Well, here we are in the lovely island paradise of Ko Chang. And it's amazing.
We spent two days in Bangkok before realising that we needed to get away to the islands, so we hopped on a bus (buses here are incredibly efficient and confortable) over to the Trat province, where we stayed last night before getting up this morning and heading here, to Ko Chang.
It's bloody LUSH!
We caught a big ol' ferry across and have arrived today to a beautiful clear sky, white sand beaches and a lovely lunch of Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai noodles. In a couple of hours, we plan to have beers on a platform in the coconut palms, overlooking the sun setting over the ocean in front of us. And we plan to enjoy it.
Thailand has been getting better and better. Whilst it's a bit more expensive than India, it's still very cheap (we stayed in a cool place last night for $4 a night!) And there is one small blip on my happiness... I bunged my back this morning lugging my backpack onto my back. I'm going to throw some stuff out. I will do this! So poor old Tom has been carrying mine and his all morning.... he's a lovely chap!
Anyway, things here are good. I really like Thailand and if you haven't been, I recommend coming for a visit.
Take it easy folks.
