Hi Guys hope you are all well... Ill finish off Bangkok by saying it was good but am glad we are out of there now we had a few good nights out but to be honest it was expensive and all you could do really was get drunk (which we did mainly) oh and catch up on the sleep. We had a good night out with a group of guys we met you will have seen them on the photos and we were doing fruit bongs they were harmless and didnt do much in my opinion i found them pretty rubbish really lol we didnt do much yesterday because we got booted out of our room at about 12 dinner time and had to travel through the night so went to a air conditioned bar and tried to stay as less sweaty as possible. The journey was ok for me but woody finds it difficult because he is tall and there isnt much leg room i tend to sleep through it lol although to be honest i didnt get to sleep until about 5am because we got talking to a kiwi couple and the guy was mad and talked loads it was good talking to them though they have told us some nice places to go to in NZ and they have given us there details so when we get there we can get in touch and they will take us to some nice places so i thought that was really nice of them.

we arrived in Krabi in the morning at about 9am but didnt get to railey the little island we are staying untill about 11 it was a right nightmare first we had to get on a mini bus then he just dumped us by the sea and told us to get on a boat. Well we didnt even realise we had to get on a boat and let me tell you i cant hardly walk with my ruksack on never mind jump onto a boat it was like bambi on ice. finally go on the boat and then dreaded how i was going to get off the thing lol we found some chaep accom and decided to head to the beach it is so beautiful honestly there are like moutains or massive rocks or something round one side and you can see the other islands from the beach like chicken island and ko phi phi and you can even see phuket. It was a good day at the beach i was nearlly crying at one point you know when you see something amasing and you cry wen you happy well it was like that lol i am a soft get i know. Well we had just got out of the sea and sat down on our towels and i saw something run past me and when i turned round and looked it was a monkey and it ran into the tree so naturally we went over to have a look and there were loads of them. The big monkeys have well massive teeth i was a little worried about them coming near me but the little ones were so cute we bought some banannas and fed them it was ace you dont get that down bradford road do ya? lol The next day we went down to the beach again it is the best way to NOT spend money lol and we were playing frisby (i am in the premiership woody is only in the league he is RUBBISH) anyway he started screaming like a girl and started legging it though the water it was so comical i was laughing my head off and so was a guy that was in the sea as well he really did look like a big girls blouse "something has biten me something has biten me" i was still laughing i said what has biten you and he was like it must be a croc or somthing it wouldnt let go lol anyway we got back onto the beach and he had the smallest scratch on his toe and he was still playing up i am bleeding it is going to get infected lol it was so funny. That night we decided to go to a local bar for a meal and i am trying the thai food you cant come here and eat english dishes so anyway i am always a bit worried of how hot it is going to be so before i order something i will ask if it is hot or not and the girl said no not hot so i said ok then i will have that. The food came and first few mouthful were fine a little hotter than i am used to but still i could bare it then i thought i would try take a mouthful of green beans and suddenly i thought my head was going to explode it was not a green bean i had just swallowed but some green chillies my head must of been getting really red because woody was saying what is wrong with you and it hurt that much i couldnt speak was just trying to tell him in hand movements that it was red hot so he got a folk full and said that isnt hot so when i finally got my mouth to calm down i said try this green bean lol he ate it and he was jsut the same his face was a picture that will teach him lol. We met another couple one from canada and the guy was from Melbourne she had moved there for a year and they had met so she has extended her visa for another year they were a nice couple and later that day we bumped into the two london guys we met in bangkok that was weird you dont expect to bump into people that you left miles and miles away so anyway we went out for our tea with them and had a few drinks in a reggae bar was ok but to be honest we were all shattered it is hard work playing frisby in the sea. Railey in all is such a beautiful place we have really enjoyed it. We both think that this place would be miles better if you were here with a partner rather than a friend it is so romantic you lose yourself in its beauty i didnt realise places like this really existed i thought when you see nice places on TV they make it look better but this place is gorgeous and i would reconmend it to anyone. Apparently this is meant to be the worst of the islands as well so if that is true then we have better to come. We are having an early night tonight because we have to be up early to catch a boat to Ko Phi Phi this is where the beach was filmed we have been told we have to go snorkle with the sharks there and apparently they dont have teeth just gums so i am certainly up for that if they cant eat me alive lol. So untill next time i hope you are all well and not too jealous lol lots of love Gem xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
