Sawadee Krap, which meas 'hello' in Thai speak. It doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it? I always feel a little odd saying 'Crap' to someone you've just met (unless they're from Newcastle of course), but that's the way it is and the people seem to smile when you say it. Preparation H, which of course means 'Preparation for Holidays' and not a strange ointment for sorting out the farmer Giles (although it might be needed after four weeks of spicy hot Thai food). Take a look at the fully loaded 'Blackpool Donkey' in the picture - talk about travelling light. The little 'pully case' is full of Suzanne's toiletries.Ok then down to business, cos I know you lot and you won't be looking at the blog to see where we've been, what you really want is free tea, preferably in a cup. So here is your easy earner to start things off and a simple 'googling exercise'. Our first stop in Thailand is Koh Chang, but tell me please, what does Koh Chang mean in English type speak?

Great to see the Blog active again.
I'm not proud of it, but I've used Google (as per your instruction I may add) and Koh Chang is 'Elephant Island' due to the shape of the headland. I've checked the map (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amphoe_2307.png) and I assume the headland is named 'Yawning big-nosed teddy bear'?
P.S. Jenny dropped your keys off yesterday. I've been down to check it out and they've left it in quite a mess. I've never seen so many empty cans
:-O
Rusty man, did you not see my earlier post about heffalumps? Don't you be trying to claim cups of tea when I just happen to say elephant with a different accent!
