Back in Bangkok. Well the journey back here last night on the train was pretty steady although we were 2 hrs late getting in this morning. It's Thai new year now and last night on the train the buffet car was a night club/Party! Never seen anything like it on a train! That said, we were well behaved and only went for a quick look and had an early night. It is Thai tradition at new year... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2703160&go=farleys Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2702616&go=farleys Chaing Rai (Trekking) 9th Left Chaing Mai by minivan and about 2 hours later arrived at Chaing Doo cave complex containing areas of Buddhism worship. Had a guide so went into areas off limits without one due to the fact it would be easy to get lost. Back in the motor and 2 hours later we arrived at Mae Salong. This is a community of Chinese people that moved here 200 years ago to escape Chinese ru... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2702616&go=farleys Mon, 9 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701855&go=farleys Train to Chaing Mai, 6 April After a torrential downpour we headed to the train station. We had about an hour to wait and due to the rain the mossies were on a mission! We waited at the platform to pass the time Siobhan went to get some supplies and I went to get a couple of cans. After the Vietnam train we just had no idea of what to expect but from the outside of these trains our expectations we... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701855&go=farleys Fri, 6 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701541&go=farleys Left the guesthouse and headed down to the Jeath museum. This was all about the POWs that the Japanese used during the war to contruct the death railway. From there we boarded out house raft. This was simply a floating platform with a cooking area at one end, a toilet, a roof, no walls and another platform attached at the end with deck chairs and innertubes on rope. The main area just had thin mat... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701541&go=farleys Wed, 4 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701347&go=farleys Day 1, 31 March Into Samui airport and time to head back to the mainland. Got into Bangkok for 1200hrs and gave us time to check out the local area. Siobhan went to get her hair sorted so I headed out into the local area to get a massage. By the time we met up again it was time to get a bite to eat so we headed to Kasuan road which was only a few streets from the hotel. Cruised through the market ... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701347&go=farleys Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700646&go=farleys Day 5 This morning we were up early or at least I was and got collected from the hotel at 0700hrs and taken to the other side of the Island to the dive academy to meet the dive boat. Once again I appreciate not everyone shares my love for diving so I won"t go on. Just suffice to say we went to a place called Sail rock and did 2 excellent dives. Whale sharks had been spotted there 2 days ago b... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700646&go=farleys Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700188&go=farleys 24th 28th, First Half Koh Samui The pace round here has slowed dramatically so this will be done over 2 entries as there is no in house wifi here.Day One Today was really chilled and we sort of caught up a little on the blog and personal admin.Day Two We did a Thai massage class on each other. Well I say that but to be honest I got a massage and Siobhan got to watch, LOL. Definitely got the better... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700188&go=farleys Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699601&go=farleys Fly to Koh Samui Left the hotel nice and early this morning, caught a flight at 0900hrs and arrived in Koh Samui at 1030 and what a place. The plane was a little small and I know Mrs Farley was not too happy but of course we had life jackets and oxygen masks so all was well. The plane was met in Koh Samui on the pad by what I can only describe as something you would see as a guided tour vehicle in... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699601&go=farleys Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699600&go=farleys Fly to Bangkok 23rd Everyone was due to leave this morning and we planned to meet up with Kelli and David for breakfast to say goodbye as they were leaving much earlier than us. We nipped out to get a few essentials and we got back to find a note saying that they had left early. Really gutted but we will certainly see them again. Got our flight no problem and arrived in Bangkok well on time and go... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699600&go=farleys Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699599&go=farleys Return to Hanoi 21st Woke the next morning and unfortunately the weather was still pretty foggy. Due to the conditions the skipper of the boat decided to head back a little earlier than planned and this proved to be a good call as the fog really closed in and the skipper reduced the speed to a crawl and had spotters out to help him. This paid off when a large cargo ship came out of nowhere and bot... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699599&go=farleys Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT
