Vongduern Villa Koh Samet

... as some other places we've been. We stayed at the very comfortable Silver Sands resort where we would dine on the beach in the evenings and sip cocktails, whilst watching their magnificent fire shows. The effortless skills and elegant style of the fire-performers, set to a monotonous trance soundtrack were highly mesmeric and we sat for hours with Pina Coladas stuck halfway ...

... to t*ke *nybody there th*t comes to visit us!<br><br>On Sund*y we were picked up by the speed bo*t, g*ngster style *g*in, *nd were brought b*ck to B**n Phe where we hopped on * bus *nd were b*ck home by 1pm.

... the first time. (Don't worry, it's just flavored tobacco...nothing illegal.) <br><br> It was a very fun weekend, and now we're back in Bangkok and the three of them are getting over their burns and looking nice and tan while I remain ghostly white. Oh well. <br><br> On Monday, Jacquelyn and I will be heading up north to tour Northern Thailand.<br>

... amazing curry! <br><br>At night we generally hang out at the bars close to our bungalow, they are right on the beach, so we sit right on the sand and have some drinks. A Chang beer, which is quite popular, generally costs 60 - 80 baht for a 650 ML bottle. <br><br>I hate to skimp on the details, but I want to get some pictures up! Tomorrow we leave for a new island, which is quite tropical, called Koh Chang. Hope to write more soon!

... and no one else came - which was wierd because i knew they had left with me. I waited a few minutes because turning a moped around on a small road is difficult but after 5 minutes I figured it would be best to go back. When i had been driving for about 30 seconds there was a scene I will never forget - lots of people who were mostly these really nice Swedish people who were really helpful and everyone except Helen and Emma standing around looking ...

... to go in the winter because e it gets as cold as 50-!!!! It's fun making all these foreign friends that we can visit later!! So we met him for dinner last night and then watched the most spectaular fire throwing show, it was amazing, how they didn't burn themselves i do not know! I'm still struggling with the veg food thing still, last night i had to have a grilled potatoe and grilled corn on the cob- yum!! There are hardly ...

... so hard. Of course this is the Thai way. So, I am supposed to teach them English. I have my lesson plan. A lesson plan that I must say is very boring and mandatory that I use it to pass the course. Basically, I model a dialogue. Q. What did you do on your last vacation? A. I went surfing. Q. Where did you go? A.I went to Koh Samed. Q. How did you get there? A I went on a plane, To go with this dialogue you draw ...

Howdy, Only a quick note tonight, not too much to report, went out for a few beers last night for Brian's birthday, was a good night, managed to find a bar tha was open at 2am to watch the football, not a great result, but we'll 'ave 'em in the next game !! We've booked the bus tommorrow to go to Cambodia, getting picked up at 8:00am, it's a 12hour bus journey ! So early night, and get the ipod on charge !!!! Were heading for Siem Reap, to go round Ankor Wat and can't wait, it ...

... fools, i'm kinda used to that so thought nothing of it, round the next bend we had to hammer on the breaks.........No ruddy road !! The thing must have been washed away or something, we took a couple of pictures, did some triganometry and decided probably best not to attempt to jump it, so we turned back, then we noticed the back of the bike was siding around (very unusual, i offer good downforce!!) We had a flat !!!The sky's had turned black ...

... to take showers and a short nap.<br>The plan that night was to go to Sai Kaew beach. We received a flier about some live music at Ploy Talay so we thought we would go there. The only way to get there at night was by road because of the high tide. It was all wet and muddy, and we almost decided not to go. I was determined though, so I carried M on my back and tip toed through the mud. We made it across! Anyways ...
