Hello everyone, we are in our first internet cafe in Bangkok , the tour has been excellent so far. We arrived safely and were happy to see the runway was in good shape! Our hotel was far to nice for backpackers, with ensuites free breakfast and some free beers!

On the first evening we headed to Suan-Lum night Bazaar, which consisted of a huge outside food court, with beer towers and many many food huts with various noodles and other thai dishes. Also at the bazaar were hundreds of market stalls with many different products; Natalie purchased some butterflies(dead) and us gentleman bought some Muay-thai Boxing shorts! The evening was very pleasant but was made very exciting by our tuk tuk ride home! All four of us bundled in what you would imagine was a two seater glorified scooter; then when stuck in traffic our slightly unhinged driver asked us if we fancied doing a "wheelie"!  We said yes. You have to see Adams video, which we will upload at some stage, to see the full excitement of it all, we ended up doing four wheelies, fearing for our lives, but in fits of laughter. It was brilliant.

Day two was an early start with a tour in arguably the most pimped out taxi/people carrier the world has ever seen. The three hour drive took us to the Death Railway and the Bridge Over the River Kwai, both amazing places to see, steeped in history. As excellent as it was at both those locations the day belonged to our trip to the Tiger Temple. You will have to see the photos which will follow soon to appreciate this place. We all (even George was brave enough!!) had our photo taken stroking real tigers! Possibly better than that even was Natalies quote of the day! When walking around the grounds with various animals walking around Natalie enquired "that cow has horns like a deer", very much to our amusement, it was a deer.

That evening we hit a few bars and lost a few games of pool to some Thai girls(possibly ladyboys we werent sure). After a good few drinks we retired to the hotel where we all put on our afore mentioned Thai boxing shorts and had a Thai style fight! Very amusing but was brought to a premature end when I pulled off an amazing suplex which saw Adam fly into our lamp and smash it to pieces, very rock and roll of us.

We have moved on to our second hotel/hostel today and are eating at the worlds highest outdoor restaurant tonight, we will keep you posted...............
