THIS is Thailand!!!

Hey All!

First and foremost, a happy father's day to all the Dads

Writing to you from Koh Phagnan, one of the islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Arrived here yesterday by ferry from Koh Samui, where we'd spent the previous two nights. We flew from Chiang Mai to Koh Samui on Thursday morning. The airport in Samui is one of the funniest things I've seen, there doesn't seem to be a proper terminal, just a collection of shelters!

We went to Chaweng, on the east coast of the island and checked out for places to stay and ended up in Charlies Huts, literally just a collection of huts beside the sea, no air-con, two-to-a-bed, real thailand stuff!! Chilled out there for two days, lazing on the beach only bout 50 metres away. Went out each night, though the night-life was very resort-like. Ended up bumping into a few people we'd met along the way, which was pretty cool.

Got up for the 1 o clock ferry yesterday, arrived here in time for the Lions match. While everyone was watching the match, myself and Paul, and the Ross and Paul ended up having to check out nearly every place here in Had Rinn for somewhere to stay, nearly everywhere is booked out 'cause the FMP (Full Moon Party) is only a few days away. Finally found a goldmine in the Sandy Bungalows, where we've two 4-person bungalows for 300BHT per person, right beside the beach and air-con rooms. Only bout 10 mins from Sunrise Beach too, where the FMP happens.

Not too much other news with us, that I've noticed anyway.

Happy fathers day again!!
