Well today is day 3 or our tour and what a start.
Thanks to Ray we arrive at Heathrow in very good time, 9 hours before we were due to fly.
The flight to Bangkok was very tiring and boring but we arrived safely and the it all started.
We picked up a limousine taxi and we then had the bonus of a half day temple tour of only 500 BHT ( 7.80 pounds) which was great.
We arrived at out hotel thanks to Marcus and it is TDB, fantastic. Stopped in the hotel for a oriental meal in the Park Garden Restaurant.
The next day with Nancy (local guide) and driver we went to 3 temples with, GOLDEN, RECLINING and MARBLE BUDDHA. Also China Town, flower market. What a great way to see the area in the comfort of our private taxi.
We then met Marcus & Sally and went to the famous Lemongrass Thai restaurant. Great.
Finished off with a couple of pints of Guinness.
Today we again went with Nancy to a coconut farm, floating market ( very commercial ) cobra snake farm (very cruel), elephant and crocodile zoo/show, Thai wood carving centre (very skilled).
Been for a couple of pints in The London Brewery Co. micro brewed beer was poor but Guinness was again good.
Dave and the Girls are now having a nap before we go for dinner.
We fly to Patong Beach Phuket tomorrow so will let you know how that goes.
Bye for now P
