I'm glad you are coming home cause I think just about everyone is fed up of me moaning about how much I miss you and how home sucks big time without u!! not sure if you have any work plans when u get back but i have a plan up my sleeve that may be of interest to you...we will discuss at a later date haha. anyway dude, safe flight home, thanks for keeping this site going, its been so great to follow everything you have been up to even if it did make me insanely jealous most of the time!! hopefully next time we talk will be face to face and i can hardly wait, and in the most unpatronisingly way possible I'm so proud to have such an amazingly independent and well travelled best mate, love ya dude x x x

PS: I have just read your final message and have a few complaints to make. I am not on any of the best experiences you have had OR the best days OR the things you have missed. For that reason I no longer miss you! PPS: You have spelt fijian wrong and definitely as well!!! so there!!

Hey darling,
Just a quick note to say that I can't wait to see you, its all very exciting!!I'm currently at work, listening to the sound of the photocopier and generally being hot in my cheap dorothy perkins suit, so I'll be very pleased when your back and i can stop being jealous!! Speak soon. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hey dude, cheers for all the tips, I'm well aware of the visa thing, mine expires the day I fly out so its not a problem. basically just used Chiang Mai as a place to relax but spent many hours at the night bezar with all the markets and seen the elephants and some thai boxing but its been pretty uneventful. Got hours to waste before my over night train to Bangkok so I'm going for another massage in a moment then gonna sit in my favourite bar here and read until my train comes, with lots of cans of lemon ice tea coz I'm now addicted.

Writing my very last post for my trip so be sure to check it out

Miss you all but going to see you very soon

So excited xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just had a thought, your probably already aware of this and dont think you will be but if your in thailand for more than a month you have to renew your visa, not sure if you have been or not, but i guess Burma is the closest border to you at the moment. anyway just thought id say as its expensive if you forget, as did one of my friends haha!! x x x

Hey dude, just read a post of yours, thought back to what i did in chang mai...they have really great night markets to walk round, and thai massages are so cheap there, i liked the foot massages the best!! other than that if your not going trekking it can be a bit dull i guess. Have you been on the elephant tours yet? also if in doubt just go the extra few hours to Pai (my fav place in thailand) its cheap and a great little village to just chill out in, just quiet bars etc. anyway hope you come up with something fun to do! i went to MBK aswell, make sure you go rite to the top level, thats where all the diesel jeans are haha. speak soon dude... 4 days to go (not thats im counting!) x x x

hello everyone,

Yep, it looks like I'm coming home! My flight gets in on 27th July so I've got under a week left in thailand which I'm a bit sad about. Definately going to come back to see more here when I've worked hard again but very much looking forward to seeing you lot aswell. Got 16 and a half hours of flying coz I still have to go via Singapore and a 2 our stopover but hopefull I'll be fresh enough to see you all next week. How exciting xxx

It's true Jack does at actually have a fan club! theres these girls that stand there and point in his direction and giggle in a really annoying girly way, i swear we never did anythinglike that?!! anyway hungout with Charlotte Hopson again last week, errr Michelle broke up with Mark or whatever his name was and Chantel is 7 months prega's!! for real! so strange, but meeting her again tonite so maybe ill have some more goss for u next week!! think Jack will be here soon so going down to morrison's to get smacohol, missing ya dude A LOT A LOT A LOT! X X X

hey guys

In Bangkok with my 2 mates, they've been here 10 times each so they know it really well which is cool and they're taking me everywhere. Havn't done too much yet, just looked around yesterday, took a river boat, saw Ko san road and went to the cinema in the fancy shopping centre with some of their friends. Went out last night and decided that I really like Bangkok a lot despite what everyone has told me and warned me. It definately helps having been in Thailand a while before you come here but I'm having a great time. Off to the travel agent now to sort out tickets so I may be home sooner than you think... Love you lots, bye for now xxx
