Where are we?
Cross-town race in a tuk-tuk meant we just caught the bus to the capital in time. Slightly perturbed to find guys outside a hotel we passed calling out my name, turns out the hotel was called “Simon’s”. Ended up at the Lazy Fish where our room is on stilts in the lake. You can see […]
Hi everyone We flew to Siam Reap on Saturday and managed to find a nice clean hotel in the centre, although our driver did try several times to take us to his brother’s/dad’s”hotel out in the sticks somewhere! We spent a 12-hour day on Sunday looking at the Bayon and Angkor Wat temples… …and watched […]
To prove there is some culture to Bangkok rather than a Blade Runner-esque freak show we visited Wat Po where there lies the most enourmous Buddaha. The feet alone are over 4m high, the soles inlaid with mother of pearl. Afterwards we had a traditional Thai massage as the local massage school. I’m sure my […]

Our second tropical island is even hotter than the first. We are again staying in a beachside hut, made mostly of straw. However we now have ready access to alcohol once more (mekon buckets, oh dear). This may explain why Simon’s first aid skills took a turn for the worse. On finding Olga with a […]
Staying in Nakhon Si Thammarat for a bit of culture for a couple of days. Our hotel is beautiful, and we even have hot water! Today we went to see one of the biggest temples in Thailand, Wat Phra Mahathat, and sat and watched as 6 new monks were inaugurated. The building is meant to […]
Spent 5 hours on train. Luckily we bought a supply of Lychee. Yummy
Hi all, Couldn’t post from Flora Bay because their internet connection was so flakey. No internet and you’re REALLY cut off from the world!! Here’s some pics… Here you see Olga with Lee her PADI Dive Instructer after Olga completed her Open Water course. Then a view of our front garden from the bungalow. You […]
