Hi all Greetings from a very hot and humid Bangkok again. I'm staying in the Khao San Road area and so much for sightseeing, it"s far too hot for that. The guy at the hotel got his minutes and metres mixed up so I walked miles out of my way trying to find it. I left my lovely hotel in Cha-am yesterday and paid 150 bahts for a taxi to take me 2km to the bus station. The bus from Cha-am to Bangkok cost me 147 bahts to go 160kms!!! I got a taxi from the bus s...

Morning all I've been let off work this afternoon by my team mates as I'm having problems booking a hotel for the three nights. Little did I know that it was Chinese New Year Wednesday night and another public holiday on Friday so most of the hotels are fully booked! 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.

Abby and I were greeted and treated to a glass of something... (didn't like to ask what it was). We then got shown into changing rooms and then into the j...

Hi everyone How are you all coping with the cold? It's well over 35 degrees here and I'm slowly going browner. I didn't get the time to go to the internet cafe yesterday as a group of us decided to go to Cha-am to the night market. It was very busy and lots of smells from the food stalls but wasn't brave enough to eat al fresco! I bought a pair of Christian Dior sunglasses for about 3 pounds! We only had a couple of hours there and caught a taxi back, meeting u...
