We think today maybe the start of something. After a day on the beach, an evening of sunset beers was on the cards but after the first mouthful Matt knew he wasn't quite right. He didn't even finish one of his beers and went for the paracetamol instead. On a positive note, Matt invented 'The Secret, Unsuspicious Beach Piss' technique. Use your imagination.

Highlight of today. Not only do the majority of motorbikes in Thailand have no fuel gauge or speedometers but today we saw bikes with no lights, in the dark. A common way that the riders were overcoming the issue is to turn on their phone torch and hold it in their hands.

Which in English translates to "Thief....STOP STOP!!" Or his other favourite "Mai-Kap Pid-Laew-Kap" - No that's wrong. But then resorted to calling them "Sanhl...

With our rings being ready at the silver shop on the other side of the island we needed to hire a motorbike for the day so we decided to make the most of it and see the north of the island which we haven't yet made it to. We enjoyed cruising around the scenic island but on arrival at the shop, Char's ring was too big (and that's with swollen hands) so it looks like another trip back tomorrow. After the beach, a run and sunset, we headed to the night market. C...
