hey all! so we've started our tour and met everyone. It was really awquard at first but its getting better. The first night of our tour was the last night in bangkok so we went for a thai massage with a couple from our tour who are lovely (bree and dunken). Thai massage is really good apart from the fact that we were all in the same room which gave us the giggles! but when its finished you feel like you've done and entire day of yoga! The second day we had to get up really early and went to a traditional floating market. Il get some pics on the go soon so u can see all. It was really sureal, completly different from bangkok. After that we went to a museum about the death railway and i learnt loads about what the brittist prisioners of war went through and what went on in the burma and japanese war. Then we went to go see the bridge that they built. (featured in the film bridge over the river kwai) It was absolutly baking outside and everyone was sweating buckets ... but then i thought about all the p.o.w that had to build it in these conditions which made me feel bad... so i didnt moan as much! After that we went on a sleeper train... which was really fun (apart from the toilet!) I fell asleep then 7 hours later woke up and we were there... lush! (again.. u can see pics) its the next day now and we're all checked in to little beach bunglalows in amazin settings. We're not actually on the beach but only 5 mins walk away. I can see the pic veiw from where im sitting.. intense sunshine and blue waters. mmmm tomoro we're going on a speed boat tour to lots of islands ... including phi phi which is where the beach was filmed.. ooooo cant wait. Im going to beast my camera tomoro! ps thankyou for all your messages!! xxx
