19 Mar 10 Wrestling with Tigers and taking buckets to the beach…

Jackie and I are currently in Koh Phi Phi relaxing by the beach. It’s absolutley stunning here. So glad we decided to stay here for a week.

Before we left Bangkok we took a day trip to the Floating Markets, which were ok, a bit of a tourist trap to be honest. Instead of the locals being on market stands ripping you off, this time they were on boats… Nice touch!

After that we visited the River Kwai, which we were not too interested in.

The finale was a visit to the Tiger Temples where we got to stroke and kiss (the monk forced me to) Tigers of all shapes and sizes. They were really tame and laid back, for such big fierce animals it’s kind of out of character. Anyway that was a blast, Jackie particularly enjoyed herself.

After some more shopping in Bangkok we took an overnight…. BUS to Phuket, which is kind of like an Asian Benidorm… It’s too built up, but the beaches are nice.

We only spent two nights in Phuket before we came to Phi Phi, which if anyone is thinking about visiting the area, is a must!
