Hi Everyone

Well here we are at Hua Hin. The hotel is very very nice. Like a very big Spa.

We left Bangkok by Taxi this morning at about 10am. It is the best way to travel. Only cost about 2500 baht, which is about $90. Our taxi driver was called Prahn. He was lots of fun, and only spoke a little english. He took great delight in teaching us some Thai and helping us to pronounce it. On the way to Hua Hin we stopped off at the Floating Markets. It is basically lots of canals that the locals live on and they sell their wares. Very large, we were quite surprised. They take you on a long tail boat. We only spent about 1:15min in their but i think you could stay all day. We have seen lots of markets however. We did stop at a coconut sugar farm. They get the sap from the coconut flower and boil it until it turns into fudge. They use it for coffee, tea and also eating. Tastes good.

After the Floating Market we headed to Hua Hin. The Hotel is amzing. Done in a Thai style, large spaces, lots of wood, water inside and out. The beach is at the door. When you go to the beach it is full of deck chairs and resturants with the tables in the water. One thing we noticed was there were lots of older fat tourists hanging around with beautiful Thai ladies..............

This arvo all we have done is have a loll in the pool and play a little Pool. 5:30pm is happy hour for cocktails, only 100 baht. So Geo and i had a Pina Colada and Cal had a Mocktail. Shane went for the local beer - Singha.

Well Geo has gone to have a bath, then it is dinner time. Maybe look at the night markets, depends on how we feel, probably just laze around in the rrom and watch a movie.

Will put more on tomorrow as Shane is about to pop the photos and i know how you all like looking at the pictures.

see ya

Janie, Shane, Geo and Cal
