Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa Cha-am

... swimming... except there are jellyfishies everywhere, in the water and washed up on shore. Not very inviting nor comforting. There is one really annoying drawback to this place: there is a vendor every 30 seconds offering their goods, selling everything from counterfeit Izod polo shirts to cigarette lighters to silk bedspreads. <br><br>We were very far from the town of Hua Hin itself so there isn't much of a choice for dining ...

... todella lystikas juna. Ne jotka ovat menneet Viipuri-Pietari valia venalaisilla paikallisjunilla saattavat tietaa mista puhun. Puupenkit 90 asteen kulmassa seka puulattia, ikkunat auki koska ilmastointia ei tietenkaan ole, pysahdytaan jokaisella mahdollisella pikkuasemalla, myyjia kay valilla myymassa safkaa ja juomia ja paikalla kannattaa olla aikaisin jos haluaa loytaa istumapaikan. Hauskaa siis oli ja neljan tunnin matka maksoi hurjat 38 bahtia eli alle ...

... the Royal Asia, and it cost just over 10 pounds each. We went for dinner and then spent the evening in a really nice bar that did good cocktails. I had such a nice time and finished the night off with a late-night dip in the hotel's rooftop pool. Saturday 16th August We spent our morning lazing around by the pool before going to the beach for lunch. I had the best tom yam soup (a spicy coconut soup with chicken, lemongrass and galangal) I have ever had and ...

... and that I made it here and that I'm doing well here. -The friends! Most of the people who volunteer here are obviously very cool, since they're doing this in the first place, but it's so fun to go somewhere completely new and crazy and still be able to make friends, just as you would at home. If only I would be able to visit all of them, sprinkled across the world... perhaps :) -Being a part of helping all the animals that ...

... also so looking forward to that. Ok so to be honest Maya Beach "The Beach" isn't that great there are other beaches in Thailand that are just as beautiful. The camping trip to Maya wasn't the greatest and I wouldn't do it again, the snorkelling was fantastic and I saw about 5 differnet types of fish which was awesome. The meal that they served us was good, I went to bed early and everyone else stayed up and drank Buckets and got smashed and therefore talked all night long so I ...

Picking up from where we left off... we had just been told that Dada intented on leaving the orphanage at 3am to head for the beach at Cha-am. So debs and i packed up all our stuff as we wouldn't be coming back, sniff, and it was early to bed - having all placed bets on what time we actually expected to be leaving taking into account the effects of the aforementioned Thai-time! On waking just a few hours later we all seemed to get our stuff together along with ...

... to it now. i arrive at VIP later in the night from just waking. kinda a blur. some guy helps me up with my bags to room 418 on the 11 floor. yeah the room #'s dont make sense. and he opens the door to what i thought would be my sweet hotel room by the beach. it is dont get me wrong .but first thing i see is a masive cockroach. the guy i guess was skilled in pest control becasue he stomped on it and kicked it out. i kinda ...

... good for a swim. We climbed 4.5km down to level 5 and then all the way up again - covered in about 5 layers of clothes to protect us from leeches and mosquitos. Our guide said "water is provided during the whole time" - we each got 1 liter which should last for the night and the whole 9km! needless to say that it was not enough.... --------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------- Hallo aus dem Dschungel Waehrend den letzten 2 ...

... at 6pm and so they have to go back to the clubhouse as soon as they can and call it quits. we had a great time together in our little cocktail party. outside it was a full blown monsoon with thunder and lightning and just buckets and buckets of rain. the roads turned into rivers. in about an hour or so the rain let up a bit and the thunder and lightining show was over. the hoskings left for the hilton and i trudged out to number 16
