Have reached Chumphon after 12 hours on a train. Killing six hours before a midnight ferry to Koh Tao.
When in Thailand, never refer to anybody as “madam”. It means “black dog”.
When in Thailand, if considering purchase of prickly heat powder, avoid. Its active components are ground glass, extra strong mints and diesel. Particularly do not apply to scrotum or armpits immediately before dinner. When at dinner, do not refer to waitress as “madam’ - see above.
When in Thailand, climb a mountain and swim in a lake under a waterfall.
NB - the Jeath War Museum at Kanchanaburi is run by monks and is a poignant reminder of the atrocities of the Second World War. Less well known is the fact that is houses a “Miss Thailand Directory” in the same building.

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia, where I haven’t stroked tigers, or felt the need to be gay, engaged, or otherwise, but am nevertheless having a superb time.
(just so you know at least one person is checking yer blog…!)
Lots of love,
Jooles
