Sawadeeka,

Hello to you all, at preent we are in Thailand and leaving this evening for Koh Samui where we will spend a couple of days chilling before we head on to Koh Tao which will act as our base through the festive period (& the Full Moon Party).

We arrived here on Sunday 16th and met Dalsy on the Koh San Road, where he had been waiting for us for a couple of hours. Checked into a Cheap Guesthouse for the night, got cleaned up and got ready for a night out. PROBLEM!! There was an alcohol ban until midnight due to the elections so we spent the evening watching the football sober, however come 11pm the lovely staff at Gullivers caved in and started serving the Singhas. On the 17th we pretty much chilled out waiting for Beans, Monkey n Minky to arrive on the 18th.

Morning of the 18th teh guys arrived so the 3 became 6!! Spent the 18th visiting the Grand Palace and looking for the sleeping Buddha??(whoever says it is in the Grnad Palace is Lying). We also went to the Golden Mount to see Bangkok from its highest view point, the standing Buddha and as you can imagine, plenty more buddhas and pictures of the King. In the evening we planned a nice quiet one, but with Shu around it is unlikely and by end of the night we were trashed.

On the 19th we all went to the MBK to get some shopping done for the beaches, the day was pretty much spent Hustling shopkeepers and getting hustled. Lovely lady at the GoodLuck shop would be an excellent addition to any sales team in the UK! That night we chille din the guesthouse watching DVD's, Footy and playing Sh1thead!! Minky keeps losing!!

This morning we finaly managed to fulfil Beans LifeLong ambition and see the reclining (Sleeping) Buddha and after seeing him got pretty much bored by more and more buddhas!! So here we are now..waiting to make our way down to the lovely Koh Samui.....

Goodbye for now...
