Have just spent the last two and a half weeks in Thailand. So far, my favourite places are Chiang Mai and Koh Tao. I liked Krabi but the weather was crap and I didn’t really get to see the best of it I think. We’ll go back again when it’s not monsoon season and hopefully get to see more of it.

At the moment I’m sitting in an internet café, but I’m having to type this in word as the internet it currently down. Hopefully not for long or I will have to save this to a usb drive or something…

It’s my birthday today. Doesn’t feel much like it. I am a bit sad and homesick today, but only because I usually spend my birthday with my family and I’m going to miss that… However, I get to see one of my best friends for a few days who lives here and that’s making up for it a little bit.

We’re in Pattaya now and will be for a few more days. It’s a bit manky I must say. Too many fat old guys with young thai girls hanging around. It’s a sleazy place, but we’re only here to see Jasper so will lie low during the day and see her in the evenings as she’s still working. It’s been great to see her.

From here we go to Bangkok on Saturday, ready to fly to Malaysia on Sunday. Yay for diving and orangutan.

Better go. Can’t spend all day in an internet café! Sorry for the long delay between posts, it’s hard to do it in internet cafes….
