Thai

We did the day tour to Ha Long Bay which was pretty good....though half of the trip was spent on the bus to and from the Bay. We went kayaking which was fun, but the weather wasn't too great so we got abit wet, then we saw 2 caves which were very nice (they are trying to make them one of the wonders of the world apparently).


Yesterday we flew over to Bangkok, Thailand. It's very nice here and very civilized compared to the busy compact streets and crazy roads of Vietnam. Did a tour yesterday around the many temples here on a Tuk-Tuk which was cheap (20p each!) but they make their money by taking you to shops and trying to make you buy things. We went in 2 suit shops and 3 travel agents and they all tried to sell us stuff but we stood firm and told them where to go. Went out last night which was, as far as I remember, a good night, and a cheap night. Had a few drinks before we went out, watched the West Ham v Liverpool game in the bar, beat some locals at pool, drank some more then woke this morning with a bad head.


This afternoon we went to a massive market which was good. Brought some nice T-Shirts at a very reasonable price, and a few other odds and sods Off for some food later and to watch the footy. Come on City.

Eye is better ;)
