Well, I'm hanging around in Bangkok trying to make contact with my sister-in-law which has so far proved unsuccessful. So in the meantime I'll upload some photos for you. I got very lazy with picture-taking after Laos, mainly because everything memorable happened at parties in Koh Phan Ngan. As I didn't want to lose my camera on a drunken night out, it never came out with me so the only pictures that I took there were on my last night. Shameful, I know.
While in Koh Samui I managed to delete everything on my memory card, over 500 photos covering half a dozen countries. Amazingly, however, a very clever chap in Bangkok has recovered all of them which I'm extremely happy about as I'd pretty much given up on them altogether. It's wonderful how inventive people here are - they can do undreamed of things. And yes, I've been to the ping-pong show. So I know.
Yoni (from Toulouse) and I at 'The Chill House' overlooking Haad Rin sunrise beach. Haad Rin is where the Full Moon Party is held. The Chill House is a lovely, friendly, scenic spot with a cozy deck, comfy hammocks and a fantastic view.
Warren (left) and Guy sipping a potent conconction at Pong's Paradise. These are the guys that I shared the house with in Koh Phangnan.
Warren 'Wozza' with his takeaway bucket on a moped. Buckets are lethal. I learned this last time I was in Thailand 5 years ago when I swore I'd never touch one again. 
Famous last words.
Nina and I at Nina's shop 'Fusion' in Haad Rin. Nina was my star yoga pupil and has been living in Thailand for about 6 years.
Bucket mania on Haad Rin Nai (Sunrise).
Fire games have gone a bit crazy since the Thais have discovered just how far the drunken farangs will go in the name of entertainment.
Then they blatantly show us how it should be done. Yup, they win EVERY time!
And I FINALLY make it off the islands and back to the mainland.
Where I await my bus up to Bangkok.
