Amey and Emma's Gap Year!
Hello!!!
Just a quick journal, not much to report other than that we are nwo in Thailand!!
Arrived about 12pm last night into Bangkok, we are staying in a really nice hotel called Viengtai Hotel just off the Khao San Road. On the drive from the airport we have never seen so many lights in trees as we did! It's a massive 5-day party in Thailand until Wednesday because it is the 60th Anniversary of the succession to the thrown of the King of Thailand. Everyone is wearing yellow tshirts because when the King does his speech he will be wearing yellow. Everyone in Thailand is completely devoted to their King, its so sweet, they all have pictures and paintings of him on their houses and in their cars etc.
We are going to mostly chill out today, and then tomorrow we are going to the Grand Palace, which we are hoping will be even more spectacular than normal due to the King's Anniversary. Also we will do Wat Pow (spelling? - sorry for anyone who knows!) which has the Reclining Buddha and the Emerald Temple.
WE are catching an internal flight down to Krabi for a few nights on WEdnesday then from Krabi we go over to Phi Phi Island for maybe 5 nights (thats where The BEach was filmed!!) Then we are going to catch buses up to Ko Tao (another beautiful island) then to Hua Hin (for a bit of a socialise and nights out) then we fly home from Bangkok on 3 July!!!!!
We may not be able to get pics up particularly easily due to the standard Thai computer not exactly being tiptop but we will try and keep you all updated with journals and emails even so!!
Love to you all, see you when we get home - can't wait!!
Big Hugs. The Girlies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
