Koh Chang

We arrived in Koh Chang at 4pm after an 8 hour journey by taxi, coach and ferry. After finding accommodation and having something to eat we went to watch the sunset.

We went to have a drink at the hotel we stayed at on our honeymoon and happened to have some unexpected visitors close by!

We then returned to where we were staying to have a drink and watch the sea.

On Monday (and Tuesday!) we went on a trip to Khlong Plu waterfall.



Spot the rainbow.


On our return we stopped off at the toilets where I found this flying object crawling along with a dead spider!

We decided to take a detour on our way home and check out Lonely Beach.

Another evening, another sunset ...

On Wednesday I decided that maybe I should at least do a bit of cooking while in Thailand and what would be better than a Thai Cooking Class?? So, here are some of the photos...



We made 6 dishes and got to eat all of them! Yummy!





On Thursday we went on a boat trip to 4 islands to do a bit of snorkelling. We saw lots of amazing marine life but unfortunately it was all underwater and we don't have an underwater camera...yet!



My highlight was when a school of pipe fish (I think that is what they were) swam right in front of me :)



... yet another!

Photo update!

So...in my last blog I had difficulty uploading. Here are some pictures in Ocean World.

The next 4 weeks...

Well we have now been living in Bangkok for officially 2 months and 2 days!

I have nearly completed my first term of teaching, had an observation, written settling in reports and led a class assembly! Phew!

Apart from working, I have been doing many other activities to fill my free time, including visiting Ayutthia (which now has extremely bad flooding), Ocean World and Fantasia water park.
This is Ayutthia before it got even worse. As you can see, you can only see the top floor of the house, the bottom is under water.


Mort and I went to Ocean World, at the bottom of Siam Paragon shopping mall (http://www.siamoceanworld.co.th/). It was fantastic, plus I got us money off as I work in Thailand, ching, ching!!! Included in our entrance fee we got a behind the scenes tour above the big fish tank, a ride on the glass bottom boat, 4D movie, drink and popcorn, souvenir and happy feet (feet get eaten by fish!). There were lots of wonderful and exotic sea creatures.
