Hello,
Whats new? Monday we went to Jim Thompson's House-who is he?? He was an American man who fell in love with Thailand, made it his home and revitalised the silk industry after the 2nd world war. Great house made out of teak and beautiful jungle type gardens, a nice oasis in the middle of a bustling city. Spent the afternoon in Lumpini park, another oasis in a big city. Bangkok is so busy and smoggy so it was nice to get some fresh (ish) air and do some people watching.
We then embarked on our journey to Koh Tao, another long one starting in Kousan Rd-the main back packer haunt in Bangkok. A coach journey and then a 2 hour wait in Chumphon at 5.30am before getting the boat to the island. Very beautiful, palm tree lined beaches and the view from our beach bungalow is stunning. Lots of divers practicing in the pool, very laid back and chilled-great after 2 days in Bangkok!!
Tomorrow is scuba diving for Linda and I'm going to do a try dive-HELP!!!
Thats all for now folks, Linda and Penny

I thought Jim Thompson's was a bar / restaurant!
Penny, Linda,
Sounds like your having fun. The kids are tracking your progress with a red ribbon on the world map which is on the wall of the Kitchen all Raiders of the lost ark stylee.
Tip from your geeky big brother, use the save as draft facility in Blogger to prevent loosing your blog entry in mid flow.

Hey! Sounds like you're really getting into it now. Hope diving was fun - I still have great memories of my snorkelling in Croatia last summer. Pen, the blind you made me is up at last and attracting compliments. Off to Ellel tomorrow.
