Hin Nam Sai Suay Hua Hin

Poon Suk street got us thinking about Dr Prunesquallor. Was he a Mervyn Peake or a Kenneth Horne character? We think Peake.

Just back from the Thai boxing. The Brit guy won his bout. The best fight was between two 10 year olds - pure aggression, no dancing or politicking around. First time either of us have been to see ...

As is only to be expected travelling with Jon and his bl**dy computer, which is too precious to leave unattended in Blighty, the aforementioned laptop fell from his bag onto the road as we were trying to negotiate a taxi to the bus station to come to Hua Hin. Thankfully the laptop survived (unlike the one which suffered a similar fate in a carpark in Coin. Spain - it's monitor died).
So ...

... feed a small nation in Africa. Can't wait to get back home to my daily jogging, this beach has been very inspiring!

We are situated at the end of the beach in a quiet bay. The sand is golden and not white since we're not further south. It is very fine though and the sky was cloudless yesterday, with a very light breeze kicking up occasionally. The water is really warm and the waves are very small, providing ideal conditions ...

... stressed and flustered. Apparently he hadn’t been able to find the Hertz depot and had inadvertently taken the road back into Bangkok with no exits for miles! Not my idea of fun.

The flight home was fine – the girls and I were asleep before the plane left the runway and we all managed 6-7 hours sleep. Paul claims he only slept for an hour! We were ahead of schedule and had to wait until 6am to land at Heathrow.

Our ...

... up falling asleep around 8 30 on the 4th of july and nate said he decided to go to bed around 9 30. Yesterday we got up around 8 and hit up the World News Coffee right across the street for breakfast. Over beakfast we decided we were just going to sit on the beach for the duration of the afternoon. We got out to the beach around 11 30 and were walking around. We ended up paying some resort 100 baht to sit on their ...

The final two legs of our long journey that started in Porto then went to Barcelona, Milan and then Singapore would see us taking a Thai Air Asia flight from Singapore to Bangkok and then a 'limousine' from Bangkok to Hua Hin. Boarding the Thai Air Asia flight was a typical experience for a budget carrier - a mad scramble for seats. I have no idea why so many of the budget carriers have unreserved seating on their flights. It couldn't ...

So i've come to our Bangplee site, about 30mins from Bangkok, to train for 5 days... It's great here, very different to Pattaya but just as fantastic for different reasons... here it's much smaller and a real proper 'Thai' camp. The trainers families all live here too so there's kids running round and playing and training and it's all so lovely and feels really like you're part of 1 big family... There are no luxuries here like at ...

... time in Phonem Penh and excited to move on to Kampot on the South East coast of Cambodia..... --------------------------------------- --------------------- --------------------------------- Hua Hin est a trois heures de route au Sud de Bangkok. C est l endroit, pas trop loin de la capitale, ou les celebrites thailandaises passent leurs week-ends et vacances. Pour nous (pas encore celebrite et pas vraiment thailandais) ce ...

... there was a procession in the city for the King, so we were gridlocked for about an hour. Anyway we got out of the taxi and people were yelling Hua Hin this way hurry hurry! They grabbed our suitcases and started putting them in the bus while it was still moving. It was very scary! Brian was still paying for the taxi so I wasn't getting on the bus without him. The bus didn't stop moving so we had to get on it while it ...

... where Dad will be proud to know I paid 4 crisp dollar bills for a small mocha!!) had various Chinese stuff (Made in Taiwan of course!! :)) and a hilarious series of little notebooks with a large bubble cat drawing on them (is this Hello Kitty??) and this text: 'I am BooBoo Kitty. I like Smily. Big Red Apple. I like it.' cool. :) Along with people hunched over steaming bowls at the noodle bar next to my gate--at about 7:30 in the morning, I guess ...
