Day 5 in Thai

Classy brek included in the classy hotel.

8am leave for Wat Pho (reclining Buddha). Birth place of Thai massage. Buds is v cool.

Take a boat down the the river, Bangkok Noi. Fed the fishies.

Back on the bus to Kanchababuri for lunch by the river.

Hospital time 😬 good news good news, do not have malaria. Just food poisoning 😒 bloody Thai curry’s.

Bus to our floating raft house for the night. Swimming fun and canoe fun… right up until we crashed into the rocks.

A boat brought our dinner to us; red snapper, sweet and sour veg and other goodness 👌🏼

Watched everyone else have some dranks before retiring to our thin floor mattresses as we were the ‘teenagers’, oldies got proper beds downstairs 😒

Day 4 in Thai

Appear to have contracted Bangkok belly.

Little bit of chill by the pool before saying goodbye to some short lived pals.

Walk over an hour to my 4 star hotel as I don’t trust the taxis to not just take me to their suit shop or something.

Walk through a million fruit stalls on the way craving a banana. The only one that has them won’t let me buy one as they’re too green 😒

My new roomie for the seven day tour is Canadian Rohanah.

Still feel like poo so stayed in a watched an ep of bake off then had a nap.

6pm we went to meet the new tour group. 2 old women from South Africa, Middle Ages couple from South Africa, young German couple and me and Ro.

Defs not gonna be as good as the India crew 🙁 thank god for the teenagers.

Went for dins in a lovely looking Thai place, had sweet and sour veg then back to bed.

Day 3 in Thai

Roomies very much arrived at about 2am. 3 Canadian hippy people who had been on the plane for 24 hours and still went straight out. And only one of them drinks 🤔

Woken up by more excitement as they’d already been up and out for a Thai massage whilst I was still sleeping.

To the pool.

Why is everyone so loud and confident and smokey 😒

There is someone giving someone else a nose piercing in the bar, whilst a guy is dabbing is fresh tattoo which probably says something stupid and another guy thinks he some kind of motivational speaker. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Get me on the bar crawl. Includes a free vest 😏 and a bucket and shots.

Right after a Thai green curry. Feel thicc.

Found 7/11 garlic bread on the way home 💕

Day 2 in Thai

6am Josh and Ellie leave to get a bus somewhere else.

American dude also checks out of the hostel.

Poached eggs on sourdough toast with fresh basil for brek 🤤

Major thunder and lightening but I start my walk to the Grand Palace. Ended up walking through a university.

Dilemma as it’s too hot for rains but too rainy for no rains.

Make it to the Grand Palace, it’s very grand indeed. Get a sneaky pic of the emerald Buddha 😏

Next stop golden Buddha, via a stroll down Khao San Road. Got me some fresh mango. Delish.

Golden Buddha is amaze 😍

Picked up ma laundry.

Food stalls smell amazing and the clothes are so indie, I could spend a small fortune here 😩

No roomies have turned up as of yet so I venture on downstairs on my lonesome. Join a ‘welcome table’ and have a bucket of gin. Need. Food.

Seek out some Pad Thai. Lovely.

Literally everyone here smokes, what is wrong with people 😩

Back to bed for moi, still no roomies 🤔

Day 1 in Thai

2pm land in Bangkok. Eventually find the orange bus then can’t find my money.

Paid £5 to withdraw more and turns out I had it all along. Looks too similar to Chinese money 😒

Sat on the bus for about five years before it finally moved. Khao San Road here we come.

Got to Mad Monk, reunited with Josh and Ellie. And some American dude in our room.

Got some washing done for the first time in a month. Treat yo self.

Went down for our free welcome drink and then got some food in a v weird cafe place. Table cloths had the alphabet on them for little kids. Took ages for the food to come and she/he kept going in and out over to the stall across the road to get the ingredients 😂

Back to the room to get lit lit lit. First experience of Khao San Road; mental and hilarious. Can’t finish a night out without a Maccys tho 😏

Back to the hostel for a long overdue sleep. Apparently I fell asleep whilst Josh was still talking to me, lol.

