Week 9 Koh Phangan, Thailand

Dear Ethel, family and friends,

The 1st of June means that we have been away for two months today. We are still enjoying our relaxed stay on Koh Phangan. At the beginning of we borrowed Richard’s motor bike and spent 3 days at Haad Chalok Lam, which is an attractive fishing village in the north of the Island. You could almost feel like you were the only tourist at this time of year, although we stayed in the very nice Chaloklam Bay Resort.

On our return to civilisation at Thongsala we decided to stay at Charm Beach Resort, where all of Richard’s friends and family come to stay and Mr and Mrs Charming are well, charming. They also have a lovely pool, and hammocks. We have been keeping up the eating standards by eating at John’s a couple of nights, a Japanese last night. We are off to John’s again for the traditional Sunday roast lunch.

Not really much to report this week as we have been in serious relaxation mode. I did go to the Thai boxing on Friday night. I had never been before and it was a good night of entertainment. I posted a video on YouTube, so make sure to check it out.

We are leaving paradise behind on Wednesday and travelling up to Bangkok for a few night before we head off to London. Not long now.

All the best for now

Ric & Louise
