Hello to all
Much has happened since our last exchange of words. Kris and i went on an elephant tour and WERE RIPPED OFF!! We paid all our tours in advance...or so we had thought. We rode the mammoth beasts, which are beautifull and kris even rode on the head of one (he told me to make sure i informed u all of his obvious bravery). Once the elephant trek was over we went to continue the tour...only to be advised that we owed the 1400 baht?? After some arguing that we'd already paid, kris and i gave up the rest of the tour activities that we had planned with the company and went home, paying 1400 baht (around $60)!!
FRIDAY - We miss our plane to Cambodia due to the protesters blocking and bombarding the airport. They've been protesting for 5 days now and no one is comming into or out of the country. We're currently stuck in Puket untill this anti-gov protest resolves. We've re-booked a flight into Cambodia on Monday but K and i have decided that if nothing resolves by tomorrow day we'll book a 10hr bus ride into Bangkok and then catch a connecting bus to Cambodia, This'll end up taking around 20hrs but it doesn't look as though we've got much of a choice. Untill then we're just winging it, and constantly watching the news. Also we won't be getting home on the 7th as planned. Probably be home on the 11th with all this but it depends when the airports re-open. Mum, melissa and Laura, can u please tell work that I won't be home untill about the 11th? We'll keep u posted on everything. Got to go!
Love Kris and Sam. MWA oxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoox
