well ive just left paradise!! koh loa noi was just gorgoues. its a tiny island with hardly anybody on it so it didnt feel tourisity. we stayed in little beach huts within view of the beach. it was what i expected of the real thailand. now were at phuket and its full of tourists, its busy and hectic and im not keen on it!! the beach has rows ansd rows of sunlounges that you have to pay to use. everything here is more expensive and you feel ripped off compared to were weve been before. im still sunburnt and feel hot in this heat so thats not helping!! we stopped of at a gibbon sanctuary on the way to hotel which was nice, the evil thais shoot the mother to get hold of the babies wrapped around there bodies to then use as tourist attractions... anyway ive just booked a full days island tour of phi phi tomorrow which should be good. i think it includes going to were the 'beach' was filmed and maybe the james bond film.

im starting to miss food too, its rice rice all the way here, gimme some potoatoes and veg or beans on toast with a proper cuppa tea,,,,................ yum yum

my next stop is kuala lumpur which im looking forward too, than onto borneo which im really looking forward too.... xxxxxxxxx
