had main of the good time at the club we went to the other night, although when we walked in did have the massive fear it was going to be like some horrendous 18-30's contrived fun shindig! didn't help that the place was already filled with large groups of young lads, with stamps over their faces?! they turned out to be ozzie, as was most of them and quite funny actually, although horrendously battered!! was a bit disappointed as jess was promised a guns and roses trubute band, and i was promised 'party games' instead we got abba ?! but we met some nice people and had a laugh at the thai women. (who by the way give the other 99% a bad reputation they are shameless. and so are the big fat sweaty white men with them by the way. your not cool-and whilst we're on that subject we saw actual old men with young local boys aswell sick sick sick) but anyways i ended going out for a bit longer after jess went home down bangla road with some english guys we met (the first english people we've met aswell how strange) but i can't really tell you much about that because i can't really remember! its just crazy this place it really is like tenerife or malia, but with young women latching themselves on to western men, and obvious prostitutes and glamourous lady boys. very surreal.

yesterday was a bit rubbish unfortunately, when i eventually got home me and cox went for brekkie, and that was one of the times we left the room that day, the second time was for a 7-11 picnic in bed, and the third time was for dinner at the end of the road!! i won the next two competions of the trip, first alcohol induced toilet hugging, and a severe stomach problem due to drunkely stupidly drinking some tap water. so alll in all i felt like i was going to die yesterday.

today has been great though, we white water rafted. which wasn't as scary as i firtst thought it would be until someone through a giant toad in the boat. jess says she's never heard me scream like that and the instructor grabbed my life jacket as i was about to do a death dive outta the raft. seriousely it scared the hell outta me!! then we visited a water fall (again) which was also comedy as there was a group of lads from kuwait, who were like a mixture of borat and ali g. and spent the whole day strutting and showing off, and they wore speedos!! twas so offensive!! we also went quad biking (where i managed to drive mine into the tyres at the side of the track. easily done. and we rode elephants, which was, well strange, they are very slow, felt like giving them a bit of a kick
! which im sure is highly unethical. then they made us give money to the elephants, but jess wouldnt let me as we only had hundreds!!

that evening me and jess decided on getting some tattoo's done and i was rather worried as the last time jess said this she didn't actually get one and i ended up having one instead!! we found the first place that wasn't in full view of the main road, and were in at out, both of us done in two hours. the only thing now is, jess wish's hers was double the size, and there's a big space in the middle of my back which needs fillin in!! lol gues we have plenty of time though.

Am writing the end of this from where we are now, which is kamala beach, still in phuket. but you wouldn't think it its miles apart. our room is AMAZIA, we have a HUGE balcony, with a (partial!) sea view, a bath (we are getttin so lucky in our accomadation!) air con, fridge, towels, mini soaps, big tv. our rooms are ten times nicer then the hotel continental and all for 500 baht. plus unlike the others brekkie is included, so technically we are getting our accomadation for 300 baht. there are 62 baht to the pound so i'll let you work that out!!(and its for both of us) we've kinda planned our route for the last few weeks, and can't believe it has gone sooo quickly, you could easily spend months and months here.

nice to hear from everyone, will take this opputunity to apoligise for awful spelling and grammar, but my excuse is we only get an hour so its a bit hurried!!

ash and jess xxxxxx

p.s. saw a snake when we went white wafter riding it was green with yellow stripes and it was sitting in the tree right above us!!
