Pooing and Spewing in Samui

Poor Mel!!!! Last night Mel came down with the dreaded Thai Belly which I am sure a few have had before and I will most likely get today. After an evening of running to the toilet Mel waited for our guests Scott and Sally to leave before she evacuated her system from both ends .... at the same time!!!! Not a pleasant time for either of us although I am pretty sure Mel had the worst end of it. Felt much better after a big spew although at one point we thought we may lose her. The smell seems to have left the room now however she is still not fully over it. Sure the seafood banquet tonight will sort her out. On a positive note she is very happy with her new and improved flat stomach. Always the optimist.

All the best to the North Shore netty trippers - here's hoping you don't end up feeling like Mel.

Love ya work

Koh Samui

Since arriving in Koh Samui which is an awsome place we have had great fun catching up with some Aussie friends Scott and Sally and Baz. Few big nights out and lots of fun by all. Have been eating dinner on the beach most nights which is beautiful and cheap. Lucky's has been the venue of choice however the beach party at Ark Bar was a really big one!!!!

We have hired a scooter which is great fun and a really cheap way of getting around the island. The sun was out for the first real time yesterday and we made the most of next to out seaside pool with a brilliant view. Last night it rained like we have never seen before but today again it is a cracker of a day. We have been to see the Big Buddah which was.... BIG!!!

Treating ourselves to a seafood banquet at resort tonight which should be very nice.
We are having an 'amazing' time (that was for you Scott) and can't wait to come back in January already.

Off to lay by the pool. We are off elephant treking tommorow which should be great.

Speak soon

Pattaya

Well interesting times in Pattaya. Not the sort of place we would suggest you take your family - however as Evan always says "it's about the experience".
accommodation was great and the sun was most of the time there so it was great just lying around the pool and having a few drinks.
We ventured out one night to the Alcazar Centre which is a massive complex devoted to 'lady boys', 'Shemales' or whatever you wish to call them. There were over 1000 people at the show and we managed to get front row centre (maybe not the greatest move!!!!) The ladies were all very glamorous and most were very convincing.
At one point in the show a lady who could only be described as large took the stage for a bit of comic relief, dancing, singing, etc. We all became a little nervous when she headed into the audience. First thing she did was rub her fake breasts in the face of a South African guy near us and we thought we were safe. But it was not to be. Next she saw Evan and took a distinct liking to him. She made him stand up and go on stage with her. They proceeded to dance and carry on while the crowd (particularly Mel) cried with laughter. At the end of it she requested a kiss on the cheek and as Evan leant in to oblige she turned and kissed him on the lips. Very funny for all involved (traumatic for Evan). As consolation Evan received as Alcazar 'man bag'.
Hope you enjoy the pics!!!

Cheers
