We've made lots of plans but have time to fit in extra visits too. Not too sure how this blog works but if you get this message and you can read it all, or maybe more importantly if you can't read it all, please let me know. I've put some links in to show you where we are going and staying so let me know if they follow ok. So for now this is what we have planned.

Leaving Manchester on Wednesday 7th Jan headed for Bangkok. We've booked our first 3 nights at the Uma Residence which is a quite a new hotel follow the link for further info http://www.umaresidence.com/about.html (this link is really slow to load)

Then we have some free days in Bangkok when we will arrange some trips to the Bridge over the River Kwai, Tiger Temple (see Daisy on the tiger? - hope I'm brave enough to do that) and visit the floating market.

On the 17th to 29th Jan, we go on our 2 week trip to Cambodia http://g.statravel.co.uk/trips/ultimate-cambodian-adventure/ATUC/2015/ starting and finishing back in Bangkok at the Centra Central Station Bangkok. http://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/csb/csb_default.asp

31st Jan to 2nd Feb we are booked Ban's diving resort in Koh Tao http://www.bansdivingresort.com/ and plan to hop around the beaches until 7th Feb when we are booked at Fairhouse villas and spa for 3 nights http://www.fairhousesamui.com/ Haven't any specific plans then until we fly to Chang Mai for some culture!! Nothing planned from here as we don't really know how long we will spend on the islands but probably a couple of weeks in Change Mai and the golden triangle then a bit more beach then it will be time to head home! Where does 8 weeks go?

Please let me know what you can or can't read so we can adjust it and make it better when we are away

Thanks Jean & Sam xx
