I'll update this properly when / if I have lots of time!
Tuesday
Looked round massive shopping centre - ate lots of bread / pastries in this rather cool shop!
Took sky train and then boat trip back to hostel area. Walked around the area a bit and checked out a little local temple.
Wednesday
Got up VERY early to see barefooted monks recieve food in their alms bowls. I saw a couple, but we were there far too early, and went back to the hostel (Pete n Amy had breakfast n went back, but I went to sleep...
Went to the Grand Palace and saw many local temples in the area.
Had lunch n slept a bit.
Went to see Ladyboys in a cabaret - raaather odd!
Thursday
Took bus to Aruthaya - Got tuk-tuk driver for the day to take us round... Saw the temples there - one was big n white and one was ruined n burned...
Had more food n chilled out for a bit...
Went to see ping-pong in the evening! Whistles, razors, hankies, flowers, cigarrettes, drunk water, opened bottle, pingpong balls into a glass etc...
Friday
Chilled out n went to get SAM! Pete was gonna stay with us to meet him, but Sam was late due to arrivals business, and Pete had to run off to get his flight...
Chatted to two randomers in the Shanti Lodge for ages, before going to bed in the dorm room of death! Unbearably hot... Sam n Amy were in a private double room with aircon. ~_~
Saturday
Met all the Intrepid people, went for a meal with them, went to a bar in a petrol station (very cool place, had phat soundsystems n everything!)
Then went to a club called Gullivers where some thai girls kept giving me their hats, and I danced slightly... also everyone on Intrepid left apart from myself and Natasha! After spending quite a while there, we headed on to another club! We were with 2 American guys (one was a scary dancer), Jane from NZ, and three friendly thai girls.
Next place was really cool, with a relatively quiet chill-out area (had apple sheesha) and a dancin bit as well... Met a Tiny Thai there who was called sommt like Bee or Abby or something... Fun taims were had ;-)
Sunday
Dossed around, did internet, got the sleeper train in the evening (verrrry hot!)
Monday
Arrived and took a truck to Khao Sok National Park.
Did tubing (floating down a river on a rubber ring!) very fun n chilled out :) After, we saw some monkeys at a cave-temple, and fed them! Kl stuff!
Went back to the place we were staying n stayed up late drinking too much!
Tuesday
Felt pretty poor as a result of teh alcohol, but I went on a jungle-trek with everyone else anyway... After that a bunch of us went to a river and played cards for ages, before heading back to a reggae bar near where we were staying for a BBQ Buffet kinda meal!
Started raining amazingly hard and we all had to run back to our rooms!
Wednesday
Took a minivan to Ao Nang, near Krabi.
We had some food and tried to go to the beach, at which point the weather went a bit crazy (huge amounts of wind n rain) so we dashed back to the hostel...
After a bit the weather calmed down, so we went back to the beach n had fun for a bit just splashing around!
Met up with all Intrepid people and went for a good cheap meal. Served by a ladyboy, lol!
Thursday
Took a massive snorkling trip for the day on a speedboat, visiting lots of really nice secluded beaches and diving spots. Everyone on the Intrepid tour went, which was rather nice! Got a bit sunburnt, but nothin too drastic! We saw the beach from the film "THE BEACH" but I've never seen it, so I wasnt too botherd... Look forward to seeing it when I get home, to see if I recognise it!
