Life is pretty mad right now, I'm stagnating in a Chang-induced stupour - it's not a bad thing. They serve alcohol in buckets here, last night I was drinking with a mix of Thais, French and Norwegians, it was legendary but I couldn't keep up. I think Indian tee-totalism has turned me into a lightweight (or even more of one depending on your viewpoint). As a result my days are spent wondering around the sights or shops in a hangover haze. Like I say it's a lot of fun, but probably something I should leave sooner rather than later for the sake of my sanity.
First impressions of Thailand are that the people must be among the friendliest and most committed to fun on Earth. Indians are very abrupt and altho they're not rude it can come across that way. Thais are the opposite, always smiling and joking. I think I'm going to watch some Thai Boxing tonight - when in Rome and all that - and then maybe head for some water market type wilderness tomorrow.

I don't believe you Rose. "Thai boxing" huh? That's just a cheap - and false - claim to disguise the fact that you'll inevitably end up on Bankok's ladyboy boulevard just out of curiosity...
Have you're having a good time anyway mate. Sounds like a blast.
Ah Chang beer - did you know that it's well known for the breweries inability to accurately judge the percentage? thus it is often about 8% or 9% - and costs about 70p a bottle from a decent bar. I bloody love thailand!!!
if you're island hopping down the south west coast drop into Koh Jam - is a wicked little island paradise!!! enjoy big man
Sorry Gareth - should have made it a little clearer abouty who I am.
Propertyscot is the address I had to set up when blogging for my estate agent PR clients - but you'll remember me for my unkempt appearance, maroon jumpers and general apathy with the Evening News....
How are Thailand's finest lady-men anyway? I'd recommend triple-bagging yourself before going near anything in a skirt if I were you.
