What an exciting few days...I have so much to tell you!!!!Monday night was Ashley's birthday....Gemma had moved on so me and Nicola ended up sticking together and we all ended up having a great night out for a joint birthday for Ash and Nicola!We first went out for a lovely Italian meal, a bit of respite from too much Thai food! Experienced the delights of Chaweng nightlife....was dissapointed to say its kind of an Asian verison of Magaluf!Super tacky, a lot of drunken men...well says it all really!However, we had a great night, lots of Hibiscus trimmed cocktails and some bizarre cinnamon flavoured mini cigars?!?!? Tuesday whilst nursing our hangovers me and Nic decided to go walkabout and see what Samui has to offer....we walked to the resevoir, checked out a temple and then eventually hopped on a motobike to the Tesco Lotus!!!!Picked up some much missed Tesco value treats and then headed back to the bungalow and decided to jet off on an exciting short Island hopping tour of the west coast!!!!Origionally I had been apprehnsive about visiting the Tsunami affected areas but I figure, Im here, I want to see as much of the country as I can, and plus you only live once!!!
Tonight me and Nicola had a corker....we couldnt stop laughing!!!!Came back to our bungalow to find they had chopped all the coconuts down!!!We couldnt help ourselves but steal a couple!!!We hacked them open which was so funny and drank the milk!!!It was a truely rustic experience......

So the next morning we got on our bus at 5, hopped on a lenthly boat journey followed by an excruciating 7 hour drive in a mini-van which was super cramped and the canvas seats had bed bugs in them.....well you can only imagine the after affect of that one, i wont be so crude as to go into detail!!!

We arrived in Krabi Town and decided to spent a night in Ao Nang Bay! Stayed at a really nice place called J Mansion and enjoyed a fun night of good food, Malibu and pool playing with the locals!!!It was such a laugh!!!

Me and Nic playing pool!

Had a great evening!The after effects of the infested seats meant a trip to the pharmacy and a huge Lemon Grass oil spray to deter any more mosquitoes, bugs or creepy crawlies....later that evening Nicola could barely breath as a result of this god damn lemon grass!!!ha ha!!!
