After leaving the white sandy beaches and 29 C waters behing for the bright lights of Bangkok, i wasn't sure if to look forward from chilling on the beach with a cold 1 and the only traffic is the local fisherman to attempting to cross a road for 15 mins covering my nose with the fumes ???????, we spent 4 days on Koa Tao where i done some diving @Chumpon pinnacles and seen loads of reef sharks, some about 3 metres also, the island is getting pretty busy now but still has beaches and bays to chill in peace or on the other hand sink gallons of Chang beer and rock the night away, we arrived on the island just as the full moon party was ending on Ko Pha-Ngan island over from us, these peops where messy !!!!, the party was meant to be a blast also, i wish we have gone to it but we where a day late - , Koh tao is a nice place to visit and probably the last one we visit before flying home (maybe ?????), we also seen a tranny show on the island and man i was shocked, some totally looked like blokes but others could slip the net id say, chang beer is 7% and sinking a few could add a few female extra's in a drunken mind, so the show was a bit funky and i was pulled up on the stage and danced with (taking the piss more like) i was stunned !!!!!, the one who pulled me up totally looked like a dude which didn't help the situation, bulge in a thong id my idea of hot lol, atleast i can say iv seen them now, maybe a ping-pong show is next who knows ?, we left the island the next day after my diving and arrived at the station hoping to get onwards to Bangkok, we left it a bit late and the seats available where 3rd class with a fan, its the cheapest option - our only option at this time, normally a sleeper is a good option for the 9-10 hour train-trek but we thought lets just hop on now and get there asap, the train set off around 8pm and the seats we where allocated where turd, 3rd class seating aint what you'd call comfort, we sat with a few locals who where sound, infront was a few old boys sipping whisky n having a giggle, i have to say my ass was numb just 1 hour into the trek, ellie wasn't to into the situation either, the way i looked at it was its the way the locals travel so as in rome do as the romans do ?, i think i had about 10 mini-naps before we rolled into Bangkok around 5am-ish, we where both ratty as and looking for a snooze-palace, we just checked into the 1st place and snoozed away for the rest of the morning.

Our 1st day in Bangkok was a busy 1, we wanted to see the famous Th Khao san road with all its glory, the story's we heard about the place, its just 1 big shopping street with loads of pubs and food stalls, its ok thou, loads of cheap gear, all real names ofcourse ????, i think im gonna spend a few bucks here before i leave, the rest of our day we took a boat ride up river and seen some of the quality temples around the city, tomorrow were gonna walk around them all, well most, then i wanna see a Muay thai fight @ the stadium near our hostel, so guys its almost home time for us and im looking forward to seeing you all back home then saving for my next trip - England in Europe next summer, im gonna change my flight if i can to 14th November, its the lastest day i can change it to before having to buy another flight, so dont really wanna folk out more wonga, ellie is gonna fly home in 2 weeks then me a bit later but will just wait and see, i really wanna do Cambodia before flying home, i might have to start thinking about work hey ??? - no i think i will start that when i land in London, good to see peop's are still reading my blogs and checking my pics, were hoping to work with elephants next week for a few days, thses are stunning creatures and this oppertunity will be amazing so hopefully we will be allowed, watch this space !!!!!
