Mum Stanley Oh dear!!! What did you leave behind? The island sounds fantastic. You need to think about the serenity when you get crochety because you are hungry. Hope your ankle is getting stronger. Good luck on the next part of your quest. Xxx

Mum Stanley Such a shame you look really happy in the photo and then you had the unfortunate accident. Thank goodness it wasn't any more serious. You have met so many lovely people on your travels and seen some amazing things. Sounds as though you expected more at the party. Never mind. Hope the ankle is getting stronger and not causing to much discomfort. xxxx

Maureen Octopus = AMAZING!!! xxxx

Mum Stanley You never fail to amaze me. I can't believe you have tried so many different fish. They must be so fresh. Full Moon Party sounds a bit worrying, I would take great care as I am sure they will be many who over indulge with alchohol and go a bit crazy. Glad you have met up with more lovely people. Building sandcastles was always your favourite occupation and the octopus is incredibly realistic, very creative. Keep safe. xxxxx

Hannah Wow ally pally this all sounds so amazing! I'm really glad you went to Thailand! It seems like your having a fantastic time and you have seen so much :) snorkelling is well fun even though it's not flattering especially if you can do it on koh Tao! And you should defo go jet-skiing on koh samui If your there. And glad you enjoyed the cooking course! We should do a Thai feast when you come home :) miss you loads and extremely jealous! Take care of your lovely self! Xxx

Mum Stanley Your adventures just get more and more incredible. The beaches must be awesome. Snorkelling doesn't look very glamorous but I am sure you are able to see wondrous things in the sea. And good food to go with it. Keep on blogging xx

Mum Stanley When you come home you will have to make this meal for us. At last a beach to lie on. Surely not better than Dancing Ledge? Make the most of the weather and beaches. Xxx

Maureen Alice this all sounds so amazing! I've heard of that island before and its meant to be amazing, have a brilliant time. The cooking lesson sounds so good too, awesome u got a recipe book at the end! Stay safe xxxxxx

MumStanley Wow! How did you ever sleep with all that going on. At least the weather is hot so you would dry off pretty quickly. What an experience. I can't believe you accidentally arrived in the middle of an important Thai festival. The hostel sounds great. Carry on exploring.

Nicola Aw dosas are amazing! Betsy made us some once which were delicious but i am sure it was better in india. Glad youre ok. Keep blogging! Hope you love thailand as much as you have loved india! Xxx

Mum Stanley Food sounds delicious. Glad you found friendly people and you ended your time in India happily. Good luck in Thailand. Xxx

Mum Stanley The sun set is beautiful. The Ganges river must be very special for those who make it their loved ones last resting place. What I don't understand is why people would then do their washing or bathe in the same water. All faiths have their rituals. Your visit to India is now coming to an end. However you must have some wonderful memories to take with you. Next stop Bangkok xxx

Mum Stanley Your photo of the Taj Mahal is better than the picture in the Indian Restaurant we ate in last night. The place looks stunning and you must be so glad you decided to bite the bullet and go. Happy travelling.

alicestanley He son imprisoned him because he wanted to over throw him and he took the throne. So not a nice son. Hope your ok. Xxxxxxx
