  Bangkok, Thailand
Friday, July 18, 2008

Well, I guess you though we were in prison!

I know it has been a while, but me and loops have been having far to much fun to sit in a stinking chicken shack internet cafe and wait 45 min for a page to load. but we love you so here we are.

we last chatted to you after the maldives thinking life could get no better ...... que Thailand. It has been  a pretty crazy month or so so far.

We started in Bangkok and headed for the Khaosan road, the party capital of the capital.. it lived up to its name, we arrived around midnight and were drinking buckets os sansong with randoms within the hour! pretty hectic place but we found some cool local live music bars a few streets over, we were the only westerners in there and was very cool.

after a couple of days we decided it was time we warped our fragile minds by experiencing the ping pong bar. again a random but very cool night.
We met a couple of young US guys and started the night in style, we went to a bar called vertigo on the 59th floor of the banyon tree hotel. (very swanky and exclusive) the best panaramic view in bangkok and we forgot we were travelling for a while and ordered wine that cost more than a weeks accomodation.

But then within 20 min of leaving we were holding a pingpong bat and defending ourselves from some very fast flying and sticky pingpong balls! (Say nomore!)
The night should have ended there however Lu and the american chap got chatting to the mummasan who took a liking to them and took us clubbing, skipping all queues and getting us drinks, cool.

On leaving Bankok we went to Authia to see our mate Chris 'the rock' who works as a teacher up there. We spent a few days drinking far too much Thai brandy with his expat mates. Lovely to see him tho.

from there we jumped on a sleeper train and headed south to visit the Islands. Epic weather and beautifull beaches, we spent a while on Koh Samui people watching the sex tourists and watching a bit of Thai boxing, and basically chilling.

Since then we have spent the last 19 days on Koh Tao (Heaven), its like the Lost island as we kept meaning to leave but staying even longer meeting more and more people.

Since being here we have been very busy compleating Advanced diver, Emergency first response, Rescue diver and around 10 fun dives. The diving is amazing, 30 foot vis, and 30 degree waters.
We have seen al sorts the coolest being graytip reef and bull sharks, large shoals of barricuda and tons more.

Just checked out and waiting for our boat to Koh Pangan for the full moon party tomorrow night!

massive love to all and see you in about 10 years!

P.S it takes at least 2 weeks to upload any photos here so check my face book for a couple of snaps, i'll show you the billion others when were back. Lee we'll have revenge for your 3 hour slide show ;0)
