her last night. Is nice to meet someone travelling alone as gives me confidence about being in thailand alone when dan leaves.
Matt arrives here today and the plan is for us to hire scooters tomorrow and all go up to the waterfalls in the moutains here so fingers crossed we do get to do that.
Lots of love xx
