Thailand - Rest of the holiday

So on from the first few days we managed to cram in a lot.

To do this we decided to book a tour - I hate tours but with all the drama we had it seemed like the best option. So Mr Tong's tour it was - 13 places to visit, these included the following:

Grandfather and Grandmother Rock !!! Well what a wierd one - taking pictures of naturally formed rocks that look like a the private parts of a man and a woman - yes i've added them to the link as I know you soo want to see them.



We then went to a the Monkey training centre - where they train monkeys to collect coconuts from the trees.



A hilltop restaurant was the next stop where we ate Thai chicken curry - it was the best meal we ate in Thailand and the views were fantastic.



A visit to a waterfall, nice to cool off and chill out for a little while


Rubber platations where Dave made friends with a spider whilst I ran for cover in the jeep - this thing was humongous !

A secret garden where a family had carved little warriors out stone, very pretty and clever.

Elephant riding was brilliant ! I love elephants



The Big Budha was the highlight for me. The most beautiful budha i've seen.










So overall the tour was well worth it.

We took the bull by the horns and rented some scooters out for a few days - No licences and no helmets so this was going to be fun. I fell off mine on some sand - what a loser ! We got a bit drunk one afternoon and had to ride home in the rain but somehow I was better than being sober and the sun being out !!! Children - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME !!!

Food was amazing - ate some nice street food, a tip they don't gut the squid - Dave had a barbequed one and got a mouth full of mush !

We couldn't go to the National Marine Park (where "The Beach" was filmed) as some tourist went canoeing and got into trouble in a cave. All but one died and the government said there were to be no tours by boat.
