Dear Ethel, Family and Friends,
Wednesday we left Koh Phangan at 7 in the morning and it took a ferry a bus a mini van the aircraft and a taxi, as well as 12 hours to get to Bangkok. However we ended up in a creepy rundown hotel in the seedy side of Bangkok that we found in the Lonely Planet book. We booked it over the internet but you just never can tell. Needless to say we found a new hotel and moved into a more respectable hotel in the seedy side of town. We squeezed in a day of sight seeing and went to the floating market, The Tiger Temple and the River Kwai in one day, a 13 hour marathon and we got to see one of the , but it was worth it.
We fly out of Bangkok on Sunday 9th June, just after midnight. We have spent 3 nights here and have done our shopping and some sight seeing as well and ready for the next part of our trip to start.
I started writing this email as we were waiting for our midnight flight, however I got cut short and now finishing it on Monday afternoon about 4pm local time, the computer and body clock is telling me its 10pm, its 1am back home in Australia and I’ve only had a few hours sleep really, but we did see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace today, but I’ll have to watch the rerun on video as I’m now just so tired. Such is travel.

All the best
