The first complete post

Hello to everyone, i have tried to edit the 1st post but it has still came out funny, you might be able to make the words out. I think it was part in hindi, does anyone know how to read hindi? lol

anyway, its just gone 11 on thursday morning and i am in chaweng typing this, i will be going to the beach soon and then onto a really good 'restaurant' called datung kitchen where i went the other day and got a lovely red snapper fish in chilli sauce with egg fried rice, a choc. shake and coke. last night i had a meal at 'the wave' which was'nt very good, the chicken was burnt, the satay sauce too strong and the omelette was'nt great. i had a margerita with it but it was very sharp.

The people at the resort are very friendly, there is a kool guy from sweden who is trying to stay our here permeantly, a few irish guys and 2 girls from woking and bordon who arrived the other day, last night the 2 thai guys at the resort put on some music and were given us free drinks until 1-2 in the morning which was good. I thought i might get up late today but i seem to wake up at 8-9 every morning.

The resort is in a beautiful location and oversee's half the island, the weather has been good so far and was very hot yesterday when i went on the safari day which was 9-5 - there was a group of around 7-8 and we drove around the island and took in a monkey, crocodile and elephant show, did some elephant trekking which was really good, it was quite nerve-racking when the man jumped down and let me sit at the front of the elephant to take a few pictures, it was very high up and bumpy going through the jungle.

I also say the big buddha, mummified monk and they showed us how to get rubber from the rubber tree's. The monkey show was good as it showed the monkey working the cocunuts and climbing to the top of the tree and biting and twisting 6 cocunuts so they fall to the ground. the 2 people in the crocodile show put there hands in the mouth and were quick as it snapped shut very quickly, they also put there head in there and retrived a 20 baht note from the stomach.

I appreciate the replys and in case anyone has tried calling or texting my battery has run down and i need to get a charger, maybe from bangkok or from sydney.

I've also been down to lamui beach which was good and spent part of last night in chaweng's centre which was interesting.

On the safari we were in the back of a jeep and as it was riding through the mountain jungles in was very rough and throwing you about but it was all good fun.

i will post again soon and try to find a way to phone before i get to sydney.

hope everyone is good, drop me an e-mail or comment anytime. i have a few postcards i will try and send back soon.

how did the kestrels do on sunday?

thanks for the comments leanne, they are good to see, i will try to call soon but its difficult to say when, hopefully before i get to sydney.

how is everyone at mitie doing? are you still looking at buying a pub sometime in the future kevin, hows that going? and a big shout out to the lovely lovely louise, hows it all going?

How are nan and grandad? have they got the new sofa yet?

I hope julie and sharon are doing good as well, drop me an e-mail anytime - its been great heaering from lee, really appreciate that.

oh, before i go, if you're reading this paul i did go into svenssons and it was fantastic, some really big chocolate ice cream for 1-2 pounds. - btw - i saw the the nfl scores, we blew a lead mainly due to the ST's but its been poor all season so no real surprise, i saw the miami score!!!!! maybe it was a typo but it said 3-0 on nfl.com - must have been an exiting game, to be fair the D must of been very good as pitts. are strong at home, i heard the conditions were bad, how is beck looking?? any first downs yet? lol - i saw this morning about sean taylor too, very sad.......reminds me of the 2 denver players, these things should'nt happen

take care everyone

कोह Samui

Hello, welcome to the first post in my blog. The flight from Bangkok to samui yesterday was delayed by a few hours so i did'nt get to the island until 6pm local time (although i was very impressed with bangkok airport, very spacious and i had a lovely breakfast there, i got a taxi from the airport to the bottom of the mountain and then the taxi driver had to कॉल the jungle club resort who came and picked me up as the resort is in the mountain and jungle and the taxis cannot go up there, i was picked up in a 4 x 4 jeep and it was very very bumpy। i checked in and went straight to bed as i was exhausted after being up 30 plus hours। i awoke at 6am on the monday and it was raining outside which was a little worrying, i went back to sleep and awoke again at 8.30 to beautiful sunshine and you would never have known it had rained at all, the weather has been very hot all day. At 9 am i went down to the cocktail bar in the resort and started the day with a black russian cocktail and a bottle of heineken as i waited for the free ride from the resort to the main area of chaweng at around 10. The ride down was fantastic, i was sitting in the back of the jeep on the outside in beautiful sunshine and going down the mountain and into chaweng and the scenery was incredible, its such a gorgeous little island. The people at the resort are very friendly to talk too and i met a lovely german women who told me she had been travelling around australia for almost a year and working and going home soon।i have spent मोस्ट ऑफ़ the Beach ऎंड had a maal oeph karab in karrii povdar, along vith paark noodals nd a phruit joos, a phev kokes nd a nis aais karen। i have phound a svenssons hiyar (tel pol) nd i vil tarii thaat letar in the viik। aur maybe tumoro।i vil be buking 2 phul de tours, van on vednesday vhich inkludes yelephant trekking, a vaalk in the jangal, siing the mummiphiyed monk, the grandmother nd grandphaather rochks, siing the krokodiles (somone told mii yoo kain put your hed in tere maauth but i vil sii!!!), siing the monkeys vorking the kokunut triis nd a phev other things vhich i phoraget। the other toor vhich i maay do on phriday is to spend the de phishing in the saauth chaainaa sii on van oeph the laarge phishing boatsd vith a nis lanch, yetak.....the jangal hat i eum staaying in has a laarge bed nd a baatharoom, i heard lotas oeph diphpherent yeniimal noises laast nighat but nothing kaam in!! lol nd vith the moskuito net i diid not get biit mach iph at al। the door is siiled at the bottom nd al the ve raaund nd has a padlokk to sikyor the propartii asnd i just kiip the ke vith mev (i kno mam vaas bound to ask।hovs yeveryone at mitii dong? i appreikaate ther kol laast viik nd i hop yoo al kiip in kaantaakt, vhen is thaat go-karting nighat? oh, btv kevin - the amount oeph stunning voomen hiyar vould blo yoo aave, chaveng baach is like a goldmine।i vil post bek agan letar in the viik oeph vhenevar i kain, iph iv missed anything then just se, i'm oeph to have a litil vaalk around chaveng nd मय्बे गरब सोमेथिंग to एअत।ब्त्व - आईटी इस स्त्रंगे टाइपिंग थिस अस आईटी इस अल in थाई बुत इ कैन'टी कनवर्ट आईटी to इंग्लिश उन्तिल the एंड।एनी क्यू'एस थें लेट मी क्नोटेक करे, g
