Well hello again from the lovely Bangkok. It was a mad and tiring flight to here from Columbo but the amazing-ness of this place is enough to keep anyone awake. Arrived at the airport at 10.00am and hopped onto the bus to Kho San Road, the backpackers haunt. On route met a German guy named John, who turns out to be a nice guy. When getting to Kho San he came to the same hotel (a place called Kho San Palace) and we both decided to have a look arround the s...

Met up with them again today, and they came with me and my driver to Kandy's Botanical Gardens and then on to an elephant orpahnage, with around 50 ...

I left UK on Monday the 23rd jan from Heathrowm after a few pints and a chance encounter with none other than Bjork, who was sat opposite me in the Departure lounge. As you can imagine I dearn't go up to her as we all know what happens to the madame in airports if she's not on a good day. Got to Singapore airport at a mear 12 and a half hours later, with sleep deprivation and a severe need to lie down. Stayed there for 4 hours then boarded my flight, bound...
