Wasssuppp!
You know all this writting is a pain in the arse! So I have decided that I'm not going to be posting postcards at the moment. Maybe later on. But anyway I have arrived in Thailand! Actually I have been here for a few days. We crossed the boarder on Monday and took a bus to a place called Nakhon Si Thammarat, which is in the south of Thailand. Its quite an interesting place, it has lots of history, inparticular with the Shadow Puppet shows which used to be huge in Thailand, but now NST is one of the few places where there have the authentic shows. So we went to one and a local student showed us around. There were no tourist around which was great. Infact all the good places have been tourist free, like the jungle stay in Malaysia. Anyway that evening me, Harry and the yanks went to the hotel bar (the hotel was quite posh, for example the bar ladies would come over and refill your glass for you- random!) They had karaoke, so obviously in our half drunk state we thought it would be a great idea to join in! We did all the classics, Boys 2 Men, Backstreet Boys, Britney and Madonna haha. In the end we were singing to much and the guy kicked us off cos other people wanted to sing.
Next day we headed off to Ko Samui. Its actually hotter than anywhere we have been before but the islands around are stunning. The boat ride from the mainland to the island was brillaint because it went through loads of islands with deserted beaches. We are actually staying in a resort which is strange but quite nice. It has a pool and bar and the beach is appox. 5 steps away. We went into the main town that night looking for food, but we got inticed by the cheap drinks so instead we went on a bit of a pub crawl. They are loads of western people here, which to be honest I don't like, alot of them are just sex tourists but the local just seem to be used to it here. I learnt a really fun drinking game from the Americans called Flip-Cup which we all have to play when I get back. Oh and best of all we went to a Thai Lady Boy show! They are possibly the funniest things ever! They are all dressed up, and start singing and dancing to the gayest songs, but they have proper routines and its actually quite professional, except when they can't speak english and look like the are singing a completely different song! But it was all good fun, it ended with all of us doing abit of pole dancing and stumbling back to the hotel. Oh and then I went swimming but when I got back Harry had fallen asleep and locked me out! Fantastic! So first I just tried shouting and knocking. Then i tried to climb a not very stable tree and then I tried to explain to some neighbours that I was locked out and asked if I could climb round on there balcony but they were having none of it. Then i finally twigged that they would have a spare key lol! Next day went on a tour of the islands which was beautiful, did some scuba diving and swimming and had a meal on the beach in the evening. Not a bad life is it?