Day 18 in Ind

Return ma ped 🙁

Oats for brek and pack my bag to take to the luggage room.

Walk to the beach to meet the pals and watch them eat.

Ulian hired a surf board, unfort I am out of money so no surfy surf for moi 🙁

Bit o tanning and swimming and bat and ball before lunch and much the same after.

Realised I’m getting fat from lack of Joe and two greasy curry’s a day so needs must… Joe on the beach. In 33 degrees. Feel sicc.

Must mean I need a G&T.

Rest of the pals leave for their yoga retreat. Lonely Loz is once again 🙁 4 hours to kill before my taxi to the airport.

Communal shower at the hostel was occupied so mosied on back into my former room to use their shower 😏

Watched a bit o mad men but generally a lot of boredom before my taxi came at 11pm.

Dropped me at the airport for 1800 rupees, I asked if he had change for 2000 and he lied to try and get my whole 2000. After about 10 minutes of wandering around trying to find change somewhere he finally realised he wasn’t getting my money and gave me the change he had in his pocket all along.

So early for my flight that the check in desk isn’t even open.

Mosquitos swarming around me inside the airport. Some smelly guy sat next to me offered me repellent.

Another three hours to kill before flight number 1 at 4am 😴😴😴

Back in Mumbai with yet another 3 hours before I can finally be en route to Bangkok. Good lord I want a bed 😩

Day 17 in Ind

Cheeky lil lie in 😌

Brek included with ma £4 a night, oats and flax seeds and banana. Health.

Decided to bite the bullet and get a ped so I can explore with Liv and Julian. Alex too scared 🙄

Christ alive the first 30 seconds just getting it back to the hostel was terrifying.

Liv and Julian came to pick me up and I followed behind. Got the hang of it a lil bit.

Major rain so we hid under a shelter until it stopped then went along the coastal road and came across our own private beach. Bit of tan time and sea swimming before heading back.

Turns out I’m a pro peddist.

Managed to watch a bit of Bake off before going to din. Invited my roomy to come with, ped is a whole other experience with a passenger 😰

Two random peeps joined us at dinner, and so did a cow 🐄

Made it back to the hostel safe and sound

Day 16 in Ind

Said goodbye to Vindog 😪 how we going to survive without him 😩

Taxi to South Goa with the remaining crew. Get halfway and someone drives into the back of us (fairly slow moving), this time they actually care, get out taking pics, police come. We got out to check out the damage and there’s basically nothing there 🙄

Arrive in Palolem and drop our bags off at the hostel then go to Livvy and Julian’s abode.

Walk to the beach; that’s more like it 😍 lunch in a lil place next to the beach, avo sandwich 👌🏼

Scooter hire time 😬 Josh straight away nearly crashed into a tree. I tried for about 30 seconds and decided it’s probs not for me.

Walked back to the hostel to meet my roomies, a German, a South African, a Dutch and a fellow Brit.

Quick wander along the beach to check out the scenes.

Julian picked me up on his scooter to escort me to the restaurant for din.

V nice restaurant on the beach. Had another sizzler. Huge.

Josh and Ellie depart, 9 become 4 😪

Back to the dorm for ol Loz. We have a snorer 😒

Day 15 in Ind

Sweet Mary and Joseph I feel like poo.

Few voms later and I’m funky fresh and ready for pool fun. Me vs Julian in India’s got talent. Smallest splash goes to Harps.

Skipping with towels is harder than it looks.

Went out to get presents for Vinay for being so fab, got a bottle of whisky and a bottle of rum for £7!! And a T shirt that says Prince 😏 plus a notebook for us all to write something in.

Time for the final supper 😭😭 went to a super cute restaurant on the beach front and everyone said their fave moments and we gave Vindog his presents.

Came back to the hotel for a drink, Vin dropped the bag and the bottle of rum smashed everywhere 😒

Said goodbye to Rosie and Charlee as they leave in the middle of the night 😭😭😭

Sad times

Day 14 in Ind

9am leave for the Airport. Goa here we come ✈️

Arrive and go for a walk, beach is not as beautiful as everyone said it would be.

Resort to Goa massive 🙌🏻🙌🏻
