Hi all

well the name of the place i stayed in was called Ayutthaya was really pretty, i got a tuk tuk and the driver took me all over town to see lots of different temples, one of them looked like Ankor Wat. it was a very hot day and it seemed that all of the schools were on a trip visiting the temples as well as there were school children everywhere, a convoy of busses arrived at on temple and there were 10 coaches all full of children.

Well some of the temples were ruins like the one that looked like ankor wat and others were in really good condition, the one that was in the best condition was a rememorial to the frist king and had statues of chickens all around it, apparently the king of thailand and the king of burma settles a war by fighting chickens instead of using there army.

the trip lasted the whole of the morning so once i returned i wondered aroung the town there was a huge food market selling everything from chickens to fruit. all looked really nice. that night it rain again so wasnt able to go far for dinner but it was nice.

well back to bangkok now saturday i get back in to town about 2ish and go straight t kosan road where i get aa hotel and off for a walk kosan is like no where i have been before there is everything and its all crazy.

Sunday and i go on the boat down the river and then to the huge weekend market and china town lots of walking last nihgt in bangkok as going to leave monday night but i have a head acke so decide to watch a film but was really bad so didnt bother in the end. Monday finaly i can pick up my visa for india, have to drop off my passport in the morning then pick it up in the evening how much fuss. well after running down the road i manage to make it to the office with 55mins to spare hand in my pasport and head to aircon to cool down, WWhat to do now well i went to the cinema and saw get smart was really funny not many people watching it and the seats were recling so comfortabel only one problems popcorn was horriable tastes bad. but was a good film, by the time the film finished and i had had lunch i headed back to pick up my passport on the way stopping off at the emarites office to pay for the change in flight i made more money and to make the day better i find out that the insurance claim that i put in about the items of mine that were stole was rejected and they arent going to replace them so angry letter going to them as soon as.

No problems picking up passport so off to train station to get train ticket to Trang leaves at 6.20pm arrives 10.20am next day so have a bed on the train so i go back to hotel pick up my bags get some food for the journey and back to the train station well sitting down some reason i got it in to my head that the train left and 6.40 so sitting aiting just happen to look at the ticket and realise the actual time that the train was ment to leave 6.20 and the time then 6.18 so pick up bag run through the station find the right platform and jump on the train and i get up the steps the train starts moving how lucky was that i walk down the carriage to find my bed at last dump my bags and relax. behind me are 2 irish lads and 1 english so spend the night talkign to them. really hard to sleep on the train as they leave th lights on all night and right above my head and its quite noisy but in the end i do manage to sleep a bit. typical the train it llate and the others are getting off at a different stopp so they get off at 7is and i stay on the train till about 12ish long trip only 2hrs late. i ahve managed to find a nice place to stay so after having a shower and a sleep i went for a walk and found this internet place and here i am.

not sure what to do next there doesnt seem to be much in this town so might go on to the next one, have to be out the country by 30th as my visa runs out so might go straight to Malaysia and then maybe sumatra an indonisian island but not decided yet we will see..

well better go have to write angry letter too insurance people speak to you all soon

lots of love

Leanne
