Well i do not know where to start. So from my last update Mandi and I met up with the other group in Bangkok and on the first night went clubbing in Ko San Road which was really cool. Everyone in the group were nice people and friendly. So next day we were a bit hung over so jusat walked around Bangkok and went to the river. That evening we all got an overnight train to Surat Thani which was really cool as they had a disco carriage and kareokee and i actually sang Aerosmith...not very well!!! . From Surat thani we went to Ko Sok national park which was fantastic. very peacefull and the oldest rainforest in the World!! We had a room hut right by the river and was fantastic. We also went elephant treking which was cool. Next we travelled down to Krabbe where we went island hopping and snorkling. This was pretty amazing as there were so many tropical fish right there in front of you and swimming around you.Also visited the area and walked along the beach where they filmed The Beach with Leonardo Di caprio...by the way this was all around Ko phi phi Island!!!. From Krabbe we went into Malaysia and a play called Penang. This was a good place and went on a tour and up a train to the top which had great views of Penang. We then went to Kula Lumpur which was amazing, went up the Pratonas Towers and got great views also a little shopping where i got myself a PSP!!! From there we went onto Melaca which was a really cool place and had a tour by Tuk-Tuk!!! From there we arrived in Singapore which is one of the cleanest palces i've ever been too. Went on a river boat cruise to see the sights. On our last night went to the Ministry of Sound with the other group and did not get in until 430am. Mandi then flew home on the sunday 28th Jan which was really sad and i flew to Phuket in Thailand yesterday where i am going to chill for a while after all the touring. Stayed on a beach island last night and am back on mainland Phuket today. I could go into a lot my detail as to what i have done but have got writers cramp already so will sign off for now and will update you again in due course. I have about two and a half weeks left in Thailand and will be flying to Toyko on the 16th February to see my cousin.

Bye for now
