Thailand Will hopefully update this ASAP with content - realise I have been slack, but have been uber busy and am, frankly, in a great deal of pain. Have much to say, so given a clear day I’m sure things will come flowing from fingers.
For now, a few photos for ya….
Nai Harn Beach - a little R&R
A moody Nai Harn sunset.
The place has become FAR busier since the last time I was here. A little eerie being back as this beach was destroyed by the Tsunami a short while after I left last time.
The “Boxer Bar” & resturant. Across the road is my humble abode.
A shot from inside the Tiger Muay Thai training camp.

Dubai Arrived safely in Dubai and am currently sitting in the now very familiar “Irish Village”. Not so familiar are the prices - a Guinness to celebrate the day of the Paddy (albeit 4 hours late) has just set me back a tenner. Ouch!
Ah, Guinness
Flight from Heathrow was an absolute dream. Queue was zero. Nill. Instant check in. Damned good timing. Security was swift, wait wasn’t too long and boarding was easy and uneventful (picked up some of the fantastic free mags on offer from Emarites on the way through).
The plane (a mahoosive 777) was I’d say only about a third full - and because of the nice man at the empty check in desk, I had three seats to myself (and thus a makeshift bed).
Add to that a bloody decent veggie meal (OK, that took a little work), and all the JD I could drink (the hostess bringing them out two at a time to save legwork bless her) - the trip here was probably one of the most pleasant I have ever experienced.
Well, except for the remarkably smelly man in the seat in front of me, but I can only hope that my snoring proved equally irritating 
Catch ya all soon xx
