Flying Spiders

Arrived in Thailand, to humid, busy Bangkok. Me and Briony were suprised at how un-hassled we were by street venders, commenting that Turkey is much worse. Which was true until Tom arrived and suddenly every man and his dog wanted us to use his tuk tuk or come to his bloody taylor. They must have seen his friendly face and knew he would stop and listen, unlike me and Brionys "piss off" faces. So we spent quite a lot of time standing on street corners waiting for them to off load their problems or latest fake t-shirt to him.

We decided as we were in Bangkok that we should go to a ping pong show, you have to really dont you? Yep they manage to stick a lot up there thats for sure, and one part of it was basically live sex on stage, where I spotted a lot of pink faces english guys rushing out with their hands firmly in their pockets. I think we were all a bit disturbed, or at least pretended to be :)

We spent 2 nights in Kho phangan, where we rented a jeep to get round the island. Now in Kho Samui, where our bungalow is right on the beach. Iv never been in such warm sea before, its more like bath temperature until your in the deep bit.

For a minute there I thought you'd been really naive and thought that you were really going to see some ping pong.

I know thats what Tom thought when i asked if he wanted to go. Saying "you do know what that is dont you" do you really think its bad? We did feel abit gross afterwards
