... s service industry and structure is absolutely wonderful, in my opinion. In all of Thailand, it is customary for the bill to include a 10% service charge. This means if you are served a $3.00 beer by the pool, or have a full gourmet meal in the city, the tip is always included. Hotel rates many times include this, to keep you from tipping bellmen, getting a towel delivered to your room, someone calling a cab for you, etc. To tip beyond that is basically ...

... the worm, which was utterly disgusting, and apparently I made lots of funny faces because next thing I know, other tourists have started taking pictures of ME eating the bugs... In the end, I had to buy a beer from another street vendor in order to wash down the gross worm taste...

The next day, I went to the big Chatuchak Weekend Market with another couple of guys from the hostel (Norwegian & German... so many Europeans in Thailand ...

... les repas sur la plage coûtent 1Euro. Entre 2 bières dans mon hamac, j'ai pris un bateau pour aller visiter les îles alentours et faire un peu de snorkeling. En moins d'une demi-heure on accédait à des lagons et à des plages de cartes postales avec comme décor de fond les falaises des îlots karstiques. Ce n'était encore que la basse saison touristique donc j'étais relativement tranquille. Comme en Jordanie j'ai nagé au milieu de poissons bariolés mais le petit plus ici ...

... up and we were washed out into the downpour. After this we bought umbrellas and it hasn’t rained a drop since!

We can’t finish writing about our time in Bangkok without mentioning a couple we met, Pete and Veronika, and Beer Chang! We randomly met Pete and Veronika whilst walking down to the Khao San Road for dinner. They had arrived in Bangkok that evening to start their own travelling adventure and it wasn’t long before found ourselves ...

... this---TRIED TO KISS ME ON THE LIPS. I pulled back, and said uhh, NO....oh, just a friendly kiss, he said. To which I said NO, and got off at the next floor. I could hear him saying "Where you stay?? Which room??" to me as I left. Sorry, I draw the line at that--ICK. I was grossed out for a couple of hours after that, and slightly paranoid. Every time I saw someone wearing a turban, I was sure it was him stalking me.

... It’s all a mystery. Mama went away and left her but has returned. It’s unclear whether she knows where she is. We have news that the school is ready to take her back but as we can’t find her we can’t tell her the good news. We are quite worried for her.

The owner of Kantiang Bay View Resort wants to help her too. He would like to build her a hut on his property and give her the support she needs, this is something he has done with others who have ...

1.30am, alarm sounds (not nice!) quick shower, journey to school for the first group meeting. There we met the lovely Keith Hudson our coach driver to Heathrow.

At 6.30am we met two more members of the group ...

Nattbuss fra Krabi til Bangkok - Fra Bangkok til Chiang Mai = 24 timer på buss!

Nattbussen til Bangkok
Vi sto opp, dro inn til byen å spiste frokost på cafe, og henta klærne være på vaskeriet. En lastebil hentet oss halv 4, og kjørt oss til nattbussen som skulle til Bangkok. Nattbussen gikk kl.16:45 og brukte 11 - 12 timer inkl. pauser. Og etter den ene dopausa så hadde jeg faktisk en bille i bh'en når jeg satte meg på bussen! Sov sånn ...

... its side. The road was smooth and there were clearly marked lanes that the drivers (all cars and motorbikes) kept to. This fact is not particularly impressive but for us at the time, fresh from Indian road chaos, it seemed immaculately well-ordered.

We had selected a guesthouse at random from the guidebook (having lost a precious piece of paper with a recommended guesthouse written on it, given to us by Gill, an Australian girl we had made friends with in the ...
