Katie Happy birthday! Hope you are having a fantastic time! Afraid I can't send you a birthday present but how does a week long loan of Shaun, a PS3 and Metal Gear Solid sound? Katie.x.

Matt Hey, Happy Birthday! (although by the time you get it will probably be too late ) Damn! This time I missed out on the Birthday meal too, we'll have to have our own one to make them jealous when we both get back! When mum says she has tidied your bedroom you know it means she has taken everything out of where it is supposed to go and hidden it somewhere else . Anyway, see you when I get back and have a great Birthday. Matt.

dad & mum Hi Dan Happy Birthday, what a shame you missed your birthday meal, that's 3 years in a row now. Good choice though - Gosht Kata Massala, Chicken Almashriqui Balti Chicken Badami & of course Veg Dansak (sweet & sour but not hot) - would've had a 5th but we wouldn't have been able to finish it all without you, we did order a Keema Naan as we know how much you enjoy them. I've been following your blogs closely and I'm so jealous I've pretended you were in Coventry, left it to Mum to do the messages on the blog. We've tried to phone you this morning and will try again later. Have a brilliant birthday. Oh by the way mum's tidied up your bedroom as a Birthday present and given it a good spring clean - she was a bit shocked by the mags under the bed- she was really disappointed, she expected far more excitement when she read the tile was Final Fantasy. I'm really impressed by those arty elephants and that blindfolded boxing does give a good excuse for having a pop at the ref. Mum can't wait now for you to get back. See you soon. Love but no XXX Dad

Matt Hey, I went home last weekend because I had a long weekend, thanks for the shirt . I was considering waiting to open it when you got back then it didnt really happen. Lots of pictures this time , some bizarre things that I thought i'd never see. Mainly the elephants doing painting and playing football but blindfold boxing sounds hilarious (sounds like it is off Takeshi's Castle lol). Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels and i'll see you when we both get back, Matt.

Jamie Pics look great, its funny seeing you at the same places i was and you discovering what i did about asia. There is boarder control between thailand and Loas but not at every crossing, which seems pointless to me...

mum Your village tribe stay sounds wonderful! do you think i could take it without too much wingeing about no shower. best be honest for dad's sake! your photos of diving look amazing as well. keep having a fab time love you loads mum xxx

Katie Hello, Haven't posted in a while but rest assured I have been keeping up to date with your travels and yes...I am still jealous. Glad you're enjoying Thailand, Tuk Tuks are great fun :) Thai curry is good too. In other news, I got the job I went for at Shauns old school which means that 30 poor children will be stuck with little old me in September...Muhahaha! Hope that you carry on enjoying Thailand, Katie.xx.

Jamie I received your present yesterday, thanks, it was nice of you to think of me while you were swimming with crocodiles and petting sharks... Glad the intrepid trip got off to a good start and that you are discovering all the thing that made me love Thailand/Asia (watch out for the extra crazy tuctuc drivers who race each other, the slowest race on earth). Take care jungle Jim

Tricia Takanawa Sounds like you are still having a ball, good cos otherwise i might have given you a virtual slap. Good to hear you are going to do an Intrepid trip, hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed mine. You should have time to update your blog etc as there are period where you can wonder off. Enjoy Thailand, its mad!

leila sorry, jon kicked bo off computer as he was taking a long time, he wanted to say he loved the photos of the crocodiles and thought you were mad for doing the bungee jump (which occy put on repeat for 10 mins and loved) and loved the flying video!! ps: occy wanted to know if it was you the crocodile nearly ate!! We cant remember when you get back this month but if your back for the 10th may we have a cowboy (grown up) party, if you around and ask nicely jon might swap and let you go as the cowgirl :0)

bodhi To dan I have ben watching ben ten.At school I have been playing.

Benjamin Hello mate, sorry I haven't written in a while, been so busy! but i have kept a keen eye on what you have been up to, by the time i have regained conciousness from my jelously my fingers wont work to type. Went on a cruise ship the other day and they had a massive climbing wall on the top of the boat, you would have loved it! can't wait for you to come back it will be great to have you around again. Oh yeah, I bought Mario Kart for the Wii! Continue having fun mate, take care :D
