Brett’s Travelblog of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and The USA

So the last few days in Ko Phangan were certainly interesting!!!! Storms like Ive never seen, it rained for over two days none stop and we are talking torential not just light rain. Peoples houses were flooded upto there first floor, cars under water, rivers running accross roads, lightning and thunder that shook the ground but no wind, so the storm just sat there right on top of us.

Lucky my tickets to Bangkok were for the 26th because 24/25 you could not leave the island due to the weather.
Read an artical in a magazine to saying that Thailand ha the 2nd highest number of deaths per year caued by lightening…. Well although no sun for my last few days of Island life at least it was warm and omething different and made riding my motorbike more fun navigating my way over roads and avoiding floating tree, goats etc

Well Im back i Bangkok again now and the weather here is alot better. Another memorable train ride and of course the obligatory party carrige. I met Lynn from Scotland, Dave ( Wayne Rooney double, all the Thai’s thought he was ) and James from England, Vee from Thailand and her Autralian boyfriend Ben. We drank and partied till about 1am before they kicked us out and we had to sleep.

Its now monday night here 9.20pm and in 24 hours from now I should be over 1 hour into my flight home 🙁
Heading out now for my last night in Thailand, do I make it count or be sensible and worry about getting up and packing and checking out my hotel at midday??? Lets just see what happens.
