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...

Dear all, hope that you are all still alive and well and not been frozen to death at home!?!?!? (Hee hee!) I hear that there has been snow - yay! We are all gradually roasting to death out here - the temperature keeps rising and it's getting harder and harder to keep cool. Most of the time it's not too bad but at school it's rather tricky to stay fresh when surrounded by 30 hot little 4 year olds! The party last Friday for the girls' birthdays went w...

Sawasdee! (That's hello in Thai for the uninitiated amongst you!) Hope this postcard finds you all well? I can't remember when I last wrote one of these postcards so if I repeat myself, I'm sorry!

We had heard that there was an underwater festival happening so we thoug...

Afternoon all! Just a quick message today as I hope to put some more piccies on the site for your viewing pleasure and I think that it may take some time! Had an ok weekend - Friday night really was a quiet one! Had to get up at 5.30am for the trip to Angthong Marine Park - it was a great day but absolutely knackering! I remembered it when I got there - and how beautiful it was. We did a huge trek up a massive hill (having to pull ourselves up by rop...

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been in touch much this week but I've been far too busy having lots of fun! It's as simple as that! When I sent my last postcard I was in a foul mood over the biking 10k for no parcel incident and was getting excited about going out in Haad Rin that night. That weekend turned out to be one of the best I've had since I've been here! Where to start!?!? Well, we went out in Haad Rin as planned and met all manner of random people in...
