Arrived on the 22:00 from Heathrow, was sat next to an australian guy called Andy who was a fairly broad chap and a girl who was off to New Zealand for a year, was good to sit next to 2 decent people rather than the obligatory in flight idiot.

On arriving in Bangkok it was genuinely hotter than the sun and I nearly melted, I had an hour wait before getting a 40 minute internal flight to Hua Hin. I was the only person on the small 12 seater plane - my own plane for £55 quid - lovely stuff.

Met gilesey at the airport, and jumped aboard a Tuk Tuk back to his Villa.

Quick turnaround and we were straight out into Hua Hin, home to the king of Thailand and quite possibly the highest concentration of Brass per Sq Km in the world. Went a got a great meal in a restaurant opposite the Hilton around 7 dishes, copious amounts of beer all for £20.

Have had a relaxing first few days chilling at the Hilton pool and drinking in some crazy bars, it is is certainly authentic thailand. It is almost impossible to work down a street with out being propositioned. It must be like this for celebrities constantly - I would hate it.

Of to Koh Samui tomorrow on a five hour train for the weekend, I hope they have a first class carriage!! I had suggested riding down on the scooters we have hired but it is 300 miles and thats a long way on a hair dryer.
