My holiday started in the holiday inn, heathrow.....
I got free room service breakfast coz they checked me into the wrong room. It was yum....
I arrived. I splashed out on air con. Bangkok is hotter than the actual sun right now.
I went on a wee trip to the floating markets, which I ate my way around....
And saw the bridge over the river kwai. I never realised how many people died, and found graves of people from places I know and stuff. I wish I'd listened in history.
I also saw a big pagoda. It did exactely what it said on the tin, to be honest.
For dinner, noodle soup. I ate a LOT of noodle soup.
The next day, there was a big thunder storm. The rain got so heavy, it ended up being about a foot deep. For real...
I met a throughly shaggable boy called Simon from mayo, and helped him design a tattoo. I designed one for me, too. That was fun.
That night I got an overnight bus to Laos. A girl I met in Bangkok was on it, so we spent two nights in the most cell-like, unfriendly guesthouse of our trip. It was full of hiipy old men. We giggled lots.
Vientiane, capital of Laos....
Spazzing it up, tuktuk, style....
Local transport.....
Apres school, on the mekong river. Kids are kids wherever you are, whatever you are doing....
Another noodle soup lady. We were trying to find a palace, and instead found the palace hotel. Hmm.
A lao house....
Mr. Whippy, southeast asian style....
We went up to Luang Prabang on a public bus. That was fun. I started singing the JCB song in my head when I saw this....
I went on a wee trip were I went elephant trekking and kayaking and all sorts. It was ace.
They let me take charge of Nelly. Note snoozing tour guide.
Then Sarah and I went to some waterfalls. It was cool and lovely.
A stop at a village for cute kids to sell us stuff....
The night market at Luang Prabang.....
The next morning we got up super early to see the monks collect alms.
I flew back to Bangkok.....
There is a golf course practically IN the airport.....
I had a fun coupla days in Bangkok.....
And made friends with some breakdancers.....
Then I got the bus to the beach. Who would be on the boat but Sarah? We enjoyed a night economising at its best....
Before two nights in a lovely hut.....
We lay on the beach.....
As did goatee....
Ate eggs in bags.....
Hello kitty merchandise.....
And legendry cheeseburgers and eggburgers.....
We went to KCs, where Poon and Sam still work. Poon was most upset I did not wish to shag him....
We drunk whiskey cocktails.....
Stole coconuts that wren't actually coconuts.....
Met the amazing band. I wish they had myspace.....
And chatted with a guy who maintained a vice like grip no my crotch the whole time.
Back to Bangkok (sans sarah), shopping fun, then home.
Goodtimes on an international level.
