Chaweng Beach Hotel

... so on, and yet I still couldn't really remember most of them. It is clear to me now that travelling is much more than going to a spot, stay in a hotel, walking around, and perhaps get drunk in some occasion. Probably we all do that because we are framed to do so by the torism organisation of that particular country. Just like if you come to Thailand, you will have to go to Phuket, and Chaing Mai. It is nothing wrong with that if you love that life style ...

... in his slightly open hand - an eighth of weed! Obviously I never touch the stuff and wouldn't have anyway in case he whipped out a Thai police ID and I'd be calling home from the Bangkok Hilton!<br><br>We decided to have another few drinks after some sticky rice for tea. Tried Jimmy Hendrix bar and Solo Bar. Not much to report (I keep telling you, wait till Koh Tao), apart from this bloke in Solo Bar toilets, who got out a cold flannel to put around your neck, and we ...

... I'm pleased to report that we took the house to cleaners. 15 or so drinks for the price of three, we left Tok's halfway ********d, stopping only to console the weeping barman who would surely lose his job. To be fair, he probably deserves it. The poor chap hadn't fully cottoned onto the concept of a coin toss, and left the coin on the table for a second or two before covering it. I feel this might have had something to do with our success. Anyway, we headed ...

... city + it was peak traffic time. Had a few beers on the train with a couple of kiwi's before lights out. 6/12/2008 Got woken up by the guard about 6am, to tell us our stop was next. Handy alarm! From Surat Thani station we got a bus link to Don Sak. Fell asleep again it took so long. The driver was in no hurry. At Don Sak we took the express ferry over to the island of Koh Samui. This was one of the roughest journeys ever ...

... dinner. I noticed there're many western men with young Thai girls here. This doesn't sound too weird for Thailand but the sheer quality was what made it a little bit strange. Seemed to me that the guys may pick-up the girls in Bangkok and head for the beach as this is closest resort to the capital. Maybe wrong, just a guess on my part. Day 99 - 31/05/08 Had another ride around the island on the scooter this morning. Found a nice beach and ...

After being picked up at the hotel and taken from shop to shop in taxis, we finally arrived at the pier 70km out of Surat Thani to cath the ferry to Ko Samui. On the way we met a couple, Lewis and Jo from Wimbledon, who had been before and were going to the same area as us, so we all jumped in a tuk-tuk in Samui and headed for Mae Nam which is a quiet ...

... Aunt Suzie -- In class we had to tell something unusual about a relative. I told the class how my aunts and uncle sang the Happy Days song. All of them went wild. We then had to sing the song. Pretty funny!! I sounded terrible but there were a few who sounded worse. I didn't get the Roshay music gene. Cheerio -- I miss and love you. P.S. I discovered that I like seaweed potatoe chips. I have passed on the deep fried worms. I'm not brave enough.

Saturday I packed my bags and sold my bike..Katie and I headed to the big city of Bangkok in hope to find a new beginnings and a job! . Sunday We decided that we were going to take sometime off from worrying about what is next. We wanted to enjoy the fact that we just finish a course, which was a lot of hard work. Since it was Katie's first time in Bangkok we thought we would see the sights. We were getting ready to try and figure out what to see and where to go ...

... dress code. I did not pack well for teaching, this is why this king shirt will soon became my favorite shirt( taking me back to my days or wearing a uniform at St. Justins) Wednesday I was starting to get a feel for how the course is going to work. It is a lot of hard work but I am learning a lot.The days are long but the information is very useful in the classroom. After school my friend Katie and I decide to buy bikes! She is also doing the rural ...
