Subject: Hi from Koh Samui and Bangkok.

The three lads from Ireland have arrived and it’s great to see someone from home again. All totally sunburnt so myself and the three lads are taking advantage of the air conditioning in the Internet place for awhile! Shona is on the beach again of course, no pain no gain she reckons! The sunburn is defo as a result of the speedboat we went on yesterday, it was absolutely class, felt like we were flying through the water, but the wind made us burn way more easily. The lads are dying, typical males! You'd swear they were in a fire with the pain they're apparently going through!!!

Koh Samui is absolutely beautiful, we're staying in huts right on the beach and the weather is fabulous. You can get massages on the beach, well in the shade in kinda hut-like places, so of course I indulged myself the last day and had a full body aromatherapy massage! Gorgeous! Only cost five euro and lasted a full hour. They do about five or six people together so people chat away if they know each other. You would've loved it! Think I'll get another one later on this evening before we head back to Bangkok.

Bangkok is grand, not dirty or seedy like everyone says. Just a bit boring really compared to here. Wish we could stay longer here but the lads are flying out tomorrow night so we had to go tonight. Hopefully the weather will be ok in Bangkok, there was torrential rain before we left, we heard it was on Sky News there was so much flooding!

I know this one is short, but have to leave the Internet café now, so take care until we’re in touch again.

Suze.
