Sukhothai - a dirty town with a dirty name, home to us for a grand total of 1 day, was a replicate of some wild west town where the latest technology was the knife and fork. Went there to see the ruins before travelling to Bangkok. The ruins were certainly impressive at the entrance but tom had spotted on the map an almost hidden ruin far away down a desolate road. As we had rented out some bicycles for the tour we hiked it across to this hugely dissapointing monument, it took us three around an hour to bike there only to be severely let down, out of breath, out of liquid and baking under the midday sun. He got more than a slap on the wrist for his troubles, the abuse continues......
Got the VIP bus to bangkok, disaster, it was uncomfortable compared to the 2nd class bus we used the night before to enter ghost town. Bus aside, got robbed by the taxi geezer who wanted around 300 baht which we agreed to pay, we then got hit by the road tolls, twice, and then paid around 50 bar for the flight to Samui, expensive night.
29th january, 8:30 am. Arrive Samui airport. Walk on the beach at the resort, come back to find the 3 aussies and shelley, all whom we had met at soi 1 in Bangkok at the bar, strange. Next few days consist of drinking games, going out in chaweng, watchin the FA cup and today renting a 4x4 to tour the island and see some waterfalls, yet to see a great beach though, maybe just not looking hard enough. Tonight will be the same, i'm trying to conserve some money, it's more expensive in the south. Yet to go swimming, phangan in two days, full moon party in four.

Hitting the outer Buddhas? Good sense of adventure; leave poor Tom alone. And what's wrong with wild west Thailand? Nothing wrong with a bit of culture shock. Good to see you developing the backpacker's miserliness so quickly. So let me work this out ... hmmm, the rip-off taxi cost you £4.50?
Enjoy the islands.
