Choppers Travels
Hello.
Got back to Bangkok yesterday (about 6 in the morning) after a 10 hr bus ride from Surat thani (nr Kho Phangan, the full moon place). Been quite busy recently.
The full moon party was excelent, got back to the hotel about 10am after a cracking night out. Spend the night drinking buckets (mekong rum, red bull and coke) next to the sea. It's hard to explain the full moon, basically every bar on the beech pumps up the music to massive levels and they stay open for about 48 hours. You spend the night hammered and playing in the sea (at one point some thai lad passed out and was sick in his mouth, good old me stepped in and sorted him out and he was fine (i think). Anyway that was the full moon, not much happens apart from drinking and getting wet.
We were actually very fortunate because it was also the Thai new year, this meant that in the day there was a massive water fight all around thailand which is really nice when it's 35c.
Ellen and george arrived yesterday, so obviously we showed them the sights of Bangkok (straight to pat pong for the ping pong show, if you've seen sticky vicki in benidorm then you know the score). Today we've been very good and gone to see the golden palace (lots of temples) then to Wat po (to see the 46m buddah, bery big).
Tomorrow we're off to the river kwai and the floating market (you may have seen it on the advert for Thai bites, when everyone starts speaking cockney. I don't think they do that there really), we're also off to see the thai boxing in the evening.
Thursday may be a mad day, Ellen has got it into her mind to go to the Bangkok hilton (prison) and visit an inmate, so we're all gonna go and say hello. Then in the evening we're off to Chang Mai (to play with elephants, a word of warning grom Joe Devlin, if you go disco dancing with an elephant make sure to stand 5 feet away from them!!!!).
After that Laos.
Will try to update soon.
Have fun, Matt and nic
