hot is great

Well i'm here in the south of Thailand in Koh Phanagn, a tourist area where they do big full moon and half moon parties. it took us 20.5 hours of travelling to get here from Bangkok! in the last 48 hours i have officially been on a plane, bus, tuk tuk, car, train and boat. We took the overnight train to get here,which was actually quite comfy but we had to get off at 4am so not a lot of sleep had yet. Bangkok was pretty cool, we got a tuk tuk driver to take us round the all the sights and of course we stopped at the tailors and stuf who paid him to take us there. that was all good until we went to book our train tickets (after one of the places he took us to recommended it) and then realised we had to catch an earlier train and asked him to only take us to one more tailor, then the palace then home. but after his tailor we said no more of his stops and he got raelly shitty so took us back to the hostel haha. still was only 5 baht for about 2 hours, which is about 20 cents NZ. The place we are in now is pretty quiet, our accomoation promised food and a place on the beach. there arent enough people there for them to warrant cooking for us and the beach is not really swimmable haha oh well we will find somewhere. the food here is reallygood.. i've only actaully had 2 thai meals as last night on the train we just ate train station food which was pastries etc. but looking forward to eating more. Havent had an upset tummy at all yet either which is great. The girls im travelling with are also really cool and funny which helps. havent had to resort to playing cards or reading books yet cuz we just nap (to make up for no sleep) and chat and look around. Anyway internet time is running out must fly. Catch you all sometime :)
