Hi everyone! We are in Pattaya still and have only just found out that our hotel has free internet!!! So we thought we would update you all. Well since we last saw you we have been up to a lot. We decided to go out on our first night for a few drinks, but ended up meeting some Australian guys who lived here so they took us out and showed us a few of the "sights" of the night...which was quite an experience, however they were nice guys and looked after us...we didn't buy a drink all night! Unfortunately this meant we were a bit worse for wear the next day so just went to pattaya beach! Then we booked a trip out to koh Lan or coral island, the sea was very choppy and sam felt sick! The island was nice but like pattaya was very touristy and the beautiful white sand and clear blue sea was ruined a bit by the deckdchairs and umbrellas that covered the beach. Today we went to tiger zoo where we got to hold a tiger cub which was awesome and my favourite part of the trip so far. We looked round the rest of the zoo and there was a tiger show, a elephant show which were both really sad as the animals were really scared and not happy. We also saw a crocadile show ! tomorrow we are going on an elephant trek, which should be good. To be honest we are both really looking forward to getting out of here and to oz as all in all we don't like it here that much. It is too touristy and there are so many locals pestering you all the time for taxi or stuff to buy it is very annoying!

lots of love laura and sam
