Hey guys
 
I write this sitting on the floor of an Internet cafe on sunny Koh Tao! This place is awesome! The island itself is probably no bigger than the whole of the Weston Hornbuck ! Idyllic nonetheless! Beautiful palm trees and awesome beaches! Went snorkelling yesterday and saw some amazing stuff! You name I probably saw it! Parrot fish, angelfish, clown fish, an octopus, blue crabs, barracudas etc you get the picture! Its like swimming in your own fish tank! Schools and schools of fish everywhere! Have got the opportunity to go diving but I’m going to leave that to Lee and Vicky! Plus you have to get up at 5am, sod that, and with a hangover, I mean really!

Played some mini golf just now. Check this out Gibbsy........course par 72 , Camp Freddie’s shot a 61, including an Eagle 3 on the castle hole! Is there still room for me on the Gibbs / Holloway weekend??? Talking of that weekend. We all know what a good party it is throughout the whole weekend! Lots of cheddar valley, if you like that sort of thing and pimms central if you don't! (p.s. bring your own porsche!) 

Well, has anyone been to a full moon party????? I have! This was a week ago on Koh Phangan, in a place called Haad Rin! Again, stunning scenery and beautiful beaches, but, and I’ll say that again, but, at night this place turns into a binge fuelled frenzy of dance music, drugs, buckets (I’ll explain in a minute) and lots and lots of fire! A 1/4 mile beach packed with 13,000 people (it goes up to 30,000 in high season) drinking dancing and generally having a good time! People jumping flaming skipping rope, flaming limbo bars and burning rings of fire! That’s right just like the song! Only went and jumped through that twice!! A bucket, gentlemen, is a small plastic object mainly used for carrying water or possibly sand! Not my friends in this case! 1 can of coke, 1 small bottle of red bull that’s illegal in the UK, some ice, maybe a squeeze of lime, as they don't have lemons in Thailand and one 1 1/2 litre bottle of Sangsom whiskey (the local brew, smells a little like petrol but its ok with some coke!) All for 150 baht, roughly £2.05p! Awesome!
 
Going over to the west side (aiiiii, gangster) in a few days! Koh Phi Phi etc!
 
Hope the results have been going well! Have we beaten Wincanton yet? I don't mean in a fight!
 
Next time you hear from me I’ll be in Singapore!
 
Ciao for now

Hey guys!
 
So I hear you've lost every game since I’ve left???????????
 
I'd love to say that I’m having the worst time of my life but I’m not! It is amazing! who'd of thought camp Freddie would have ridden an elephant, I mean really? Some of the things out here are just unbelievable! I mean the temples are really good and the countryside is ace! Dyker would be a bit disappointed with the cows out here as they are a bit skinny! maybe he should go into the elephant business?? Had a Thai massage the other day and I think Gibbsy could pick up some tips from these guys! Didn't get the one with a happy finish tho! In a place called Vang Vieng at the mo and going to do some tubing! Basically you use a tractor tyre inner tube and float down the river getting pissed! Did an amazing 2 day trek into the hill tribe village , where our guide almost nailed a cobra with a catapult! Got to stay in his house which looked over the jungle and he cooked us some of the best food so far! I felt like Ray Mears or Bear Grylls walking up this hill! He said it was a little hill......... 1 and a half hours up a thing the size of Everest!  Swam in a couple of water falls which was cool and me and Lee climbed all the way to the top of this huge one and stood on the very top! Ace! Played football-volleyball with some kids in this village which was good, because all they wanted to play was hit the white man!  Had a really interesting conversation with a guy on Khao San road in Bangkok! Keep in mind I’d only been in Bangkok for 20 mins trying to find my hotel!

Him: Tuk-Tuk?

Me: No thanks mate!

Him: Taxi?

Me: no really , I can see my hotel!

Him: I make you good suit?

Me : nah mate can't carry it !

Him: ok , I have special for you! ( getting worried now!)

Me: oh really, what ?

Him: you want to see girl with ping pong??

Me: no way

This is the point when I knew I’d done the best thing in my life so far! I mean a guy trying to sell you everything in one go was just insane !

Anyway guys I’ve got a lot more people to see , place to drink at, Danish girls to pull (wink-wink) so I’ll be in touch in a few weeks or so!

all the best

Campo! x

p.s. has Kav made it into the league team yet ?? because I can't remember him doing much apart from diving around?
