Yesterday on the 3rd :) we had our first real sunny day and laid on the beach all day drinking and eating fresh corn on the cob and pineapple which came to 100baht/£1.90 altogether. We met a guy that lives here on the island and originally came from England who was telling us a few tips about what to do where..

After 13 hours and 2 planes later we've finally arrived in Bangkok!..we got a cab from the airport and it took us about half an hour and only cost £7! It was probably the equivalent from heathrow into central London and I'm pretty sure that the metre In my taxi would go a lot more than that!...We then arrived at our hotel to find that we couldn't check in for another 5 hours so we thought we'd make the most of the first morning and of course our 1st stop was.......
