Hey everyone, im now back in Bangkok and i didn't manage to change my flights so ill be off to OZ on the 13th Oct as planned! but its not been all bad, Joe and rob said i could stay with them at there thai friends house (she lives in england and worked with Joe but keeps her house in thailand) it was so nice to be able to stay in a house and it had aircon! we arrived on the 6/10/07 in the morning after having got the overnight train, once we got to Bangkok we said goodbye to natasha, natalie, Lynn and karen and Joe, Rob and me set off to get another train to Rong Sit where the house was. We got there at about 7.00am and made ourselves at home, then Kookia's (the house owner) uncle came round Num, he was so nice and very welcoming but he didn't speak very good english so it was quite hard to comunicate at first. The rest of the day we didn't do much which was nice, i had a sleep while the others watched thai telly!! in the evening we got a taxi into Bangkok and met up with Karen at the hard rock cafe for a meal and drinks it was a really good night but we were all really tired from the all day travelling the day before so we didn't stay out to late.
The next day (7/10/07) Num came round with macaroni and a chicken burger for breakfast!! the main problem was we'd already eated breakfast (cereal and toast!) but we had to eat it as he went to the effort and he'd paid! it was nice but not really some thing id usually have for breakfast! later we went to the Chautakat ( sorry not sure of the correct spelling) market it was massive it would have taken days to look all around it. we were only there for about 3 hours as we couldn't cope with the heat and people. when we got back we had a DVD night which was great.
The next day (8/10/07) Num came round with chips for breakfast!! i let the boys have most of them id already had cereal! Num then took us to dream world, we had no clue what dream world was when we left the house, we thought it was a shopping centre!!! but no it was a theme park! and we went on a few rides it was a good day. later we went swimming at a local pool which was nice and we tried to teach Nums son to swim but with the language barrier it was quite hard!!! in the evening we all went out to dinner (Num, his wife and son, me, Joe and Rob) the whole menu was in thai and what we hadn't relised, was that Num had already ordered over the phone!! so we ordered extra and there was so much food!! the main dish was fish it was nice very salty but nice, and egg and prawn fried rice that was really nice. i have no idea what the other dish i ordered was and i didnt each much of it, i was already full! Joe had what he reconed was fish inneds!! but he ate them! the meal was really nice and Num and his family are really nice to.
Yestaday (9/10/07) we had macaroni, sticky rice and barbaqued pork for breakfast we had said we didn't want any breakfast but he still turned up with it anyway!! luckly we learnt not to eat before he came round just incase he brought breakfast which he did!! Num then took us to future park a massive shopping centre but we'd done all our shopping so we were a bit bored! so Num took us bowling which was good. then we went back to the house to pack as rob left yestaday evening. we all went to the airport to see him off and it was so strange to say goodbye as we'd (Joe, Rob and me) had been together from the beginning!! Joe and i went back to the house and watched a DVD then went to bed as Joe left for Darwin this morning! again we all went to the airport to see him off and then i got a taxi back to Bangkok where im now on my own for the next 3 days!! ive booked into a hotel and im planning on not doing to much and trying to keep my costs down as ive well over spent here!!!! ill prob do the palace tomorrow and then that will be all that i wanted to do in Bangkok done!! so i have no idea what im doing on friday!! my flights sat morning and i'll arrive in Darwin on sun morning at 4.30am after a 6 hour stop at singapore airport!
Well my next entry will prob be in austraila. Oh and my sunburns doing ok i got blisters on my right arm and left leg but there getting better!!! ive been keeping out of the sun, not that its alway sunny we've had a few heavy showers including the thunder storm going on outside as im writing this!!! but ive been lucky so far and managed to stay dry! well thats it from me i hope everyone back home's ok.
