Jenny So envious of the weather - damn freezing here !

Sam Hi guys, In the end we decided against the Full Moon party. Which was the main reason we went to Phan Gan really. After a few weeks of hitting the buckets pretty hard we we're feeling the pain and thought another night might push us over the edge to insanity :). We both wholaeheartesly blame the Thai Red Bull... Geez, it's intense stuff. Gives you a proper come down feeling too! I must admit the valium was under expected when asking foe sleeping tablets! Haha... Glad to hear you all had good X mas'. What did you do for NYE? Stu - cool about the Nettle Warrior. By the sounds of it it's pretty intense stuff. I think we will both be back in training mode when we get back. The food out here is too good and too cheap. So I will have to get back on the jogging to get rid of the spare tire! Ha.... Love you all sam xx

Bee & Ben Yo yo yo, Happy New Year you guys! Sounds like you're having lots of fun over there, glad you enjoyed your Xmas & New Year - you did well with the VIP buses, think we managed to land ourselves one of those on route to Singapore, nice recliner seats but still couldn't sleep, missed a trick with the old Valium clearly! Did you brave the full moon party or stay clear? Private beach sounds lovely. So glad you guys are enjoying yourselves & looking forward to the next update, wow Langkawi's gonna be amazing I bet! Lots of love to you both & yep still wishing we were there with you!! xxxxx

Jenny Get on the "hop on - hop off" bus in KL for about 14 ringetts- well worth it as it takes in all the landmarks.

Party Boy Stu Popping valiums! Amazing and proper funny! hey guys...what a crazy journey you have been on recently but glad you are both still living the dream and safe. We had a great xmas...very quiet and chilled compared to your adventure...lots of drinks and lots of food. I was busy socially at work leading up to it which was perfect and had proper nights out and parties most of it all paid for! Now back to the grinstone and a manic year ahead...lots going on....oh and by the way guys I have signed up to do Nettle Warrior this year in July haha. Much love

Vickey Hey Guys! Nice to hear from you! Its funny how quickly you become an expert! Were on a private beach in Koh Pangan at the moment & Internet is VERY expensive so we're going to blog again soon when we move on in a day or so... xxx Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Keith & Vanda Vicky, Sam, What great experience you are having. You should write a travel guide after this!!!! We had a great Christmas and a good New Year. Now trying to get back to Normal. Happy new year to you both.

Vickey & Sam Yeah we got the bus, wasn't that bad to be honest! In Pai at the moment.. Very hippyish! Back to Chiang Mai tomorrow ;) x

Jez Did you guys take the bus then? Sounds like you're having a good time :) If you guys felt old when you went tubing then I imagine I would've been out there telling people to "turn that racket down!!" haha. Sendong much love from the Upton camp, can't believe it's nearly Christmas. Hope you have a festive time in Chiang Mai, I'd still love to be out there in all that heat! It's damp and dreary here at the mo. xx

Jenny Decision on mode of transport made then ? Seems the bus won ??

Vickey & Sam Hey Party Boy & Buck! Yeah, it did get a bit crazy tubing & this guy we were with was like some kind of club rep in a past life, he had us doing cheerleading pyramids, Girls on guys shoulders & s*** loads of drinking games... Haven't touched a drop of booze since though! Aww off for Eggy Noggy! Wish we were there! "Chesnuts roasting on an open fire...etc etc" Love you guys xxxxxx
