Diary+from+Phuket

Me again...

Tomorrow is the beginning of the Thai New Year, and as Britney V has already told us when and how long it goes for, I am just waiting now for all the excitement to begin.

Apparently from tomorrow for the next few days, water is thrown over you no matter what, or where you are.. Today, I was coming home from the beach on my motorbike, and there were two Thai girls standing out the front of their shop, with a really large drum of water... They saw us coming along, grabbed 2 small scoops of water in like a saucepan and DRENCHED us !!! They just laughed and so did we because it's what happens here at this time of the year. So, instead of getting angry, tomorrow I am going to get even!!! (just jokes.).. I do have a high powered water pistol, which sort of looks like a mini missle launcher, so I feel sorry for the people that are in my line of fire tomorrow.

Tomorrow is also considered the hottest day of the year, and if the temperature gets as hot as it was today then I think the water fights that everyone will be having tomorrow will actually be a nice cool change.

Dont forget to keep a look out in the discussions area for different quiz questions over the holidays.

Stay tuned for more updates and photos..

Back again...

 Its now April 16 and I have been sitting on the beach here on a small island south of Phuket called Koh Lanta. Not alot to do but relax. It is very hot here and the water both in the pool and in the ocean is very warm. The hotel pool is like a bath tub because it is that warm.

I am going to hire a motorbike today and explore the island.

Bye for now.

April 19th..

Back at my friends house in Phuket and we have just had a huge thunderstorm.. It was really good... Cooled things down alot.. Last night was a full moon so I went to a full moon party. Everyone painted different patterns and designs on themselves with FLURO paint, and then the place we were at had the purple lights everywhere, so EVERYONE was glowing.. Looked kind of silly but fun at the same time.

Im leaving for home tomorrow afternoon... Back in Sydney on Thursday..
