Hi everyone I only have 15 minutes in this cafe so shall be very quick. The flight from Bangkok wasn't too bad, loads of Chinese people and lots of puching and shoving. I met June at the airport and we took a taxi to the hotel. It is amazing, very posh. I felt like a tramp walking in and haven't enough nice clothes to feel as though I fit in. It all seems terribly expensive compared to Bangkok but still a bit cheaper than the UK. It's hot but not as humid (yet) ...

I'm waiting to see if I can get a room at the hotel I like but through another company! We had a talk last night by a marine biologist from the UK and our centre's vet. It was really interesting. T...

Hiya I've spent a very quiet day here today, just the normal duties for a change. I think one week is long enough as the second is going to be a repeat of the first but with new volunteers. After i got stroppy about having to the housekeeping again within four days, i have decided to call it a day on Wednesday and am heading off for luxury in a hotel at Cha-am, a lovely hotel right on the beach at the astronomical cost of 22 pounds per night including breakfast....
