Hiya Guys
Well its been week since hit Koh Samed apparently Ive been spelling it wrong. The island is T shape and very pretty. We are living right next to the beach and just awlk away from the bars on the beach. Weather has been fab, hot hot and hot I know its cold back home in England. Tan has come back hurrah so chuffed and just checked weather for India and its 95F so sure gonna be even hotter there!!!

Ive mainly chilled out on the beach working on the tan, had couple of beers and then back out on the night for a few more. We've had couple of really drunken late nights so suffered bit the next day ha ha!!! Its not too busy on the island as it is winter time but lots of nationalities here. I did have bit of scary experience with one of the famous stray dogs, yep it went for the butt, it really shook me up. The self same dog went for Helen too this was on the Monday and by the Weds we had heard that it had gone for another 3 people and whilst we were having our evening meal heard a lady shout and yep bit her too!!! So we all went down to reception and demanded that this dog be removed cos was dangerous. After a while two rangers turned up and that night the dog was removed thank goodness. Tell you what it really put me off stray dogs for sure. Good job Ive had my rabbies jab eh!!!!

Im not sure if would head back to this island but defo would come back to Thailand and head south to see the beaches there. I had my hair plaited which been great for the beach and going out, think might adopt this style back home ha ha!! Also whilst on the beach, you can have any beauty treatments you want, foot massage and pedicure which was great, hair plaited, thai massage (painful)manicure, head massage. The thai ladies just come around and ask you what time and they come back while you sit in the sun you get pampered and its so cheap about 300baht for foot massage which is about 4.50pounds mad eh!!!!

Off to Bangkok tomorrow for couple of days then fly to India on Monday get there late so catch up soon and hope gets bit warmer back home.

The first night back in Bangkok in the Hotel De Moc there was four of us left from the original group. Jaunted down Ko San Road where Michelle was brave and had tatto!!!! It did cross my mind to have one and did like some but after seeing Michelle's face I changed my mind, what a wuss eh!!!! Anyway back in hotel couple of drinks and hit our rooms. At 2.30am approx we heard shouting outside our rooms and thought whats that, I thought someone drunk then Nicola said no she's shouting FIRE!! What!! Yep oh my god we opened the door and smelt but couldnt see the smoke and I remember thinking what the f***in my head (sorry mam!!) Anyway no lights or alarm going so I just grabbed my bag, not unpacked stuff so small rugsack had tickets and passport and handbag had cash and cards and knew my head torch in the rugsack. Headed out to the stairs and everyone was coming out and the staff finally arrived with torches. Outside there was all the guests and emergency services. We just sat watching them, no one was telling us anything at that point and finally after about two hours they said fire was out and we could go and get our bags!! We sat downstairs waiting for the all clear to go back to our rooms, finally back in at 6.00am and to be honest think thats when I really thought about what had happened. It was apparently electrical so thats why the lights and the alarms had not gone off, I know in England its different circuit but hey we in Thailand!!! So another adventure to add to the list one I defo dont want to experience again!!!!

So fly tomorrow (19th Nov) to India for new adventures, apparently very hot there so hopefully tan wont fade ha ha!!! Cant believe how quickly time is going only 12 wks before I head back to cold England and the credit card bills ha ha!!!!
