Hello Again, Ok to put you all up to date.I stayed in Phuket until the 10th Feb, I stayed at a hotel in Karon Beach which is near to Kata Beach and not far from Patong Beach. I have visited all three beaches and they are all very nice and therefore have just been doing alot of nothing...sunbathing, eating, drinking and managed to watch a bit of footie aswell, although the merseyside derby was an anti-climax at 0-0. Anyway got a little bit bored of Phuket so decided to fly to Ko Samui on the othersie of Thailand and an own Island. Flew there yesterday..ie Saturday and am staying in Lamai Beach area. The accododation is right on the beach....however the weather is not as it was in Phuket and you will be pleased to know that it has been overcast and have had some rain!!!! although the temperature is still in the high 80s so at least its better than jolly old England. So today because of the weather i hired a car and have been travelling around the area. They drive on the left so has felt home from home and they are a little bit more sensible than those Indian fellows back in Mumbai. I,m hear until wednesday the 14th when i am flying back to Bangkok as i am flying from there on the 16th Feb to see my cousin john in Toyko, Japan!!!! Am really looking forward to that and to see what Toyko is like. Will let you all know how i got on in my next update. I'm in Japon only for one week when i will be flying to Cairns in Aussieland and will be starting a tour with a group of people from there down to Sydney which will last two weeks. Not much else to say at this time exept that i am very chilled and relaxed at the moment but not to happy with Liverpools form as have just found out that they lost yesterday!!!!!

Bye for now and Take care

Jim
