Phuket
HI Gooses :)
we arrived in Phuket last night after spending about 6 hours playing cards @ the airport, we missed our flight frm BKK - PHK, so had to wait for the next one to fly @ 6.45pm. Phuket is cool, we went for a swim today @ Patong Beach.
Currently on a tight budget, we're limiting our spending on food, starting from yesterday. our lunch n dinner were from 7-11 hehehe but we're all happy and well :)

Chiang Mai
we are in the Northern part of Thailand. we arrived here on thursday- flying Nok Air (they suck, bad feelings towards them grrr). we booked a hotel and a tour package at the airport. we'r staying at Top North Hotel, which is the best place we've been in on this trip. the room is spacious with 3 single beds.
yesterday we departed @ 8.30am for our tour. it included an hour long elephant ride, seeing the hill tribe ppl, treking into the jungle for a swim under a waterfall, white water rafting and bamboo rafting. nicole and i shared the same raft. our guide was funny! he went: "CROCRODILE!" then splashed water with his ore to get us soaking.
the tour finished up at 6pm. im amazed at Chiang Mai, it has really exceeded my expectations. the city is nice and calm, the weather is cooling and the nature is awesome. during the tour we met 2 canadian guys whom we later had drinks with @ our hotel. this day was the highlight for me :D

Pattaya!
~ we left bangkok on sunday and travelled by bus to Pattaya. Enroute, we visited Max's house. it was a flipping paradise there. a small town similar to Rollerstone with a beach, palm trees, pool and wharf. we stayed there til sunset, it was beautiful! took some silly photos there, will upload sooon! Nicole is uploading hers now ;) Max's aunty then treated us to a delicious seafood dinner by the sea, it was so nice, one of the best meals we've had in thailand.
Pattaya is two hours away from bangkok. the past two days, we've been exploring the city. we went to a mall, watch the PingPong show, Ripley's Believe it or Not studio and watch the Alcazzar show (lady-boys). the dancers were preeety! we also came across some body-paint shops here which can make tattoos that last for two weeks for only nz$5. yuppo!
really, bangkok is a better city than Pattaya. here is so seedy, we have seen so many older european men with young thai girls. and there are also many many bars and trans along the street @ night time.
tomorrow we are going to the BEACH and ride the banana boat!
check u out later ;)

THAILAND
HIII!
how exciting it is to update you all about our trip in thailand!!!
we arrived on Tuesday, and have since been taken around by Max and Sam (our local thai friends :), we are so lucky!) we have been eating lots of local food, the first night we checked into our hotel, it's pretty swell. it's near Kho San Road- the backpacker hub. we took a look around the streets and were amazed to see an elephant walking on the street!!
we then went shopping in the big malls in thailand and were also shown to local smaller, cheaper shopping areas. we ate mango and thai dishes! also visited Chinatown, Grand Palace, Temple. today we had a day tour to the Floating market, cobra show, croc+elephant shows, thai culture show. then had a real real nice seafood dinner with max+sam @ a riverside restaurant. we ended the night by going to Karaoke, loved it!! it's soo much better than NZ. on the way back home we had a hell'o a ride in a taxi- we assumed the taxi driver was HIGH as he drove so fast taking over cars, he also turned up the music for us to sing hahah :D
tomorrow we are going to the huge Chatachuk Market!
in the mean time, pls visit Nicole's facebook for photos of singapore :)

singapore delight
5 days in Singapore :D
upon touch down, buddy ol' Ken picked me up from the airport, we took a cab back to his sister's condo, it's a nice spacious apartment on the 6th floor, downstairs has a mint pool! i took up the heat and humidity with a goulp, it was like being in the Qe2 sauna. we went for a swim this afternoon and then picked up Nicole @ the airport too! so awesome that we both arrived on the same day :) Looi was also at the airport, all of us had dinner @ the airport with Nic's friend Amy.
The past few days, Amy acted as a great guide, taking us to try local food (i love singaporean food!) we ate alot during this trip, we also went to Night Safari Zoo, Sentosa Island.

HK Review
Happy New Year to you!!!
Tonight is my last night in HK, I'm departing to Singapore at 10.30am. I just uploaded a heap of photos taken during xmas to new years onto my space: http://bobbyanderson10.spaces.live.com/
While i was uploading the photos, I took some time to reflect upon this trip. It has been an amazing spending time with my family, especially over Xmas and NY. I'd like to give a big thanks to my Mum&Dad's family, i've enjoyed all the moments we spent together. Wish you all a happy, healthy and wealthy 2008!
