... honestly, I'm deadly serious, promise. Good boys they are, they're just looking after their Number One girl, thats me, and they have also taken a shine and a very fond liking to my lovely boyfriend Phill, which is always a bonus. Both Uncles have religiously read and enjoyed our blog to date and somehow, I don't see that changing whilst we're here, in their territory! Ahem. Clay and his lovely girlfriend Pim joined us at Pukky's Bar. We spent a few hours ...

We left the next day for 1 night in Bangkok before flying home , When we get home we will sort out what all we have seen & been told the last 2 weeks but feel as a church to look after girls rescued from sexual exploitation & trafficking.

... to the building site behind us and said that it had been shut for months and wasn't due to re-open for another 6 months. So we set off to look for another hotel. We noticed one across the road which said it was newly open and there were rooms at discount rates. We went in and there still seemed to be a lot of building work going on. We went up to look at the rooms, which were very nice, and this place was a little further forward than the one we were ...

... The centre is so much bigger they now have 21 bears as opposed to the 16 they had. Baby bear now has another baby bear to keep her company. They have a lot more gibbons too including some babies and a new baby elephant. They also have an aviaty now with Toucans and Eagles in. They are[planting more trees in the forest and some gibbons are in the forest in enclosures but at least they are closer to there natural habitat. They are doing such a good job but ...

... The music was turned on and we took turns singing, badly, and belching into the mic.  And so it went, for the next few hours.  The singing progressed from bad to worse as the peanuts fell on the floor and were subsequently ground into the carpet as I danced along to my rousing rendition of "Darlington County".  You didn't know that you could dance to "Darlington County" did you?  Well, my friends, take it from me... you can.  Devan disappeared and came back with an autographed ...

... how great it is to know who everyone one was though. In the states everyone (nurses, aides, dietary, housekeeping) all wear scrubs. You usually can't tell who is who. Not here though. Everyone had a uniform, and I hate to say it, but i preferred that. Especially if you don't know the language you at least know who you are dealing with. Which is good since I dealt with so many people. I had a person come in from the hotel to find out what i wanted to eat, I had someone from ...

... to older teens who had a bit more menace. It was okay to watch actually. Luckily no blood - few dizzy heads and bruised knees though. We stayed at 'The Amadeus' bungalows. They aren't directly on the beach but only a 3 min walk away. The staff are absolutely great and they have the cutest puppy too. Really nice place to stay. Mike invested in a mosquito zapper which looks like a small tennis racket, except the strings are alive and they zap any kind of bug in its ...

... President, the last is the *******. At the start of each game, the ******* has to give the President his best two cards, and the President gives his worst two cards in return, thus giving the President the best chance to win the new game. After winning a certain amount of games, the President is able to make arbitrary rules, such as "if you make eye contact with anyone, you have to drink." And the ******* has to do menial tasks like refilling drinks, clearing cards ...
