Hi everyone!
Just wanted to send a quick message to say i have arrived safe and sound!!
Everythings all taking a bit of getting used to but having a fantastic time so far! Bangkok is an amazing city, cultural difference are huge but its fun to watch it all happen...
Had a cool day today, been exploring the city. Took a long boat up the river which was an experience, went very fast and the driver kept sticking his thumb up at us, a good chap!
Meet some really nice people who we have been hanging around with all day!
Part from that not a great deal to report, check back soon for pics!!
Hope your all well
Ad!

Got up fairly early today and met up with Helena, Tom, Chris and Laurie (the newly formed traveling posse!!!) Went up Ko San Road (really busy street full of market stalls and from what i could make out you could buy pretty much anything you wanted!). I bought myself a very swanky thai outfit (see photos, u will know which pic it is!) Must say i looked a little follosh when wering the top and trousers together but the trouser work well with a nice vest!!
We found an amazing ice cream parlout which was VERY well needed, its very hot and we were walking around alot! Had bit of a close shave with some thai con guys who tried to lead us to what looked like a pretty didgy part of town, but fortunatly we got wise to it and bailed!
Went out for a nice thai meal with all the guys, had a nice spicy noodle dish! Then we met up with most of the other people staying in the hostel for many many drinks! Had a great night, i ended up siningg about 8 songs in karaoke which went down really well. I was even joined on stage by a thai prostitute with whm i sang little prayer by madonna with!!

Got up very late today! Didnt lave the hostel till about 2. Steph was feeling VERY rough and fainted when we all went out for coffee, she was ok and right as rain after abit of lunch! Started to plan moving on from bangkok, really cool cos all 6 of us want to dpo the same thing and are staying together as a group. Booked up the train/bus/boat ticklet to take us down to Koa pang nang which is an the island where the film the beach was filmed, were all very excited!!!
Decided on having a pretty quiet evenjing so we took th sky train up to Siam. Nicest part of the city i have seenm, very modern and clean. We went to the aquarium which was awesome, toomk some pics of fish and lots of funny pics too!

Final day in Bangkok! Got up early and went to pick up our train tickets. Feeling very lucky to have met such nice people to travel with so early on in the trip. Really looking forward to spending the next couple of weeks with them when we will part ways, but plan to meet up again later in the trip!!
Spent the day visiting temples in Bangkok. Incredible sights, hard to put into words sp i will let the pictures tell the story! Really enjoyed the cultural day and had fun with the guys too!
Mad rush to get to the train station but we just about made it. Boarded the train for the 12 hour journey ahead, had a bed and everything! Had a great laugh o the journey, played lots of s*** head and Helena taught us how to make origami swans!
Trying to get some sleep but its not easy on this noisy, very hot train. Gunna stick at it though!
