Got up at 7:30 after a good sleep and grabbed a very light breakfast of some small croissants and a coffee. Steve had boiled eggs, so he now has salmonella to go with his HIV, bird flu, sun burn and dodgy teeth! ;) We caught our ride to the speedboat, ... Read more >

I had a really nice curry on the beach tonight, infront of the first sunset I've seen worthy of photographing ... the local kids were playing football on the beach too, which was quite amusing to watch. I could stay here for ages, its a great place.... Read more >

Sunday, 27 Jan 2008 | Views [865] | Comments [1]

I am now getting used to this pace of life, and getting good at it. Soon I will be unable to do basic maths and remember things from yesterday (like Steve is currently ;p). I now have a scooter for a few days, which is fun. It is the best way to get ... Read more >

Went to the Rajdamnoen Stadium in Bangkok via tuktuk to see the Thai Boxing tournament on my last night in Bangkok. I had 'VIP' seats, which they basically sell to tourists, which meant I had front row seats for the event. The rough guide said it ... Read more >

Got up earlier today and went off to go to the Downtown area via the river ferry and skytrain with Chris. The river ferry was excellent, a great breeze and nice and easy to sort out, and amazing value for only 20 pence or so to go the whole length ... Read more >
