Hua Hin, Thailand

Hello!

Sorry we haven't updated on things in the past week - I guess we didn't think that enough had happened to write a new blog, but after a few concerned (and very sweet) emails we thought we should update you on where we are.

After Cambodia, we went straight to Bangkok, where we spent 3 pretty uneventful nights. We have sort of learnt our way around here, so we tend to spend our evenings either watching movies in cafes or going to the cinema! As you can see, not much has changed even out here!

After Bangkok we took a very comfy train down to Hua Hin, a popular sea side town which is a favourite holiday spot for the Thai Royals. We ended up staying in a room on stilts going out into the sea, which meant that every morning we were woken up by the sound of the waves crashing under our room! Although Hua Hin is nice, it is very touristy and busy, so we were missing our Cambodian paradise already... But it was great to catch up with our friends Kim and Frazer, who we met up with down there. We also got invited to a very special party at Frazer's dad's house in the Beverly Hills equivalent area there. First of all, the house itself was incredible and unlike anything we'd ever seen - it had completely open (ie. no walls or windows) living, dining and games room and the overall finish made it seem like a 5 star hotel! The party was really very posh, the Hilton had prepared the decorations and food, and it felt more like a wedding than a simple birthday party. Add to that it was a neverending buffet of delicious food and an open bar, and as you can imagine for 2 travelers - we were in heaven! lol The next day we slept until 4pm!!

Today is the second day after the party and we took the train back up to Bangkok and we will be making our way East, to a nice island near the Cambodian border, called Koh Chang. Our visa runs out on the 28th Nov, so we will have to pop over the border and back in to renew it.

So that's all for now. Thank you sooo much for the emails - we love reading them so keep them coming!

Lots of love from us both :o)))
