This is just a short trip to see the King and Queen of Siam get married. It has given me the opportunity to use some technology that I haven't used before. I have my phone this time and while I have used it I probably wouldn't bother again. My fingers arn't dextrose enough and the letters are too small. I also have my I pad and while it is OK for typing this (except for the predictive text) there is no USB port so I have no way of putting photos until I get home ...

Our last day here and we are going to see Boom's family. That was a train ride, almost to the end of the line, then the bus then a ute. We went to a temple on the way, I don't know the name of it cos I was just following. The toilet was amazing. A room full of flowers with doors around the edge. It was by far the best toilet I have ever been into. We also did some serious shopping. I bought some shorts and a shirt. At the market we also bought dinner. There was ...

We flew from Phuket to Bangkok. It was Boom's first ever flight. She seemed to enjoy it but had trouble with her ears when we landed. She couldn't get them to pop so she had and ear ache.

It was pretty easy cos there were so many groups, the one I jumped in with was all Thai. At the main temple you have to take your shoes off. What is it wi...

I had to change rooms this morning and the new room is on the 4th floor so that means up and down the stairs all day. I was going to post a pic of the room but if you are in the room you cant get a pic, there just isn't enough space. I have to come down to the lobby to do these blogs cos there isn't enough room to put my legs over the side of the bed. There is a bed and 4 walls. So this morning, while I was waiting to swap rooms, I went for a walk up Sukhumvit Rd...
