1st post from Thailand

Hi everyone,

Sorry we haven't updated the blog earlier, to be honest we've just been too lazy and getting in to beach mode!

We arrived in Bangkok and stayed in an AMAZING hotel which Joel had kindly booked for us, it was a 5 star design hotel so we lapped up the luxury, we knew we wouldn't be getting any for a while! We had a night in bangkok, buying some bits and bobs from the market, we both bought some fake designer watches, mine is great but Joel's broke after about an hour!! We then took a flight the next morning to Koh Phangnan and headed to a beach that we had been to 4 years ago (Thong nai pan noi). In hindsight we kind of wish we hadn't as it had changed so much, so much busier and more built up-the word obviously got out how nice it was! We stayed there for a few days and then yesterday came to another beach on the island called Haad yuan which is lovely, a small secluded bay with a few bars and restaurants but a lot quieter then the 1st beach. We are going to stay here for a few days and then we are going to Koh Tao where we are hopefully going to learn how to dive.

We are then heading to Vietnam on the 7th March to meet our lovely friends Jenni and Dan, we're going to take a little holiday with them to an island called Phu Quoc which is supposed to be paradise, so v excited about that!

The weather has been a bit mixed, it was torrential rain for 2 days and has been a bit cloudy but today was lovely so we made the most of it and we are both feeling a tad on the pink side now!!

Anyways, i hope you're all well. We will keep you updated on our adventures.

Lots of love Caroline and Joel xxxxx
