ONE, TWO, THREE.............................CHEESE!!
i once read somewhere, who knows where, that this traveller said he never takes photos on his journey because it makes clouds your memory with the photo, and not all of the whole experience. you know how when you look through a photo album and you se a photo and it reminds you of that day and the only thing you can really remember is the photo?
well for some reason that stuck in my head and i have tried to only take photos that i think have been worth taking.
ever since i took that photo that i showed you guys of me watching the sunrise on the islands, which i was really proud of, i have been trying to match it with every other photo i have taken.
so as a result, i havent really taken that many. a few people have been asking me for more photos and when i went through them all, i realised that i should have taken so many more.
so i have been a bit snap happy today.
hope you like them!

this is the one of the sunrise minus me. the photo isnt blurry like the one with me in it.





when we were on our way from Ko Phangyang to Phi Phi Island, this guy sat up the front of the boat and pulled his guitar out and started playing. this was the boat trip when the dolphins came up and swam with the boat and itwas really hot and a nice smooth trip, total oppisite to when i left the island!


this is just one of the islands on the way to phi phi.

these islands really are exactly everything that you'd imagine a tropical paradies to look like.


this is one of the roofs in the Wat Pho where the worlds largest reclining buddah is kept. it was really overcast and just as i arrived and went to take this photo the clouds parted a little to give me a patch of blue.


here is the touristy shot of the gold and mother of pearl ladden reclineing buddah. the budda is actully about 15meters tall.


just when you though the buddist religon was something different, something shows you otherwise.

no my friend, a church is a church.

and money is money.


the buddah and the boy


praying in the great buddah hall.


these little tackers were playing checkers with pieces of fruit that had fallen off the tree above them. the ripe ones were orange and the unripened ones were green.

no gameboys here kids!

you make do with what you've got.

well only two more sleeps in bangkok left. my flight to london leaves at half past midnight on the 11th.

going to catch up on some gift shopping and then try and see if it is possible to wear 15 kilos of clothes!

if there is a will, there is a way!
