Thurs 1st July
So left phnom penh finally (woop woop) for Bangkok at 6 AM! Massively long journey. Managed to avoid a bus ticket scam at the border - nicely swerved by our assertiveness i feel :) aboard the bus sonia developed a very wierd rash everywhere! was very worrying but settled down with the use of some anti-histamines. Otherwise arrived safely in bangkok at 8pm.
Friday 2nd July
Went on a day trip to Kanchanaburi to see the bridge over the river kwai and the JEATH museum- a WW2 site. Went on the train over the death railway (Doug would have loved it!!- immensely beautiful.. sadly me n ferg couldn't apprecite the full beauty due to fergs lurg and my stupidity in taking my malaria before breakfast AGAIN). I received a marriage propsal from the tour guide which was rather random :) Met some crazy (and vain!!) koreans who were showing me their pictures... alot of them just singlely posing to the camera.. very funny. they even managed to sneak into a few of our photos! :) After went to a waterfall (that again was not deep enough to swim in... sad times!!!) but me n son still had fun climbing the surrounding rocks.
As soon as we got back to bangkok after our day trip we got on a night bus to ko tao.
Sat 3rd July
Arrived ko tao 9am after a night bus and catamaran to the island. Got a room at mr J's. (who makes and sells home made condoms!!! "guaranteed 20 years!!") Chilled on Sairee beach. Not very good for swimming due to shallow coral! I stupidly fell asleep without renewing sun stuff and managed to burn my bum,... son burnt her whole body :( at least ferg escaped from burnage :)
Sun 4th July
Went to a smaller beach by our guesthouse. Bought snorkel gear for 160 baht!!! only to find out that my mask was rubbish and leaked straight away- gutted.
Went out in Ko tao.. not a particular great night scene(the music was pretty naf). However we chilled with some girls from lemington spa and managed to entertain ourseleves with some buckets and watched the fire dancer/thrower people. End of night got some island chips and sung disney songs on the way home-it was magical!
