Hi everyone thanks for the messages its good to hear from people back home. Well after i finished my last installment me Rob and Joe when to see the golden mount it was really nice, there were such great views of Bangkok from the top, u'll see when i get chance to upload them! In the evening we all (Joe, Rob, Karen, Lynn, Henry, Renee, Spencer and Tara we meet up with the americans later which i didn't relise was going to happen when i was writing my last entry!) meet up and went to a night market called pat pong market it was in the red light district! and although the market was good we kept getting hasselled to go and see the ping pong show!!! and if you don't know what that is then trust me you don't wan't to!!! anyway we didn't go i best add!

the next day (27/09/07) we slept in late till check out, it was good to have a bit of a sleep in, but i wasn't that well if you get my drift, but i had my stash of pills that ive brought with me so im feeling fine now! after breakfast/lunch seen as it was after 12 by then we wondered around the market and then Joe, Rob and i went for a tai massage, it was 1/2hour on the feet and legs and 1/2 hour on the back and neck. The feet and legs was great if not a little tickelish!!! but the back and neck killed.

We then had another over night train with are new guide called champoo ( joe likes to call her pantene or conditioner!!) to Koh Sok national park, (28/09/07) well to get there we had to taken a 2 hour bus ride after getting off the 13 hour train ride!!! we arrived about 1 o'clock my room was alittle hut on stilts it was so scary, it was made of wood and full of bugs but i didnt take any photos as i forgot doh! the lodge called arts riverside lodge was as you can guess by the name by a river it was so pretty. We desided to go tubing (rubber tubes donut shaped) down the river it was great fun but i nearly ended up in a tree and crashing into a big rock face!!! Lynn managed to catch hold of my arm just in time to pull me clear!!! after that all the girls held on to each other and there rings and the guide to make sure none of us crashed again as natasha one of the new members of the group nearly came off her ring aswell! the other new member is natalie there both really nice and the come from coventry so not to far from mums. At nite when it was time for bed i was so sacred the huts were in the middle of the jungle and the others where really far from my hut, but im quite glad as well as Joe talks in his sleep and he woke Rob and tash and nat up sleep talking thinking there was a spider coming to get him!!! i was lucky i didnt get any spiders in my room just cockroches!!! how gross they scared me to death and you should have seen me dive for cover under my mosquitoe net!!!

The next day (29/09/07) we decided to go to Koh Sok national park where we booked a guide for 100 bart each and there was 5 of us nat and tash had gone to ride the elephants but we'd all done that so decided not to bother. the guide then proceeded to march us up hudreds of steps up the side of a massive hill again i nearly died!! i couldn't believe we'd paid for this torture!! it was like being back in Chang mai treking with Chai! and the worst of it was he couldnt speck a word of english and didnt show us anything! we walked up the steps on one side and back down them on the other! that was the worst money ive ever spent! we then procceded to find a path are selves as the half day we paid for only lasted 1 hour but to be fair i dont think i could have taken much more!! we then carried on up this trail we'd found that took you to a few waterfalls, but cause we'd already wasted an hour and it took over an hour to get to the first we only got to see one out of six which was a shame but by the time we got back to the lodge we walked for about 4 hours!!! we left joe and rob to carry on to the next one as we had to get across a river to carry on, so that when we turned back. when rob and joe got back they said they'd found this still pool and so they striped of to the boxes and jumped in, but although they'd done a leach check joe didnt managed to get away unscaved, as when he got back he noticed this patch of what he thought was dirt but then relised it was blood!!! he managed to pick up a leach on his way back and it had had its fill!! me and karen also had leaches on us but luckly hers was on her trainer and mine was on my trouser leg so we sprayed ares with deet and they fell off and died, so we killed two and joe saved one for 6 months!! he got a little hole in his leg where it got him!

The next day (30/09/07) i was up at 4.30am to get ready to leave Koh Sok at 5.30am it was then a 1 & 1/2 hours in a pick up truck to the bus, which was then 1 hour to the ferry and another hour on the ferry to get to Koh Samui we arrived at about 1 o'clock. we headed straight for the beach, the place were staying is ok i have pictures this time!! the beach is nice and we have a pool too which is great, in the evening we headed into town for a meal and to a ladyboy show! which was good fun and a goog laugh! then me tash and nat went to a club called mamboo club we stayed out till about 3.30am it was really good to have a dance.

Yestaday (01/10/07) i spent most of the day by the pool relaxing and sunbathing, my tan is coming along nicely! well i cant really say that about my legs but the rest is cumming along well! while i was relaxing but the pool joe decided to go for a swim in the sea and boy did he regret it!!! he got stung by gelly fish on his arms and chest and yes fokes he weed on himself!! now i bet your asking yourself how he managed to wee on himself but a drinking cup was involved! it helped with the sting but not his smell! only joking i think he washed himeself about 5 times afterwards! i don't think ill be swimming in the sea again, ill stick to the pool much safer! we went out again last night for a meal and a few drinks and back off to the club from the night before but this time with rob, joe, karen and lynn it was a good night we stayed out till 3 again, but im still feeling a little ruff now and its 3 in the afternoon!! we were supposed to be going to Koh Tao today but the weathers not been good so we're going tomorrow instead. we are supposed to be staying there till the 5th oct and then go back to Bangkok but as ive got an extra week after the tour finishes ive decided to stay in the south for a few extra days before going back to Bangkok for my flight. i think ill stay on Koh Tao and get the ferry back, then the bus and then the overnight train to Bangkok, this will be the start of my lone adventure but im sure it'll be fine!!

Well ill have to leave you there its getting rather long now!!!

Take care
