Perving on monks and playing on motorbikes...

You prob haven't noticed from my blogs but the passed week, I've been feeling a little crap. Don't know whether cos its only a week and a half till I leave or a smidge of home sickness, can't work it out. Today however, I came back to my happy place!!

Me and Cabio hired a motorbike and drove EVERYWHERE !!! We went to all the parts of Krabi and Ao Nang that you can't get to or stop at on our usual journey home, to the beach or to Dawn of Happiness.

Our first stop was a cute cafe that I pass by every day on the way home from town. It's got a real cosmopolitan/oriental/modern look to it and I really wanted to try it out... So we did! Due to the air con I could have a latte without melting my entire body and Gab had a fruit lasse. We perved on Justin and Mila's Elle photo shoot, drank our drinks and were tempted by the yummy snacks on the shelves!

We then went back to mine so gabby could meet the puppies, they were very happy to see us, even if it was just a quick visit. I did attempt to ride the bike but failed miserably as my pathetically vertically challenged legs wouldn't reach the damn floor... This would cause major issues at junctions, turning points, stopping and well generally anything except going straight.

Next port of call was Ao nang, we stopped to say hi to our sun worshipping Nana then whisked off to have lunch in the other side of Ao Nang which we never visit. The food was lush, view amazing... Waiter, shit.

Only problem with visiting a new area is finding new shops, I managed to get a new bikini, sunglasses, flip flops, gab got a new outfit and top...our cheap day out, not so cheap!!

We detoured down various roads, stopped at a ridiculously luxurious hotel just to have a peek, went to visit the lying down Buddha and met a fit monk!!

The day was finished off with yet more food at the night market and a fruit smoothie for pudding.

I would recommend hiring a motor bike to anyone, it's risky as the Thai roads are crazy and most insurances won't cover you as a person but if you are careful it's the most free way to travel Krabi and all it's beauty. The perfect way to say goodbye...*sigh*

Home sweet home

Ok, so 2 weeks yesterday I arrived home, cold, windswept and a mixture of excitable and miserable. I was heart broken to leave my Thai world, but so excited to see Mum, Dad, Don, Steve and the dog (of course!) I'm still waiting for the post Thailand blues to kick in, seeing the odd hint of them now and again, but luckily I have a team of love, silliness and hecticness (is that a word?) to keep my mind from wandering to that world of sun, fun and yummy foods. Seeing as it's only the 3rd of May it already feels like a lifetime ago that I was there, but it's not surprising seeing as I have been running around like a madwoman. There has been weddings to prepare for, people to see, hen nights to go to, football to support, coffee to drink, dogs racing to watch, tutu's to make, cakes to paint, boxes to stick, children to wind up and drinking games to be played. Most of the pics below are not mine, I stole some of them off my lovely Libby Fardon and unfortunately I canno...

Last Friday Night!!...

Image
Ok so last night... Well! We danced on table tops, took to many shots and think we kissed but I forgot! (reminded via Facebook next day should have been the next line in this song!) It was the final goodbye for all the community volunteers, all the schools and daycare centres are closed so we are all off home/travelling/meeting with loved ones. In usual Chang Bar style we danced, sang, drank horrific free shots and witnessed some living affairs between the community and conservation teams... ;) shocking behaviour! Was so much fun and I have come to the conclusion that we need to clone the Chang Bar staff and create international Chang Bars all over the world. They are absolute legends!! This isn't going to be a soppy post as the pictures don't really fit the soppy image haha but I love you guys and for the last time "we are from England, Canada, Denmark, Germany, holland, Italy, Switzerland... No not a very large family!" Who run the world!

Sun, Fake full moon parties and tattoos!!

Image
This weekend we headed back to Phi Phi, we can't seem to get enough of the place!! We planned to do all the things we didn't do last time including the tsunami village and the view point. The others succeeded in attempting both but I gave up at the thought of it as both are a bit of a trek. Once again Phi Phi never failed to get us well and truly messy. We made our own full moon party with neon clothing and neon face paint, I managed to get it everywhere... Classy! It all soon washed off though as Thailand let rip one it's infamous rain storms and drenched all party goers on the beach. We didn't let the rain beat us, we just carried on dancing and singing... Mr Kelly would have been proud!! Friday, however wasn't the main event this weekend, no no no. Me and three of the girls decided we wanted a momento from Thailand which we would never forget or lose. We decided to get tattoos!!! We found a tattoo parlour that didn't have any signs of scary metal music bl...
