We ended up in this lovely little guesthouse, paying just a fiver a night, we thought it would be a little shabby, but we're not in a country that rips you off at every given opportunity. it's amazing.


doesnt he look cool :) hehe. we also found a lovely little restaurant and i got my pad thai!!! soo deliscious, and im quite impressed how accurate the recipe is in England - its pretty much the same.



Busy day planned for wednesday (which was the day after) i know were being reall useless with the blog - but being here is too much fun, feel like im wasting my time a bit on the internet.

Home Sweet Home

Tuesday 23rd June

We've come half way round the world, into a completely different culture but the people of Thailand have made the extra special effort to make us feel at home

sadly there was no replacement bus, but we did find a cheery taxi driver and a bottle of water called "cheery" which is distilled by a process of "reverse osmosis" which doesnt sounds very cheery. We made it to the coach station safe and sound and were on our way to Kanchanaburi, where we were hassled into some "saamlaw" (rickshaw) which has a seat designed for two thai bottoms - not ours.

[VIDEO WILL COME ONE DAY... ]



Luckily the place that we were pretty much forced into is really wonderful ... picture to follow, camera is out of battery.

The beautiful sights of Bangkok

Monday 22nd June (or is it still Sunday?)

OK so we arrived at our hotel room, which was really beautiful, kind of morroccan themed with the most amazing swimming pool...


and went on the sky train into the centre for shopping and dinner - which was realllyyy spicy but unbeknown to us at 17.30 whilst in the rush of the train station we realised we may well be in the middle of the largest game of "What's the Thai Mr Wolf?" Luckily Christopher cottoned on and grabbed my arm to stop and listen to the daily recital of the national anthem WHY ISNT THAT SHIT IN THE GUIDEBOOK???


The most impressive thing, was how orderly and polite and SMILLEEEYYY everyone is, its SO civilised, and lovely, not even in a sterile boring kind of way. We had some crazy ass dinner - still not sure what cuisine it was really? Had a super spicy papaya crab salad and some other random meat thing covered in chillies - the waiter laughed when we ordered it. Christopher ate it.

Sunday 21st June...



This is our plane.
It didn't crash.
Unfortunately we wern't aloud to take our furbies on board :(




But more importantly the food was great, and the people sitting next to us wern't annoying (or fat).

PS: DO NOT WATCH 'He's just not that into you' (not that you would anyway)

ETA: 48 hrs


Ok, 

So not long left now and I'm starting to get worried, have we packed enough toilet roll? have we prepared for yellow fever? Ok so I'm over the worrying now but I cant help thinking I have just 48hrs left to eat as many dairy products as possible! 











According to  Miss RJ Lewis this will form the basis of most of our diet while in Asia. I am not intending on eating any Canis Lupus while I'm on holiday however I have found the answer to a question that we have all been asking....





What ever happened to lassie?

Well at least now we know?
