Dear All Am now back in Thailand after a little random trip to the Myanmar border! Am safe and sound in Bangkok - which, although the tremors were felt here, has escaped yesterday's earthquake. We had a weird night and it was all a bit scary for a time but thank goodness we are all ok and Thailand has now lifted its tsunami warning. We're staying right on the Khao San Road (for those of you who have seen "The Beach", that's where Leonardo DiCaprio dri...

Hello again! Well I promised that the adventures had begun - and they certainly have! It's now Easter Sunday (Happy Easter everyone!) and I have been up for bloomin' ages! We left Koh Tao last night at 11pm on the car ferry to Chumphon, on the mainland. Someone had kindly thought to throw some mattresses on the floor of the deck so that we could all have a little kip! I have no idea how but, dosed up with a few Singha beer, I had one of the best night's sl...

Hello all! Internet connections on Koh Tao have been dodgy to say the least so I just didn't bother! But here I am doing a belated postcard to keep you all updated. I think the last time I did a postcard was when we were getting ready to leave Chalok Lam. Not much happened in that last week, apart from eating dinner in all our favourite restaurants and playing stupid games with the kids! The last day at school turned into a bit of a waterfight - all the k...

Hello all! Sorry for lack of postcards lately but have been a poorly girl and not really been up to much! Managed to get an infection in my lymph glands which has made me feel really rough. Have got antibiotics now though so will hopefully feel better soon! This is our last week of school and the older kids all have exams (it's their last week of term before their long summer holiday) so we will only be teaching the littlies this week - yay! We've all...

Dear all, Can't believe another weekend has come round so fast. We only have another 2 weeks of teaching and then will be leaving Chalok Lam for Koh Tao where we will be staying for 5 days doing our PADI diving course. The dive school that we are diving with are being a bit funny (understandably so) about my asthma and therefore I have to go and see the suspiciously named "Dr M" on Koh Samui on Monday for a check up. If all is well he will give me a cert...
