Hello from thailand!! Thank you again for my messages. Especially dan!! x

The last nearly two weeks have been great. Only two islands (well at another today) so was able to unpack my stuff for the first time since arriving. so nice!!

Was a nightmare getting to the first island though. 6 forms of transport/ 12 hours!! including a open top pick up truck lol. The coach was that over booked i had to sit on a seat with 3 people and 3 rucksacks with my knees by my head for 3 hours. Funny looking back now, but it wasnt at the time. All thai transport is like that though.

I stayed at Smile beach in Koh phagan for 5 nights.Lovely little hut with a hammock and everything.next to a gorgeous beach! The island is lovely. So chilled out, untill the full moon party. spent the days lazing round drinking cocktails and eating! Walked alot to different beaches. all gorgeous! Met a girls here called sian who im gonna go round oz with. Shes just like me lol!!!

Then full moon party night. Everyone drinks buckets on the beach and 20.000 people dance like crazy all night. Loved it so much!!It was just so crazy, people everywhere. We painted our selves in UV paint too, which is still all over my clothes now! met some lovely people too. Thats the good thing about travelling, you meet people you wouldnt usually meet!

We then travelled to Koh TAo in the rain!! Joined Buddha view dive school. My favourite place so far by far! I will definatly be going back. I did my open water scuba diving. The instructor james was great fun! We had to dive in the pool first which turned bits of my hair green, so i now have green and ginger hair lol!! Then we went into the sea! Amazing, saw sharks, baracudas, puffer fish. and a killer fish (well now quite) called a red stripped wrasse kept following me and showing me his teeth! The day beofre a 10 foot whale shark had been spotted but i didnt see it! :(

We had to take our mask off underwater and put sunglasses on, and do flips off the boat with our tank on. it was so scary but fun! i wanted to stay and do my advanced course, but i cant afford it this time. i will go back though!

At nights in koh tao we would have bbq's on the beach and chill out watching films. Then a couple of nights went to Sai ree beach. which is great fun. On our final night i confinced everyone in choppers to dance on the tables it was so funny!! Loved it. Then had more parties on the beach, with more buckets! Met more lovely people!

The beaches in Koh Tao are the best, and shark bay has reef sharks you can snorkel with really near the shore! I was so gutted leaving. I arrived in Koh samui today. Its raining!!! This place is a bit like blackpool again, but i ll explore tomrrow and see if i can find some better places here.

Head to malaysia in a couple of days, i really dont want to leave thailand, but im sure malaysia will be just as good.

Take care everyone. Miss you. Love you.
